Dressing well in any type of workplace setting, whether it be smart or business casual, can have a significant impact on an individual’s professional image and career advancement.
Not only does it demonstrate respect for the company and colleagues, but it also exudes confidence and competence, which can lead to increased opportunities for growth and success. Additionally, dressing well can also have an impact on one’s personal well-being and self-esteem, making one feel more capable and motivated to tackle the day’s tasks. In today’s competitive job market, it is essential to put forth a polished appearance, and a well-thought-out wardrobe can help individuals stand out and make a lasting impression.
Last January 13, during Sinulog Weekend, global apparel retailer UNIQLO hosted the second leg of their Style Talks Series at Ayala Center Cebu in Cebu City. The event aimed to provide Cebuanos with tips on how to style different UNIQLO workwear pieces to fit any type of workplace setting, from smart to business casual.
The event was hosted by Blinky de Leon, together with celebrity stylist Bea Constantino, as well as content creators Slater Young and Kryz Uy. The speakers highlighted their own work styles and needs, and how they utilize and style their own favorite LifeWear pieces.
“You can always build your outfit by layering, or mixing and matching colored and neutrals,” shared Bea Constantino.
For Slater, styling the perfect outfit for work is all about knowing what personally works for you. “Give attention and care so people you talk to will have confidence on you. Wear what makes you feel comfortable, no matter what others say,” he said.
Our clothes can speak about how we are and we feel empowered when we like what we’re wearing,
