The Ideal Work Uniform: Focus on Accessories
When it comes to work, there’s something so noble in it, that we’re not just in it for the money, climbing up the ladder, and securing wealth for the future, but it’s also about being laborious, feeling useful, and accomplished. There’s the workplace where all the working magic happens, and the uniform that goes with it; wearing the uniform brings with it a certain degree of pride. My focus here is going to be the uniform exactly, or more specifically how to add a touch of stylishness to it.
Wearing the same outfit day in and day out, for hours on end, may not sound that exciting. However, just because it’s a uniform, it doesn’t mean it has to look monotonous, right? The secret to more stylishness is in uniform accessories, and you’d be surprised how big of a role they have as they are the tools that can revitalise, or rather enhance if you will, the work attire and help one convey a positive message; remember, beauty is in the details.
Apart from the various hair and jewellery accessories, you can add a bit of personality in the uniform, customising it with a skinny tie, bow tie, a scarf, a hat (if they’re not already part of it), or a fun and expressive pin.
Another way to further add individuality is through embroidery; it can be anything, from an embroidery patch that’s going to be different for every employee, to having their names embroidered, along with the company’s logo. Things can be spiced up when the embroidery patches vary in their subjects, shapes, sizes, and importance. How can something small be of importance? Well, they can showcase the service, the dedication of the employee, so they can be a sort of a reward when an employee is exceptional – quite the stimulus.
Other types of uniform accessories that can help out are the shoes. Shoes always make a difference because they give out an image, a subtle one but very noticeable, not only about the employee, but the company as a whole as well, so go for something bold, stylish, in different colours, styles, and fabrics, and show how they can provide a certain amount of freedom in the dress code. Put all these suggestions into practice, and you can expect a vibrant uniform.
Of course, it’s needless to say, first and foremost, the uniform has to be tailored to fit the contours of every employee properly, to be able to give out that professional image, and actually make those accessories stand out.
