Dress Code Hot Take VIDEO: Ban the High-Contrast Collared Shirt!

Why that High-Contrast Collared Shirt Might be Risky Business

So, you're prepping for your LinkedIn profile pic, and you're digging through your wardrobe. But hold on a moment before you slip on that blue shirt with a white collar! Why, you ask? Well, let's rewind to some iconic movie moments:

1. Wall Street:

Remember Gordon Gekko? The epitome of ruthless business acumen, often seen rocking a sharp, high-contrast collared shirt. Now, do you want to give off "greed is good" vibes on LinkedIn? Probably not.

2. The Wolf of Wall Street

Remember Mark Hanna, played by Matthew McConaughey? The man with the chest-thumping, dollar-bill-loving antics. That's right, he's the one who made high-contrast collared shirts a Wall Street anthem. But unless you're planning to chant "money, money, money" in your profile pic, you might want to reconsider.

3. Office Space

Mmmmm, Yeah.... Bill Lumbergh's white-collared blue shirts became synonymous with managerial insensitivity. Do you really want to remind people of corporate monotony?

4. The Office

Remember the Halloween episode where Ryan Howard decided to rock the Gordon Gekko look. I rest my case.

?? Conclusion: The Power of Perception

While the high-contrast collared shirt might seem harmless (or make you feel unstoppable!), it's incredible how much our perceptions are shaped by pop culture. You wouldn't want your LinkedIn audience to conjure up images of cinematic antagonists when they come across your profile, right?

So, when choosing your profile pic attire, let's skip the "villain chic." Opt for something that aligns with your genuine, approachable, and professional self.
