"It's important that Canadians learn how to define their workplace style because it can definitely affect how your manager, colleagues and clients interact with you," said Amy Verner, The Globe and Mail.
"Dressing like the cool and sophisticated professional you are helps inspire confidence in your work and can lead to that great promotion or raise."
