WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING?

Professional clothing is a term used to cover clothing, textiles, accessories and footwear used in a professional manner, to aide the identification of a person or people within a corporate or team environment.

Everyone has a corporate identity, it’s the image you put on for work. And it doesn’t matter if that work is as a professional sports person, a waiter, a petrol pump attendant, a banker or a hairdresser. The PCIAW spans the breadth of the entire supply chain involved in the manufacture and supply to achieve the final look that is associated with so many various professions.
