Like it or not, we live in an image-conscious society. Fellas, you can't make it to CEO in your pajamas -- unless you're Mark Zuckerberg, that is.

Whether you're a salesman or a developer, you have to dress for success. But that doesn't have to mean shirking your personal style. It’s all about finding the right look for both your industry and personality. What’s appropriate for a career in finance, for example, won’t work at a graphic design firm.

Being stylish means something different in today’s era of power clashing and man bags. Gone are the simple -- and horrifying -- days of the khaki/dress shirt uniform. Going to meet a potential client? Throw on a tailored blazer. Want to make a fashion statement at an industry meetup? Reach for a bow tie.

Below is a helpful infographic to help you navigate today’s world of business casual. (Absolutely no khakis allowed.)
