Get the eightsesmug. Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:
You would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...
Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the uncontracted version is "would" not "had".

Get the you bettermug. The degree of formality when related to the workplace, most often with clothing.
formal > business formal > business casual > casual
Companies will require employees to wear business formal in corporate or financial environments, executive and management positions, or when interacting with high-caliber customers.
Business casual is more common in small cities and among mid- and entry-level employees. Some business formal companies have Business Casual Fridays.
When in doubt, it is better to overdress than to wear clothes too casual, so as not to be reprimanded by the suits.
"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have."
