EIGHT RULES CONCERNING CLOTHING

1-BUY THE BEST CLOTHING YOU CAN AFFORD.
Don't stint. Quality tells and quality clothing will look better on you and wear longer. Make sure
that what you buy - suits, dresses, shirts, blouses, shoes - fit you well.

2-BUILD A COMPLETE WARDROBE.
Choose clothing for business, for work, for evening wear, for travel and leisure. Be selective. Often items can do double duty. Mix and match may be the perfect answer for you.

3-DRESS FOR THE OCCASION.
Always wear clothing suitable for the situation. You would not call on a bank president in blue jeans, nor would you wear a three-piece pinstripe worsted to play a game of touch football.

4-HANG YOU CLOTHING PROPERLY.
Care in hanging suits, dresses, sweaters and slacks will assure their keeping their shape. Treat
what you buy with respect.

5-HAVE YOUR CLOTHING CLEANED AND PRESSED REGULARLY.
Stains, spots and wrinkles will do nothing for you when it comes to marketing yourself, but they sure can work against you. Proper cleaning, too, will help them wear better and last longer.

6-CHOOSE ACCESSORIES THAT COMPLIMENT, NOT DISTRACT.
Loud neckties on a man are a distraction. So are large dangling earrings on a woman. So are oversized belt buckles and over- loaded charm bracelets. A shirt with stripes and a suit with plaid might simply make one dizzy.

7-MATCH YOUR SHOES TO YOUR WARDROBE.
Keep them to basic browns and blacks, and choose separate footwear for business, for dress-up occasions, for leisure and for sports.

8-TAKE CARE OF YOUR FOOTWEAR.
Shoes trees will help them keep their shape. Keep shoes well shined, watch for scuffs and don't
let the heels wear down.

In short, do everything you can to make yourself the most buyable package possible. As a final test ask yourself this question:

WOULD I BUY ME?
