You are visually always communicating something. Why not choose the clothes that speak in a positive manner, that reinforce who you are, how you want people to to look at you, and where you want to take your life? Every employee is a reflection of the company. If you think about it, how does a company communicate who they are to their customers? Through marketing? Website? Perhaps through customer service? So every employee is member of the public relations department. Public relations department is one that represents the company. As an individual, we carry our own personal trademark that should also be, again, a strong representation in a positive manner for the company that we work for. So, you know, what is our personal brand? What is our symbol or our trademark that we are recognized for? I can look at a person and say they look sharp but I have no idea why. I would like to look the part, but what I struggle with is time, money, but probably more than anything the knowledge of knowing how. In business it's about a tailored look. Something about your look needs to be tailored. Tailored is when the garment is more constructed; there is more finishing to it. And when the garment you wear is more finished, you appear more finished. And when you appear more finished, you appear more serious and more in the game to do business. You can't afford to have an image that makes you look sloppy. I mean, you wouldn't walk around and say, "I don't care about myself, it really doesn't matter, your business doesn't matter." You probably wouldn't choose to say that but your clothes are saying that. With the proper techniques and education, you can make a huge difference. You can really take control of your life and of your future and of your career. It doesn't cost a lot of money. It just takes a little bit of your time investing in yourself. Be sure your company projects consistent professional image throughout your organization by helping employees master the image principles needed to succeed in business.
