Mowhawk and cufflinks fab. I guess it's like us girlies wearing a moto jacket and pearls x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-129338 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 08:31:22 +0000 RoseandJoan 129338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sound of the contrast of the shirt and cuff links mixed with your edgier pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-129254 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:56:14 +0000 Thomas 129254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your advice! You are right that a dress code limits creativity, so I will just encourage my employees to be creative! What do you think about my outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128490 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:20:20 +0000 Isabel 128490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely agree with everyone else !</p> <p>If you institute a "dress code" to others, then you disallow for "creativity". The others are "creating" you are "imposing". Think about how it will sound if your employee gets a compliment and the response is , " Thanks, it is the company dress code. " That would really put me off.......and make me think that the "creativity" of the company is a hoax.</p> <p>Good Luck !!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128393 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:48:46 +0000 Louise 128393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like you alienate people who don't conform to your dress code. I think going for a creative dress code would work better x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128392 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:46:21 +0000 Kristine 128392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of thinking outside of typical corporate dress, but like others said making a dress code stifles creativity even it involves mohawks. Better to give employees free rein to come up with their own interpretations. Sounds like a fun place to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128381 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:14:35 +0000 Tricia 128381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others - you don't want to dictate too rigid a dress code, but I think you could certainly encouage "creative business casual" or "creative casual."</p> <p>However, if you want to come convince my husband to dress the way you do (except for the mohawk), I'd be all over that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128374 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:30:48 +0000 Dusty 128374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depend on what your business is, too. If we're talking tattoo shop, I think this would be perfect (i.e. "dressy/creative punk"); if we're talking cell phone company or the likes, you may end up alienating and turning off hardworking and talented potential employees if the dress code is too strictly punk, just because you tend to have a greater variety of people who would work in that type of industry, you know? </p> <p>I can see encouraging creativity in dress being a great thing, and very freeing to many people, but dictating one type of dress is kind of taking away the creativity and personality of the individuals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128359 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:31:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 128359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great answer Jenny!</p> <p>I also think you need to consider if your look aids your business, many companies do impose a dress code with the hope of solidifying their brand identity.</p> <p>A hard and fast rule about piercings or hairstyles may be too strict but encouraging creative dress even if it is skewed to a particular aesthetic may be beneficial. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128297 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:53:33 +0000 JennyK (NC) 128297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you truly want your company to reflect creative thinking, I don't think boxing them in by imposing your particular style of creativity on them is a great idea. If someone is uncomfortable with this specific style it won't seem creative on them at all - just miserable.</p> <p>I have two grown sons. One has waist-length hair a face full of piercings and a sort of grunge style. And he's gorgeous. My other son sports a blue mohawk, plaid pants, moto jacket and chains here and there. And he's gorgeous. But they each have their own way of expressing themselves and it would be horrible for either of them to have to fit into the other's mold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-punk#post-128286 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:10:22 +0000 Thomas 128286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am successful entrepreneur, but I am also a rebel and a punk. Therefore, my style combines elegance with elements of punk style.</p> <p>The main elements of my style are:</p> <p>Stylish mohawk haircut<br /> Elegant shirt, often with cufflinks<br /> Nice jacket with a few pins<br /> Studded belt and wristband<br /> Diesel Jeans, usually ripped<br /> STeel toed Doc Martens Boots</p> <p>Since I have received a lot of positive comments on my style, I am also thinking of turning this into my company's dress code, as a trademark for creative thinking.</p> <p>Let me know what you think </p>
