Grooming Course

Today I attended a grooming course organized by my work place. It's one of the topics included for this 3 1/2 - day course. The speaker was from Kit Casa. She's the owner. Let me jot down the things that I learned today. If I don't do this I would never remember anything tommorrow.

Man's work attire

• The belt and the shoes much match. Black belt goes with black shoes
• Your tie must not go beyond the buckle of your belt
• The more holes for the shoelace means the more you're concerned about how you look
• Your tie must not macth you shirt. At best the two should contrast each other
• The best is to buy silk ties
• You must not fold the sleeves if you're wearing long sleeves
• Do not put anything in your shirt's pocket, it's not meant to be a usable pocket
• Do not put everything in your pants pockets until huge bulges appear
• The end of your pants should only have one fold. Meaning it must not be too long that you can see severals folds
• Never wear a tie pin

Woman's work attire:

• Limit yourself to only five accessories : ring, necklace, earrings, bangles and watch.
• Your whole attire must not have too many colours, 4 should be the max
• Handbag for work should be those which are structured, those than can stand on its own. Not those that flops down when you put them on the table
• The best is to wear leather shoes, not to high 1.5 - 2.

Your posture must be straight. There should be a straight line running from your ear, through your BCG scar and down .

That's all I could remember.

However, I was not impressed with how the speaker was dressed. She wore a suit which looked like it was made from a cheap, flimsy, nylon material. It doesn't look tailored made because it didn't fit her well, instead it look like something you buy from Mydin. Her hair looked like she was about to do housework.
