On the other hand, the more creative your industry is, the more colour options you have. If you are an artist, you may wear just about any colour. For professional designers and consultants, however, you may wear pops of colours but in strategic places, for example, in your tops, in the small details of a suit, or in acces
Many small business owners today act like lemmings following each other into a sea of choices when it comes to advertising only to drown in the murky waters of minimal return. Do you believe if the world's best artist painted a copy of the Mona Lisa that it would create a buzz? Not really....It would always be just another copy. So why do so many businesses (and agencies) fall into the same "copycat trap" with their traditional ad campaigns of newspaper-yellow page-radio spot-bottom line-end of story- strategies and then complain about the result
Whether you agree with it or not, people judge others by how they look. Therefore, personal image may be used to create trust at first sight. So it must be well thought out with much care.
I have given image seminars where I see people in conservative industries such as finance wearing tops revealing their cleavage, even though they are in a suit. I have seen a career coach wearing an outfit that is more suitable for an artist. Their images are not congruent with their professions.
Your image is not just about you. It’s about how people relate to the image. Your personal image is comprised not only of dressing and grooming, but also your body language and words. That being said, people do judge others based on how they groom and dress.
So how can we all make the best use of clothing and grooming for the good of our businesses?
First, consider the message of colours. The more conservative or formal your industry is, the more neutral the colour of your outfit should be. Neutral colours are black, grey, white, beige, and brown. Blue is also considered a “neutral” colour in this sense, because it conveys trust. Banking, law, accounting, and insurance belong to this category of conservative.

Just recently I went to order some business cards. I had no idea as to what I wanted I just knew that I had to have some. I was absolutely staggered as to the array of samples that I saw. I was still thinking of a plain card with my details on it. When I started looking it was a case of the more I see the harder it got, there were photographic cards, cards printed full colour on both sides, CD cards, embossed cards, laser cards with holograms and a multitude of different ideas.Fortunately I stumbled on a company that really held my hand, t

Loudly watching the intense activity at a modern trucking terminal and distribution center with all the material handling equipment moving in one direction one has to wonder how they do it all without any accidents. Whether you are involved in modern day American material handling or using Canada handling material pneumatic equipment to briskly move freight on stacked pallets, you know about the vibrational energy all around.The noise, bumps and vibration of conveyor belts, forklifts and material handling equipment is everywhere. I propose

For professional designers and consultants, however, you may wear pops of colours but in strategic places, for example, in your tops, in the small details of a suit, or in accessories such as glasses.
Second, consider the style of your outfit. The more conservative or formal the occasion is, the more formal the outfit should be. In a formal industry where you meet your customers in the office, a conservatively styled suit is most appropriate. This means suit jacket that covers the buttocks. Suit skirts at knee level. Suit pants are straight legged, not outrageously flared at the bottom. Professional designers and consultants are between conservative and creative, so pick a suit that is of a trendier cut – suit jackets may have more details and colours, They could be above the buttocks, or longer. The suit pants may also have details and textures. For the creative ones, a suit is not necessary in most days. However, T-shirt and flip flops are mostly unacceptable, unless you are going to the beach! Do put in some effort to convey professionally what you do.
Third, let’s look at grooming. For conservative industries, keep your hair and make up neat and neutral. It doesn’t mean not to style the hair or not putting on make up. Hairstyle should be chic and sleek (if your hair can handle it). Nothing outrageous. A chic bob, for example, is a good option. Do remember putting on make up, however, but leave out the sparkles and bold colours. People need to see you, not focused on the extremities of your dressing and grooming. For those who are in between conservative and creative, you may have slightly more outrageous hairdos – just don’t dye it in
