Becoming more professional


"Schools report that when students dress in 'work clothes' rather than 'play clothes' they take a more serious approach to their studies" (Mallet par. 1)
In this picture my friends KJ and Erin and I are dressed in formal attire for a DECA competition, which is an organization that consists of applying principles of business and marketing.
In order to compete in the competition a dress or dress pants with a blazer is required. For boys, a suit, tie, and blazer is required.
You are also required to wear the business attire to school. With Mallard Creek's DECA chapter consisting of over 200 members, the school is full of students wearing professional clothing on the day of the competition.
That day I noticed a different atmosphere in my classes. It was as if everyone was more subdued and serious because of their clothing. This is the exact reason professionals wear formal attire to work and special occasions.
