Dress for success

When someone knows the moral principles of how to dress up professionally, then it is unethical to dress up in a way that overrules the above-mentioned terms.

For example, a college student lives in my neighborhood and as he was bought up in the western culture, he dresses up in a fashionable way that is unethical.

This is not only a threat to his behavior but also seems to be irrelevant in the professional surroundings. It is never unethical to live a personal life without masquerading and certain boundaries we have to set for ourselves in terms of outfits if it is concerned to be professional.

It doesn't mean that you are masking yourself if you work in the profession because of passion.
