Learning how to dress appropriately for all occasions continues to be an important part of what we do! I hear so many frustrating stories from adults about young professionals not wearing business-appropriate attire, so now is a great time to start laying the groundwork for our students.

 

Parents, thank you for helping guide your student in their choices!

IMPORTANT:  Students, if you have a question about what you are planning to wear and whether or not it is appropriate, please feel free to text me a picture ASAP and I will help guide you!  Please do not wait until the day of the event!

​

Dressing for outings and events is definitely more casual today. In our program, we’re teaching the importance and appropriateness of time and place. Whether you’re attending a Theater outing at a high school event or at Carnegie Hall, we want the students to feel comfortable in their choice and to be able to walk into the environment feeling confident. 

​

A nice business casual outfit shows that you’re taking the outing seriously and respecting the event. It’s a way of showing appreciation for the venue and the experience and that you’re ready to enjoy a special experience!​

​

NO Jeans, Athletic or Athleisure Wear:  
Examples are joggers, leggings, sneakers, etc. - even if they’re name brand!!!

JEANS are not considered ‘business casual. They can sometimes be worn on "Casual Friday" if a company dress code allows. Caveat: some industries do allow jeans on a regular basis, this is a situation where you need to KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE and dress accordingly for the workday or event you are attending!

​

For the ladies:  
Structured Pantsuits are OK, Short rompers are NOT.

If your top or dress is sleeveless, always make sure to wear a light sweater or jacket.
