Designer gives top tips for office uniforms

June 27, 2007

The BBC today reports top tips on work uniforms from corporate clothing company Jermyn Street Design.

Essentially the main considerations are:

Avoid mustard.
Dark uniforms can be scary.

Fabrics that breathe are more comfortable.

Everything should be shaped.

'Smart casual' is very tricky to pull off.

Easyjet uniform

Guru's favourite five work uniforms are:
• Nurse
• Policewoman
• Flight stewardess (except the Easyjet orange fleece - pictured)
• French maid
• Gymnast

Not sure how these stack up against the Jermyn Street Design guidelines; though Guru's never found any of them "tricky to pull off".

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
