Life Trends: Dress Up to Get Noticed In a Good Way

Generally spending is down for everything, even high end goods.  It is no surprise; people were spending more than they made, and finally credit has run dry.  

However, there is one area where spending is slightly up: professionals are dressing better.  It would seem counterintuitive as many young professionals live in fear of the possible layoff.  Yet another trend is emerging; the power suit is making a comeback.

It makes sense however. If you dress better, you get noticed. Who doesn't notice the best dressed woman or man in the room. If you stand out, in a good way, perhaps you can make yourself less likely to get the axe.  Also, wearing power suit makes a young worker look more professional, which goes against a general gripe that older workers have against younger workers.
