Every role is different and therefore there is no universal ‘career uniform’. If you have a clientfacing
role you may need to be smarter and regularly wear trouser suits or a jacket with a skirt,
however if you are in a more informal office and don’t have regular client or formal meetings
then wearing a suit or jacket may look a little out of place. Think about your role and what is
expected and dress for that.
Plan your wardrobe.
If you spend too much time every day working out how to dress, you’ll have less time for making
your job a success! Plan in advance, whether that means laying out your outfit the night before
or buying that season’s work wear in advance. VGO Fashion often have great multi-item deals,
making forward planning also great value.
Don’t forget grooming, and those all important accessories.
A great work wardrobe will be let down by poor grooming. Of course this means a clean and
well-kept appearance at all times, but also don’t forget the power of accessories to finish off your
look. VGO Fashion have a great range of smart yet stylish shoes and co-coordinating and
elegant accessories that really complete a polished office outfit.
Finally, don’t forget fashion!
Dressing for success does mean choosing clothes that show you take your job seriously and
in turn want to be taken seriously in your career, but remember – this is career fashion. There
are no extra points for looking out-of-date or dull, no matter how formal and ‘unfashionable’ your
company or role. Of course you won’t be taken seriously if you look like a fashion victim, and
there are always certain rules that should be adhered to in the workplace (such as not looking
like you should be on the catwalk or in a club!), but you don’t have to sacrifice style. Trust a
fashion store such as VGO Fashion to bring you styles that tick the boxes when it comes to
career wear, while still making you look stylish and fashion-conscious.
