Put a New Spring in Your Professional Wardrobe

Spring Is Here!
Ah, smell that? That’s right: spring is in the air. There’s something wonderful about spring that always seems to make us want to make a fresh start. To not only put our best foot forward, but to move forward in a way that’s better than ever before. And what better place to start than your wardrobe? Spring is the perfect time to give your wardrobe a fresh new start!
You Can Do It
After all, you’re surrounded with plenty sources of inspiration. The sweet sounds of Tennessee songbirds drifting upon warm breezes and beautiful, blooming flowers and trees… what could be better? Now, all you have to do is march yourself toward the closet. That fresh, sunny perspective? Take a good, long look. It’s time to get serious, and make some hard choices. You can do it!
Professional Garment Checklist
As you make your assessments about each piece, sort them into totes based upon your verdicts:
  • LAUNDRY
  • DRYCLEAN
  • REPAIR
  • TAILOR
  • DONATIONS
Q: When people see you wearing the very clothes you’re looking at, what kind of impression do they make? Is each garment:
  1. Well-fitted
  • If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t matter. Separate anything you can’t currently wear from your professional wardrobe.
  1. Well tailored
  • If it fits but is not properly tailored, make a quick assessment as to whether or not it can be adjusted. Jacket sleeves can be shortened, skirt hems can be altered, etc.
  1. In good condition
  • Is the garment clean and without need of repairs? If it is soiled or damaged, is it likely to be successfully cleaned or repaired?
  1. Stylish
  • Is the garment in a current style, or is it outdated?
  1. Comfortable
  • How effective can you truly be in uncomfortable clothes?
  1. You!
  • Does it reflect your unique personality, and communicate what you wish to project professionally?
  1. Appropriate
  • Garments that are particularly provocative or juvenile looking are not appropriate for work and need to be separated from the professional wardrobe.

Denim Jeans: To Clean or Not to Clean

We Love Our Jeans!
Lately the debate over the best way to care for your favorite denim blue jeans has been raging! Who knew?  But one thing is for sure: we as Americans still harbor a deep love for our blue jeans. Clearly, this is a passion that extends to preferred cleaning methods.

NEVER Wash?
Strong fuel for the furor emerged when popular clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger announced that he NEVER washes his jeans. As in, not ever. Interestingly, there seems to have been some momentum behind this puritanical choice. It’s true, there are several excellent, well known reasons to avoid washing your jeans. Shrinkage and fading from are at the top of the list. And then there’s the delicate detailing featured by many manufacturers today that may be damaged by traditional washing and drying methods.

Odor-Causing Bacteria
Still, with continual wearings, clothing loses its fresh smell and appearance. It can often take on something of a foul odor caused by bacteria that settles into the fibers. For most of people, this is not an option. That’s why many people choose to have their denim jeans professionally dry cleaned. If you want to keep those favorite jeans in the best shape, and in your life, for as long as possible, dry cleaning is the way to go!
