Many Black African undergraduates face a quandary when deciding how afrocentric their
personal wardrobe and image should be.

But, a good school of thought is that ambitious,
young blacks should emulate  their corporate surroundings (while at work) to reflect the
standardized corporate look that has passed the test of time, regardless of industry or
profession. In a word, this is the "navy pinstripe and beige overcoat" image that has
defined generations of career-minded professionals. In short, you should certainly be
yourself, but by all means fit in where you want to launch your career as a budding
professional. The rest will take care of itself.
