Three Reasons Why Your Work Clothes Matter

Dress for the job you want. Youve probably heard
it before, but we cant iterate just how
important it is. Work clothes arent just the
costume we slip into from Monday to Friday
they have the potential to represent the purpose,
intent and personality of your work persona. It
is amazing how some slight changes and thought
towards what you wear can affect your entire
outlook on your work ethic. Here are the top
three reasons why your work clothes matter
3
You are what you wear

• Theres no denying the fact that judging a book
  by its cover is, in fact, human nature. What you
  wear to work speaks volumes to who you are, what
  you value, and even what your role is. If youre
  in a client-facing role, you are the physical
  embodiment of the business you work for. Clean,
  respectful and professional work clothes support
  the ideals a customer is most likely looking for
  in a business setting.

• The most important thing to remember with clothes
  is to keep them neat, crease-free and
  well-fitting. Even casual or service-based
  uniforms (like aprons) can look professional if
  theyre sharp and smooth. Make sure to read the
  care label thoroughly and wash your work uniforms
  regularly and with care. Look after them and
  theyll look after you, is what we like to say!

Your Work Clothes can affect your Performance

• Believe it or not, what you wear to work really
  can enhance (or diminish) your performance in the
  workplace. Work clothes that look good make
  you feel good, and with the right outfit, chances
  are that youll stand a little taller and shine a
  little brighter.
• The opposite is true too if youre in clothes
  that bring down your confidence, are ill-fitting,
  or that are unclean and overused, youre inviting
  poor work ethic and low-self-esteem to project.
  Think of your work uniform as an extension of
  yourself ask yourself, what impression do you
  want to be putting out into the world?

6
Dress for who you want to be

• Continuing on from the point above, your work
  clothes really do have the power to boost your
  confidence. If you want to work your way to the
  top of a corporate ladder, an unwashed shirt and
  loose-fitting pants arent going to get you
  there. Whether your one promotion away or an
  intern, dress for the role you want and the
  person you want to be. Consider what makes you
  feel awesome when youre wearing it and work it
  into a work-appropriate Monday to Friday look.

We hope you are feeling inspired and ready to
change up your work uniform. It is pretty
astounding how a few choices in your work outfit
can totally change your outlook on your job,
role, and attitude to work. What you wear isnt
just what you wear it has the power to shape
your entire attitude and outlook on any given
day. It is a way to personify who you are, and
that is one of the most important things you can
do at work.
