The White Shirt: Psychologically linked to clarity, efficiency, and order. Wearing one can help you feel more focused and organized for a big project.
-
The Blue Shirt: Associated with trust, stability, and calm. It’s the perfect choice for team-building days or when you need to build rapport with a new client.
