• DTN Program Highlights:

    Investment Dressing

  • The “New” Dress for Success to Complement Your Professional Brand!

    This program is designed to align with your established dress code. Because of the sensitive nature of dress, the topics are addressed to accommodate budgets as well as avoid any perception of body shaming.


    Tips are given on how to wardrobe, shop on a budget, select a tailor, classic styles versus trends, and industry-specific expectations.


    The “icing on the cake” is impeccable grooming. A quick and easy dos and taboos guide is provided as part of the program.


    A fun, interactive Q&A makes the program fun and allows for non-defensive engagement.

  • Topics, statistics, and a contemporary discussion include:
