Raymond A. Mason School of Business
About this episode

In 1975, John T Molloy wrote “Dress for Success.” A couple of years later, he followed it with “Dress for Success for Women.” As a result, a generation of professionals had guidelines and rules to follow when it came to the business dress code. In 2022 that code is changing like never before. In fact, there is no dress code today. Professionals have the opportunity to define new ways to dress comfortably while projecting an image of professionalism. Lucy Vozza believes clothing and the vibe you send to others are linked. After spending 17 years in sales with biotech companies such as Baxter, Regeneron and Genentech, she recently transition to a leadership role at BeiGene. She joins us to discuss today's evolving dress code and what you should consider when getting dressed for work.
