Is it Possible To Undress For Success?

Dressing appropriately for business meetings is imperative.  Our rule of thumb is “you should be dressed the same as the others in the meeting,” whether it’s a suit, dress or something a bit more casual.
TV Anchors Dressed To Impress
When we watch the news, the anchors are in suits and dresses.  Tuxedos and formal gowns would be a bit over-the-top.   On the other end, it wouldn’t always be practical for a reporter covering a story to be dressed in “business attire,” depending on the story they are covering.  TV reporters here in Arizona often dress for being out in the heat while still maintaining a professional look.
Overdressed Hall of Famers
While watching the MLB Network recently, which I do at length, I was amused to see the expert commentators, or anchors, on their demonstration-set resembling a baseball field, dressed as if they were going to a business meeting.  These are former professional baseball players – some are Hall of Famers.
In real life, who takes hitting lessons from guys dressed in shirts and ties?  Or learns the nuances of how to grip a change-up from guys in tailored dress shirts and cuff links?  Or even steps onto a dusty ball field wearing slacks and dress shoes?
It was so awkward that Eric Byrnes, one of the former players who now works for the MLB Network, exclaimed:
“My pants are so tight they’re going to rip!”
Time for the MLB Network to dress-down its experts and put them in more appropriate baseball gear.
