Starting a Clothing Line – What Was I Thinking?

February 27, 2020October 14, 2020 - by Irene Williams

About 5 years ago I was feeling more than a little restless. I was 6 years out of college and had been in the same job for all of those. I enjoyed what I was doing, but I felt I wasn’t truly pursuing what I was passionate about. Two things were nagging at me in the back of my mind; I wanted to start my own business, and I wanted it to be fashion related.

However, there is one thing all of these companies also have in common, and it is not their ad campaigns. They all dress for success and use corporate clothing to their advantage.

Corporate Clothing and Big Name Companies

It may be surprising to think that the same kind of clothing your small company uses has affected such big-name corporations in such a strong way, but consider this: Would any of those firms be taken pretty as seriously if their prime executives walked into a meeting wearing outdated or ill-fitting attire? The truth is, impressions are a key to success. If clients and customers “see” your company as successful, they are more likely to develop trust. It’s part of business psychology and it works.
