Attire

At Rio Rico Consulting, professionalism starts with presentation. While we encourage individuality and comfort, each role has unique expectations for attire based on responsibilities:

• CEO / Project Lead – Expected to wear business professional attire (button-down shirt, slacks, dress shoes, blazer optional). As the face of the team, the CEO should reflect leadership and confidence.
   
• Market Research Analysts – Attire should be business casual. Analysts often interact with community members during surveys and interviews, so clean, approachable, and comfortable clothing (polo, blouse, khakis, or flats) is recommended.
   
• Operations & Supply Managers – Should dress in practical business casual. Since they may coordinate supplies or visit different locations, attire should be professional but allow for mobility (collared shirts, slacks, comfortable shoes).
   
• Financial Officers (CFOs) – Expected to maintain a sharp business professional look. They will present financial reports, so neat dress shirts, ties/blouses, and formal shoes are encouraged to build trust and credibility.
   
• Marketing & Sales Managers – May wear trendy business casual with a polished edge. Since they promote the business, their attire can be stylish and creative but must remain professional (dress shirts, blouses, dresses, or polished slacks).
   
• Community Liaison / Sustainability Officers – Should balance professional and approachable attire. As they represent the company in community partnerships, a neat but welcoming look is expected (button-downs, blouses, slacks, or dresses).
   
• Design & Pitch Designers – Allowed more creative business casual attire. Since they focus on visuals and presentations, they can incorporate creativity into their look (smart-casual with clean, professional flair).
   
• Support/Assistants – Expected to wear basic business casual to maintain flexibility while supporting different departments.
   

General Rule: Everyone should avoid ripped jeans, graphic tees, or overly casual wear. When presenting to Rio Rico Consulting or community partners, the standard rises to business professional across all roles.
