Hello! This time, we four new employees who joined the company in spring 2025 would like to introduce the “grooming training” that was held the other day.
This training was taught by Ms. Moriuchi of Brilliant Impression.
Classroom
In the classroom, we learned about the basics of clothing (suits and office casual) and how to look clean. In the basics of clothing, we learned the importance of dressing appropriately for the time, place, and occasion, such as color combinations, size, and choosing materials according to the season. In the clean appearance, we realized the importance of being aware that “every little detail is being looked at,” including hairstyle, nail length, and shoe care.
Before starting work as a member of society, it was a valuable opportunity to learn “how to improve my impression” and “what points to pay attention to.”
Fabric Selection
After the classroom, we all went to “KASHIYAMA Melsa Sakae Store” to make custom suits.
While checking the texture and design of the fabrics on site, we chose the ones that best suited us one by one. Not only the fabric, but also the silhouette of the jacket, the type and number of buttons, and other details can be customized, and there were times when we were troubled by the large number of options. At that time, we were able to make a decision while referring to advice from Mr. Moriuchi and the knowledge we gained in the classroom.
Everyone successfully completed the order, and all that was left was to wait for the suit to be completed!
Fitting
A few weeks after choosing the fabric, buttons, and lining, the suit was completed and six of us, including us, went for a fitting. When we saw the finished suits of everyone, we were surprised that “the same suit can be so different.” Some people had plain dark blue, some had navy blue stripes, and some had changed the buttons to buffalo and played around with the color of the lining, and each person’s personality could be felt from the suit, and it felt like there were “six correct answers.” It was a good experience that gave us a chance to think a little about our own style through choosing a suit. It was fun to see the finished custom-made suit, and we discovered that it was a suit we chose ourselves, so it was motivating.
And here are our before and after photos!
Summary
Through this training, we were able to once again recognize the importance of first impressions for working adults.
I learned that small daily considerations like clothing, hairstyle, and shoe care are directly connected to trust and cleanliness, and I became more conscious of my appearance.
The practical experience of making a custom suit also provided me with a valuable opportunity to think about my own style. Each completed suit clearly reflected my individuality, and I realized that there is no single right answer.
I would like to use this experience to become more aware of my responsibilities as a working member of society and approach my future work with a positive attitude.
Thank you for reading this far!
Please look forward to the next blog!
