Why fashion matters to your career!?!

Whilst being conscientious and dedicated will improve your career prospects no end, your image and appearance are also crucial in creating the right impression in the workplace. Although it can often prove difficult to successfully achieve the right balance between smart work wear and showing a little of your personality and fashion style – it can be done if you know what to look for!?!

So read on to discover our top 5 tips on how to create a failsafe work wardrobe!?!?

1. This season promises to be a year when coats will shine in a variety of styles and shapes. A stylish coat is a fashion essential as its one of the first things people will see when you walk through a door. Splurging on one quality coat or jacket for the winter is always worthwhile as it will be worn almost daily and can make less expensive clothes look better designed!!?

2. Don’t be afraid of colour!! Bold colours are everywhere this season and there’s no reason why you can’t wear brighter shades to work. If you are used to dressing in darker clothing – just add a touch of colour with a simple scarf or cardigan.

3. Invest wisely in your accessories and they can be a fantastic wardrobe staple. A well chosen quality belt, watch or wallet will last you for years and will help to smarten up your look in an instant.

4. Air conditioning plays havoc with your body temperature in an office environment, so always layer your outfit during the colder months to enable you to add or shed clothing as required!?! A v neck jumper or cardigan looks great when worn with a shirt underneath and never fails to make a good impression!!

5. Always remember to dress comfortably as your outfit will have to last all day. A great alternative to a shirt is a polo shirt – comprising of a cross between a shirt and a t-shirt, the collar makes them look instantly smarter and adds that little something extra without compromising on comfort!?!
