I look professional in suits, shirts and especially when I straighten my long hair. My hair is naturally wavy so it is a high maintenance for the look. How can I look still professional with casual wear (Fridays - dress down days)? Some people look so pro with jeans but I don't. Any tips? I am an IT consultant by the way if that helps.

I say it's all in your attitude. IT guys can get away with more, and their attitude screams that. You are a pro, in any outfit. Know it.

Dark colors tend to read more professional than brights, so pair your jeans with a dark sweater or polo shirt. Adding a sweater or jacket to jeans or khakis also takes them up a notch.
I have wavy hair, too, so I know that hassle. Wearing it either short or long (if you look good with long hair) and using an anti-frizz serum will reduce the 'fro factor.
And professional has a lot more to do with what you know than with how you look. There's no point in wearning a $100 haircut on a $2.00 head.

Don't psych yourself out about suits. Your "suit" on Friday can be a casual jacket or blazer over a designer T and jeans (that's right), or a denim skirt. Pull your gorgeous long wavy hair back like J-Lo. You are over analyzing.

if your a guy . . . check out a mens clothing store like Men's Warehouse. I was very happy going there. They have decent prices and will have a consultant discuss different options for different looks. for females, I'm sure there are similar stores where a consultant at the store can help
