It may sound in an era when everything, including attire, seems to be going the casual way. But this ancient Greek saying still holds water even in this age, especially in the corporate or business context. Often, corporate honchos, business leaders, and even executives face a sartorial dilemma when it comes to dressing for a formal meeting or presentation. Here are some essential tips to navigate through doubts when it comes to choosing the right attire and accessories for business meetings.

It will demonstrate that you understand the relevance of the occasion and respect the individuals you are about to meet. The level of acceptance and respect you get will go up by several notches if you dress appropriately and appear well groomed.
