Calgary Fashion and Etiquette Consulting. Your Style Matters & Leadership Matters.

What is style, anyway? Do you believe it means having the perfect body and deep pockets?

Definitely not!! Style has to do with the choices we make regarding clothing, accessories, hair, make-up, etc. It also has to do with our outward behavior, the way we treat people. Image is the message that is conveyed to our audience. Our style choices and the image that is created must be cohesive. If we neglect to understand this, then our lives are stymied as a result, both professionally and personally. The less "road blocks" that occur between ourselves and those we want to communicate with, the more success will be achieved in all facets of our lives. Remember, we only have a matter of seconds to make a good first impression.

By their teen years haven't teenagers "picked up" the rules of etiquette?

In a perfect world, yes they should have the rules learned by this age. However, in the real world their manners may go by the wayside. Parents are often busy and overwhelmed to make sure these lessons are learned. Or parents feel unsure of correct etiquette themselves. It's not enough to hope the teens will practice good manners by osmosis. Technology has made this process more complicated, also. Cell phones often replace meaningful time spent with an actual human friend!! Despite these difficulties, it's worth the effort to help our young people transition into adulthood knowing the importance of treating all people with dignity and respect. The way we treat each other has a powerful impact on our families, communities and ultimately our nation.
