Our Founder Featured in the Wall Street Journal

We were absolutely thrilled to be featured in The Wall Street Journal on the topic “How to Dress for Success on Social Media.” The article profiled 6 different individuals discussing how to dress for various on-screen scenarios. Our founder, Emily, was chosen to discuss how to dress for success on LinkedIn.

Emily’s portion of the article reads, “For the professional networking and digital résumé site, "you want to look like you're meeting your best client, your boss or both," said Emily Lytle, 38, the Dallas founder of wardrobe consultancy Ready to Where. Ms. Lytle guides clients across the country to project success without falling back on stodgy, Miranda-on-season-one-of-"Sex and the City" suiting. Her recommendations include elevated work basics and necklines that will show up in the frame of LinkedIn's headshots. Recently, she has urged clients to try a cream-colored tweed double-breasted blazer by Theory and a camel Alice + Olivia shawl-collared suede jacket. In her own Linkedin profile picture, Ms. Lytle wears a white Erdem blouse with subtle shoulder embroidery. She suggests avoiding ruffles, keyholes and anything trendy at all costs-those clothes can distract from your credentials, as can flashy jewelry. Ms. Lytle advises sticking with subtle, timeless earrings and a simple necklace.”
