It's important to remember that clients will form an impression based on how the therapist looks and dresses. Therefore, it's best to err on the side of professionalism and dress in a manner that communicates competence and respect for the therapeutic relationship. Casual attire may communicate a lack of seriousness or professionalism. Consultation with professional dress codes and guidelines may be helpful in determining appropriate attire. However, Vanity Fair is not a reliable source of guidance for professional attire.
