Should I dress nicely to buy a car?
Our family car is on its way out, so we are looking for a new car. I haven’t bought a car in quite some time so I’m not sure how things have changed at the dealership. Do I need to dress nicely when I buy a car?

We hope you find an amazing deal for the car you’re looking for! There’s no hard and fast rule, but it’s a good idea to dress modestly and neatly. You want to make a good impression without over-dressing to get the best deal possible!
In general, you can dress according to the brand clientele. If you’re buying a regular sedan, go with a smart-casual outfit. If you’re getting a luxury car, business casual would be more appropriate.
That being said, below are some tips on what not to wear when you go car shopping:
- Too casual — Shorts, t-shirts, activewear, or pajamas
- Sloppy clothing — Ripped jeans or open-toed shoes
- Superfan — Clothing with large car brand logos
- Too affluent — Expensive jewelry, handbags, suits, fancy dresses
After securing a deal on your new car, don’t forget to update your
