What to Wear as a Professional Organizer / Personal Concierge

When you are starting out as a professional organizer / personal concierge deciding how to present yourself and what to wear can always be challenging. Different companies do it different ways. Personally, at Eco Modern Concierge we do it several different ways and it all depends on what is going on for the day. You always need to plan ahead and figure out everything that you know your day will consist of. Like you may be organizing all day and then need to transition your outfit for a networking event in the evening. 

For organizing: almost all organizers wear workout pants and t-shirts that you can easily move around in. Whether this is branded t-shirts, an apron you wear with your logo on it or name tags that have your company info on it. Some organizers do wear jeans and other "regular" clothes, but the most important thing to thing about is movability and comfortability.  Most organizers wear tennis shoes because they are on their feet most of the day. If you are

Things to think about when organizing for clients and deciding on what to wear is:

•  Can you move around easily in what you are wearing?
• Are you clothing choices appropriate to wear in front of clients? Make sure your midriff is not showing, that your clothes are not so tight wear you can see EVERYTHING, there are no holes, major staines, etc., that the clothes are clean and not too wrinkly, etc. 
• Are they comfortable?
• Is is too load or distracting, where the client will not be able to get anything done because they can't stop staring?
• If you are working when it is hot out and you are wearing shorts, skorts, or skirts, make sure they are not too short, too tight or inappropriately showing your behind.
• Does the item wash well and can be worn on a regular basis?
• Does the item have pockets? 
• Will you logo your item? 
• You will more than likely get dirty on some type of project, are you going to be upset if that item gets ruined?
• Think of about your working conditions, will you be too hot or too cold? In Houston this is a factor because it can be so hot and humid May - November and because so many people blast the ac 
• Will you want to dress in layers? 
• Do you have comfortable shoes? 
• Will you wear compression socks or regular socks.

As a personal concierge services we have wear the same as for organizing, but we try to be a little more presentable and wear "regular" clothes as we are not always getting as dirty with personal concierge services as we are with the personal organizing side of things. We sometimes try to wear transitional items items if we know we are not going to get dirty that can go from one project to another. We often where jeans and t-shirts. If we are working events at night we try to dress nicer or according to what the event is. 

If we have to change and we are not near our houses, we often go to the gym because it's easy to change there and they have showers if need be. 

As a personal concierge and professional organizer it is always necessary to have good hygiene.
