First impressions - What your clothing says about you1:58
Discover how clothing, grooming, and appearance shape first impressions and professional perception, and how image consulting is not one size fits all.
Poor clothing choices2:22

Description

First impressions are formed in less than one minute, and everyone makes assumptions based on what they see. Without saying anything, your clothes are already communicating a message. What you wear tells the story of who you are. Managing your image to create a powerful first impression is key to success in your personal, professional and social life.

This course will walk you through learning about your body and how to dress it. We will look at defining your body shape, your optimal colors, and integrating your own personality style into your clothing. We will also discuss modifying your clothing to hide or disguise certain areas of your body you may not like as much. This course will also teach you how to shop for the correct clothing for your body and your personality and will teach you how to go through your current wardrobe and get rid of items that aren’t working. In a nut shell; this course is designed to teach you how to become your own personal stylist.
