What to Wear for a Job Interview

An interview for a job you would like can be a nerve-wracking experience. There is an array of advice on how you should prepare for interviews and the best way to behave in the interview itself. However, preparation is key and few would argue that being dressed appropriately is a key starting point. There is an old adage that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have and this continues to be sage advice. It is difficult to overdress for an interview. We would suggest...

Funeral Ties

Although it is an occasion most people would prefer to avoid altogether if possible, attending a funeral is a time when it is important to dress appropriately. Funerals often happen with very little notice and for those close to the deceased there are countless matters which need to be dealt with in a short space of time.

Turning to politics, we have been able to cater for both Brexiteers and Europhiles. Union Jack and EU Flag ties and cufflinks are amongst... Read More
