your behaviour

• Speaks clearly
First impressions are
lasting impressions
,A good first impression shows:
• Confidence
• A readiness to learn
• A readiness to do good work
Don’t worry about fitting in, you
need to feel comfortable &
confident in what you wear
,Avoid sending incorrect messages or values, as this could lead to:
Physical, verbal/non-verbal conduct in the form of:
• Unwelcome innuendo = sex related jokes/comments
• Unwelcome gestures = certain movements/indecent exposure
• Unwelcome physical contact = touching & feeling
, Factors affecting the choice of garments for a
working wardrobe
• Type of business – formal (lawyer) or informal (coach)
• Type of job – activities you do in a day
• Weather conditions, climate & season e.g. outdoor?
Need protection from the sun?
• Budget – How much can you spend on clothing?
Always start with the basics
• Figure type & body shape – A-shape, hour-glass
• Applying knowledge of the design principles &
elements to your advantage
• Personality – but always keep the dress code in mind
• Values – stick to them and don’t be influenced
