LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 12, 2021) — The University of Kentucky Stuckert Career Center, housed in the Office for Student Success, in partnership with Macy’s, is hosting the Wildcat Style Event, giving students and alumni the opportunity to receive discounted prices on professional attire.

All UK students, alumni, employees and parents and families are welcome to attend the event at Macy’s in the Fayette Mall from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.

UK community members and families will have the opportunity to receive up to 20% off on professional attire (ie. suits, shoes, briefcases/purses, accessories and much more) and grooming/beauty products for both men and women of select Macy's merchandise. 

“We understand that building a professional wardrobe can be expensive and somewhat difficult to manage on a student or a household budget,” said Ray Clere, director of the Stuckert Career Center. “The Wildcat Style event is intended to provide an opportunity for students, alumni, employees and their families to find professional attire and accessories at a discounted cost.”

To register for the event, you must complete this form

Once you have registered for the event, you will receive an email with event details and the discount information to use in-person when you checkout with your items.   

The Career Center will send reminder emails on Friday, Sept. 16. In the email, you will also receive the Career Center’s Wildcat Style Guide, which is a detailed guide on business professional and casual styles, tips for men, women and gender neutral individuals, measurement and fitting guidelines and upcoming campus events.
