The Glion Style Guide: personifying contemporary luxury
At Glion, we believe that contemporary luxury offers a more modern, less demonstrative expression of refinement. The way we dress is not only a reflection of our personal identity, but also of the values that define the Glion Spirit, and the changing expectations of a luxury world that’s less preoccupied with traditional formality.
This guide outlines the dress and grooming expectations for all members of the Glion community — students, staff, and faculty. It encourages each individual to embody a refined and contemporary sense of style, aligned with our values of openness, distinction, and service.

Why a Style Guide?
In hospitality, luxury, and throughout the experience economy, first impressions are everything. Think of our Style Guide as an invitation, not a restriction. We invite you to express your individuality with elegance and coherence, and to align your appearance with the professional environment we share, and which awaits you after graduation.
For Glion, contemporary style is about:
Cultural identity: understated elegance, quiet confidence, and professional posture
Consistency: between how we look, how we behave, and the values we uphold
Inclusivity: respect for cultural, religious, and personal styles, within a shared code of refinement
How does ‘Contemporary Luxury’ translate to our dress style?

The Glion Standard – self check
Ask yourself:
Am I respecting the standards of professionalism and refinement, together with the essence of contemporary luxury?
Is this how I would dress for my dream job interview?
Am I setting a good example for others?
If the answer is yes to all three, you're Glion-ready.

At Glion, each detail counts. We invite everyone in our community to embody our values through a modern, elegant, and intentional image — one that reflects both who we are, and the world of contemporary luxury we prepare to lead.
