I would recommend dressing for success if you are looking for growth.
If that means what I think it does it implies sucking up to the status quo of a visually discriminating society. If you conform to this I think you are part of the problem.

People should be able to work in the clothes they feel comfortable in. Of course this doesn't mean you can show up at work wearing your favorite mankini, or the worn T-Shirt which you last washed 8 months ago.
