Goodpresentation

The way in which every MFG team member dresses and presents themselves contributes to our culture and reputation.

While the dress code for each Image differs slightly, general standards of personal presentation apply across all store teams.

What then does good personal presentation look like?

Appropriate

Your appearance should always reflect professionalism on the job.

Good grooming and appropriate dress reflects team member pride and inspires customer confidence in the organisation we represent.

Hair, Makeup and Nails

Hair should be worn in a neat and tidy fashion and should be of a discrete and professional colour and style. Nails should be groomed in a neat condition. Where nail polish is worn, it should be maintained accordingly.

Jewellery and Accessories

Jewellery and accessories should be discrete and professional, with limited body piercings.

Hats and Head Coverings

Hats are not appropriate to wear in stores. Head covers that are required for religious purposes are permitted.

Clothing

Clothing should be at an appropriate length (not too short) and fit (not too tight) to allow the role to be performed comfortably and without restriction.

General

All clothing should be kept in good repair and be neatly pressed. Broken clothing and shoes or those in disrepair should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Inappropriate

While no standard can cover all possibilities, the following list will assist to provide solid examples as to what is inappropriate for work. You’re still required to exercise your best judgement when deeming if your attire fits Company and role requirements. If you’re unsure of what is appropriate you must check with your manager in advance.

As a general rule the following are deemed inappropriate:

  • Ripped or torn denim.
  • Clothing printed with obvious logos or wording other than our own brands.
  • Clothing printed with any offensive images or wording.
  • Shorts, skirts, dresses or other items that reveal the top of the thigh.
  • Sporting clothes including sneakers, tracksuits and windcheaters.
  • Leggings or active wear.
  • Overly fitted or revealing tops, including singlets, tank tops, tops revealing the midriff, chest, back or shoulders, etc.

Team members who do not meet a professional standard may be sent home to change.

Your shoes matter

Naturally, we’d love to see you wearing our product, however, irrespective of the brand you choose, your footwear must be comfortable and appropriate to your role. Remember you’ll be climbing, moving with pace and standing on your feet for extended periods of time. Slips, trips and falls are often associated with the footwear worn.

Make sure your shoes:

  • Are clean and in good condition.
  • Are firmly fastened to the foot, including ankle support, i.e. no mules.
  • Have no greater than a 5cm heel, i.e. no platforms or stilettos.
