The semester has finally ended and now the hunt to fulfill summertime accomplishments has begun. Summer vacation for college students is no longer a time for just relaxation, but also a time to get work done. The ambitious consider it a challenge of “How many activities can I add to my resume in three months?” One major activity that many college students invest time in is an internship. An internship is not only a chance to catch a glimpse into your future career, but it also gives you a chance to get used to dressing professionally on a regular basis.
This Fashionisto looks like he’s ready to take on corporate America one firm at a time. It can get tricky dressing for the average day at an internship. Sometimes, you aren’t sure if you have to dress formally 100 percent of the time or if it’s okay to loosen up a bit. How do you express your style in a professional work environment without dressing inappropriately? The easiest answer to that is to incorporate different fashion concepts by wearing complementing colors. This Fashionisto kept it simple by wearing solid colors. While all the pieces are different, he still still looks put together. The burgundy tie and charcoal gray pants is a popular color combo this year. The classic polo dress shirt, leather briefcase and black patent leather shoes are also essential for formalizing any outfit while on the job.
One Simple Change: Let us not forget that it is still summer. An easy way to transition this outfit to vacation wear would be to ditch the long pants, tie and dress shoes. By putting on some chino shorts and boat shoes, this outfit could be worn at a Sunday brunch as you sail down the Hudson River or have a picnic in Central Park.
