It is vitally important for the instructor's appearance to be very professional. Anyone should walk into the institution and be able to differentiate between the student and the instructor based on appearance alone. The instructor's dress should be professional and conservative. Many students look up to us, and they critique the way we are dressed. The instructor's appearance should be a level higher than that of the student. Remember, we are the role models, and there are some students that do not know the difference between professional dress and club dress, therefore we must teach them, and certainly lead by example. I love wearing suits, but there is other attire that looks just as professional. The key is to look professional!
