DRESSING FOR SUCCESS

What do you want to succeed in?

How would your clothes make a difference?

In business, you want people to notice you are efficient, passionate and good at
your job. 

In some industries such as law and public relations you need to dress in accordance with your 
income level.  |This is crucial for your chances of promotion.

You can look styled, confident and professional by the clothing and accessories you wear:
  • tailored suits 
  • elegant styles
  • good quality fabrics 
  • polished grooming
  • relevant accessories that are not too over powering

If you're looking for a partner or going for job interviews, you want to make a great first impression. 

You have just a few seconds to impress with the clothes and accessories that you choose.

Understanding style personality is a powerful tool.
