Alex is taking a potential client to a baseball game and wonders, "What's the appropriate attire?"

Whenever attending a sporting event for business purposes, consider the context of the environment and dress in clothing that is functional for the occasion. Even though your dress code may call for wearing a tie to the office, it would be out of place sitting in the stands of a sweltering ball park.

If, however, you're entertaining the client in an air conditioned skybox immediately after work hours, that context may dictate that both you and the client will be wearing whatever your standard office attire would be.

Always dress contextually for the occasion without losing your professional edge.
