How do you build up a professional dressing room?

À quel point votre tenue est importante lors de votre entretien d'embauche ? 

Visual appearance accounts for 55% of communication, and most recruiters form an impression of you within the first 20 seconds of an interview. While it's obvious that your skills are what will land you an interview, your style of dress can have a real impact on the impression you make. When it comes to professional strategy, there's one skill that's less talked about than the others: dress strategy.

 

 


In her book "Power dressing", Tatiana Haen writes: "The habit doesn't make the monk, but it does allow you to enter the monastery". That's exactly the idea! Our dressing room can allow us to enter the monastery of our dreams. In her book, the author explains that there is a direct correlation between well-groomed style and professional success. There is even an economic discipline called "Pulchronomics", initiated by Daniel S. Hamermesh, a professor of economics, which demonstrates the correlation between physical presentation and professional success.

 

Tatiana Haen shows that in the United States, looks are used as a real soft skill, whereas in France we have a more traditional vision of skills, and tend to downplay the role of clothing style. Yet the new reality of the working world presents us with an environment in which personality counts for more and more. Recruiters want to work with people who have something special, something unique, who bring more to the table than just skills. And what better way to give an insight into your personality than through your style of dress?

 

Your dressing room is your ally: It's important to understand that you can really use your dressing room to your advantage, by making the most of the range of cuts and colors that exist, to make yourself stand out, to draw charisma and confidence from your clothes. Make your dressing room your ally, by creating a wardrobe that suits you!
