If you work
in the city and particularly if you’re employed by a large corporate company
then you probably wear a suit to work every day. You might find that everybody around
you looks the same and you would love to stand out from the crowd but you can’t
because of rules regarding uniform. Well you may have to wear a suit but we’ve
come up with a few little tips on how to let your personality shine through:
Accessories
A pair of
cufflinks bearing the brand of your football team, a silly picture, or a logo
of a club that you belong to are a small way to display your individuality.
Many men choose not to wear a tie now so wearing one at all might make you
stand out and your tie can add some flamboyant colour to an otherwise drab suit.
The Shoes
Okay you can’t
turn up in a pair of trainers but the rules on shoes are pretty general. Most
men at work will wear the same boring long, black lace-ups. These are seen as
standard work shoes but men’s loafers
are still quite smart so you can fit the expected uniform but without being the
same as everybody else. A step further is men’s
boat shoes which are more casual and can be easily slipped off under the
desk when nobody’s looking.
Socks
Quirky socks
have always been a cheeky little way to show a bit of personality. A small
Stewie Griffin on the side of your ankle might spark up a conversation or just
a pair of bright orange socks peaking out between your black shoes and trousers
hints at a little bit of eccentricity.
Stationery / Mug
If you have
your own space within an office you can personalise it to suit you. Some people
have the classic Cliff Richard calendar as a little gag but anything that you find
amusing will add your personality to the desk.
Haircut
If you are
truly determined to stand out then a strange haircut would do the trick but on
the whole I would probably stay away from this one.
