Today was another great day in Brockton Mass. Brockton High and Tuxedos By Merian partnered for the 8th annual Dress For Success Day and from what I witnessed atleast 40% of the school participated by dressing up in professional clothing. The 30 students wearing our tuxedos acted as our ambassadores of the day spreading the message that dressing up is not only fun but necessary when entering the professional world. It was a great site to see and I believe the students were wonderful examples. Thank you to all and we hope to see you for prom

Brockton High Students to Dress for Success Friday March 23
Brockton High
School students to ‘dress for success’ Friday

As a freshman,
Andreia Gibau joined the Dress for Success day at Brockton High School. Two
years later, she says what she learned that day still influences how she
presents herself.
“It really gave
me a better outlook on how to dress professionally and about making good
impressions,” said Gibau, now 16 and a junior. “It changed my style a bit, and
I look a little more professional everywhere I go.”
Friday is the
eighth annual Dress for Success day, started by John Merian, owner of Tuxedos
by Merian.
This year, the
downtown formal wear shop will outfit about 25 kids in tuxes, including Gibau,
at no cost.
Those students in
return have been encouraging their classmates to don business attire for the
day – something suitable for a job interview.
“I’m trying to
get the message across about the importance of dressing up, about how to
behave, what is good behavior when you’re interviewing (for a job) and how to
interview,” Merian said.
That’s a message
that school teachers and administrators have embraced, said Principal Susan
Szachowicz.
“As a principal
who’s tired of telling people to pull up their pants, I love it,” Szachowicz
said.
“This focuses on
dress, but it’s about presentation, body language, shaking hands in a correct
way, looking someone in the eye,” she said. “It’s about people’s impressions of
you.”
