Have
you heard of an image consultant before today? An image consultant or
fashion consultant is someone who can give you advice how to find the best
fashion styles and colours for you.
While
it can be relatively easy for you to learn about fashion trends on your
own, it is more difficult to be objective about your own appearance -
sometimes you just want some professional advice. So why would someone seek
the services of an image consultant?
A
great time to see an image consultant is when you are looking to get a new
job or have recently been hired for one. Starting a new job or even just
interviewing for one is a very stressful time. In today's fast-paced world
first impressions count, and your competence, intelligence and reliability
is judged within seconds.
Did
you know that your visual appearance accounts for more than half the
impression you give other people? This means that knowing how to manage
your personal presentation so that you are quickly seen as effective and
confident is as critical as any business skill on a resume.
Unfortunately,
workplace fashion can be tricky, as different businesses have different
needs. For instance, if you were to work in a clothing store there is a
good chance that you would want to dress in the latest trendy clothing
(probably from the store where you work), but if you worked in a law
office, professional attire is a must.
These
days though, it is not just business attire you need to worry about, but
also business casual. Many workplaces now have 'casual Friday' where
employees can dress down a little. While this can be a lot of fun, it can
also be a minefield. Unless there is a specified theme, you are left on
your own as to what you should wear. Every workplace will be different but
you still need to keep in mind the type of business you work for and the
standards that are generally accepted there.
Professional
image consultants know how to help you dress for success, and also how to
use body language, business etiquette and colour to your advantage. So if
you're interested in revamping your appearance for a new job or even just
an interview, you may want to think about using the services of an image
consultant.
Weddings
are another occasion when many people seek professional assistance, and if
they don't, they should! Unfortunately, many do not realize that an image
consultant can help with planning of a wedding. A qualified image
consultant can not only help you find the perfect wedding dress to fit you
and your body type, but they can also help you choose the perfect dresses
for your bridesmaids.
Another
reason to see an image consultant is simplythat you are tired of going
shopping without having a clue what you're looking for or what really suits
you. Did you know that the average woman wastes over $4000 on clothes every
few years? A image consultation will put an end to this once and for all.
As
you can see, there are a number of reasons why you may want to turn to a
professional image consultant. A qualified consultant will be able to show
you exactly which colours and styles of clothing and accessories best suit
you and how to dress for success, whatever the occasion and no matter what
size, age or shape you are.
