Dress for Success Winnipeg

Workshops for Women Fall 2021

Dress For Success Winnipeg would like to invite you to our upcoming online panel presentation:

DRESSING AND DIVERSITY: A LOOK AT MODERN WORKING WARDROBES

Join us on Thursday, November 25, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm CST, this event is FREE TO ATTEND!

Here at Dress for Success Winnipeg, we know that there is no "one size fits all" style advice. For this presentation, we have recruited a group of panelists who can answer some of the questions that others sometimes find difficult:

I am a woman in my 50's, how do I decide what clothing is age appropriate?

When interviewing for a job in construction, what should I wear to be taken seriously? 

Any style tips for women who wear a hijab?

As a trans woman, should I try to reduce attention to my shoulders?

Do I look "more professional" with straightened hair?

Join Dress for Success Winnipeg for an exciting FREE presentation for women. Our panelists will share ideas to help you authentically express your best self.

This workshop is for women who are looking for work, helping others find a job, or just interested in the discussion.
