A Modern Take on Classic Fashion
Q: Jessica London has always been a brand known as the perfect source for fashion that works...literally. How has workplace fashion changed?
A: Women have changed how they dress for work and Jessica London has changed to reflect that. Before, if you worked in a bank, you needed to look like a 'banker'. Now, it's more about looking professional, but with a little personal style, like separates and suits with a twist. And accessories that once seemed frivolous now seem fun. It's about lightening up the look. Most important, dress for the job you want...it really does make a difference.
Q: If you're changing jobs, how do you know what to wear to the interview?
A: Interviews are nerve-racking enough without feeling like you didn't dress correctly. Visit the company before the interview to watch people going in and out or just call the receptionist and ask her...you'll be amazed at how much information you will get. Try to fit in, but make sure you add a personal touch so you don't look cookie-cutter. Accessories and shoes are a great way for a subtle personal statement... if you pay attention to your whole look, you're saying you'll be just as thorough in the job.
Q: What should women buy to look fresh this season?
A: The easiest way to update a wardrobe is by adding the color of the season. This spring, orange and neutrals will be everywhere. If you have a brown suit, wear it with an orange tank top and chunky necklace, and it will look fresh and new. Or take last year's navy blazer, wear it with khaki pants and a white ruffled shirt, and you will look terrific.
