Do You Dress To Impress?

Suit and tie for interviews for sure, but I think it's best to keep it 'understated'.

If you go in to an interview wearing cufflinks worth more than the permie hiring manager's car, it tends to get you off on the wrong foot

But you have to have cufflinks. And proper brass collar bones, not the little plastic ones that came with the shirt.

The secret is to have something tasteful but not too expensive, i.e. silver & enamel rather than jewel encrusted gold.

For me this is a no-brainer and I'm new to the whole contracting game. Suit and shirt everyday, tie if meeting clients. Current clientco have quite a relaxed 'business casual' policy but as I work for myself effectively, I want to maintain the "I'm a professionl and mean business" image. Which can often be confused with the "Apprentice wannabe" look.
