Impact of fashion on your career ( different dresscode for different occasion).

Alot of people might be in the state of confusion and disagreement with me on this but let’s talk about it.

It is no secret that how you dress can leave a long lasting impression on your peers. Showing up at a job interview with stained and wrinkled cloth certainly won’t give a good first impression on your employer, having in mind something as tiny as dressing can either get you the job or disqualify you.

Research shows that your dresscode can either give a negative or positive impact on your dream job or career. It can also impact on how others perceive you and how you perceive yourself. Trust me your confidence level can be shown on how you dress up. The word dressing is an act of knowing to carry one-self during various occasion we partake in. Which involves paying respect to yourself, occasion involved and people around.

Most times people wonder, why one cant wear a pair of Jean, T-shirt and Slippers for an interview with the mindset that they are going just sit through out the question sessions doesn’t it really matter.

According to “Merriam Webster, Dressing is a prevailing style during a particular time that is there are different styles/clothing for different occasion and all you need is to identify and distinguish them. It may be too difficult with so many outfit available even when dresscode is given but always have in mind that every occasion has a particular style and dresscode that suit it.

It is very necessary to understand the different dresscode for different occasion to avoid getting confused. Here are few dresscode for different occasion;

Formal Office wear: No matter what do not joke with this. It includes what you wear to a typical cooperate environment either for meeting or interview. Always know that when it comes to office or formal places everything has to be in moderation.

For ladies suits are very perfect but if not available pants, shirt, skirt, modest tops and flat pair shoes or moderate heels will be nice.

For the men suit or pair of plain shirt buttons up with your tie and pair of shoes will be perfect.

Causual wear: These are outfit for informal meetings and activities like cinema , mall and club. Some perfect dresscode include ripped jean, jumpsuit etc.

Business casual: This is a less formal business wear on off shoot of the formal office wear. Some outfit for this wearing suit with sneakers.

Native wear: Made from African print though most people wear it as formal office wear with heels the fact remains it really has it own occasion to be worn.

Smart causual: These include Jean’s, palazoo, bright colored shirt. One of the significant difference between it and business casual is its liberal style which involves accessorizing and mixing colors unlike business casual.

Active wear: These are otherwise known as sports wear. It is just for physical exercise and sport activities but most people convert it to their causual wear. Example cap, track suit, joggers e.t.c.

It is important to note that dresscode/fashion can change from causual to business by the way you accessorize, rock your shoes, this means the look you pull can be dependent not only on clothes but shoes and accessories. I hope this can serve as a guideline so anytime you get confuse do not forget to consult your guide.
