If I work in a clothing store, do you have to wear their clothes?

Question

How will I afford clothes from Buckle? I don't really have a huge amount of clothes.

Answer 1

I've worked at a couple of retail places :

GAP - (yes, you have to wear their clothes)

Hot Topic - (not mandatory, but you have to project the "image" of the store)

Dillards - Professional attire only.

If you decide to work at Buckle, you will most likely be told you have to wear a similar "style" of clothing - one that reflects the company image. This is mostly due to marketing.

The plus side of it all is every retail place I have worked offers a 20-50% discount on clothing items purchased at their store.

Good luck - and remember - if you're trying to save money from your job, but are required to wear their clothing line, try to pick items that are versitle enough to transfer to other places (no logos).

Good luck.

Answer 2

Some stores will require a certain look that resembles a school dress code; any color khakis with a blue polo.

Brand-concious stores, like Gap and Abercrombie require you wear their clothes. Different states have different laws about this. Some put limits on the amount it can require employees to buy. Some force their employees to pay for it all out of their own pockets. Almost all of the stores that require you wear their clothes, however, regardless of state law, will give employee discounts on the clothes.

Answer 3

Generally they prefer if you do. Wear something of theirs to the interview and on your first day- after that you should dress in a similar style to the clothing they sell so it at least looks as though the clothes you are wearing could come from the store. Often if you work in retail they will give you a large discount so that you can buy their clothes.

Answer 4

Some stores yes. I was offered a job a long time ago. The store sold clothes in India wear. And the owers told me i whould have to wear their clothing while on the job. I did not have to buy them though. They offered. But i turned the job down. To hot in those clothes.
Take care.

Answer 5

Most of the time, it would be better to wear your own clothes instead of company. Sometimes you might want to wear the company's clothes to advertise their clothing. That's how you make better business. I would suggest to buy just two or three shirts from there and wear them every other day, than wear your own clothes that you got from somewear else. Just make sure it's not wording clothes where the buyer wants to buy that type of shirt from that other store instead of the one you're working at.

Answer 6

IF you get the job at the Buckle, ask them during the interview if you'll have to wear only their clothes.
My daughter worked at American Eagle, and she wasn't required to wear only their clothes. But, she couldn't wear clothes from competitors with their logo visible.
Ask them.

Answer 7

At any keep, for any pastime, you ought to look professional and extremely conservative. The interview dress is to illustrate that you're taking the pastime and a minimum of the interview heavily. in case you went to a job interview decked out in Abercrombie turn flops and a t-blouse, I doubt you'd be taken more beneficial heavily than someone wearing something like this: for adult men, blouse & tie, slacks; for the girls: slacks or knee length skirt, close-toed shoes and minimum cleavage/midriff button-down blouse. Taking the time to look professional provides the impact that you're professional and performance adulthood. The resume proves you ought to do the pastime.

Answer 8

When I worked at Hollister they had us wear their clothes. I guess it depends on the store.

Answer 9

In general they are impressed if you do, but very few places require it. Ask for a clothing requirement from their management.

Answer 10
