Pride of the Pinstripes

If you believe in the mantra, "Dress for success," you're not alone. As I enjoyed a Sunday night baseball game on ESPN a few weeks ago, commentator Joe Morgan mentioned he could have been a NY Yankee for one year of his career. While mentioning he doesn't like to have any regrets, he wishes he could have experienced what it would have felt like to put on the pinstripes. After all, there's something special in that uniform. (Red Sox fans may beg to differ, but still...)

So then I got to thinking and wondering...how true this really is. What's your pinstriped power suit? Or maybe it's not pinstripes at all, maybe it's your power play briefcase that you bring to and from work day in, day out. I think our corporate costumes, if you will, say a lot about our productivity and sometimes they may magically manifest themselves with the weight they bare whether it's an interlocking NY or simply a brand new silk blouse you can't wait to premiere at a big board meeting.

Then of course there's dress down situations, too. Business casual may be loosely defined and well, I always seem to perform my best when I feel sharp and on top of my game. So while each major league team has their own uniform (check that - most have two: one for home and the other for away games), what type of clothing helps you with your A-game?
