Dress Sharp

                                                           

A man’s personality is described by the clothes he wears and the way he carries himself. Too many young men are starting their professional life without a clue on how to dress. This needs to change; young men are the future leaders of society and dressing professionally is the first step towards becoming a true professional.

Although clothing does not make the man – the right clothing can give him precious seconds to make his case and influence others. It’s important to note that it is worth paying some attention to young man even if you’re working in a field without strict dress code. Crisp, clean, and fitted clothing wherever you are in the world encourages others to take you more seriously.

Here are some of the points that you guys should remember to dress sharp.

1.       Starting from the ground up, appropriate fitting footwear is the first step to dressing sharp.  If you have never owned really good shoes before, brace yourself and get ready to pay sufficient amount for well-made classical footwear. 

2.       The way you are dressed is the way you are perceived. If you are still wearing clothes that scream “student days” you’re going to be treated like a boy with no experience in the real world. Buck the trend, age your look a little, and get the respect you deserve from older men.

3.       No matter what your job is, you’re going to need a decent suit at some point. If you’re in a field where you’re going to wear one regularly, you should look for a variety of colors and styles; if you just need a single suit for infrequent dress occasions stick with the classic single-breasted , two buttoned suit in charcoal grey or navy-blue.

4.       White and light blue cotton dress shirt are the backbone to a sharp wardrobe. Much of this lies in the fact both of these colors make up approximately 90% of the dress shirts sold worldwide and that either color looks good on most complexions and body types.

5.       Jeans styles are always changing:  rips, tears, acid and bleach washing, distressed, stone washed, boot cut, wide leg, low leg, and skinny, baggy. Keep it simple and stick to fitted jeans in a dark color.

6.       Wearing T-shirts to the gym or when you are performing house chores is fine. But wearing T-shirts to social events or to work is a no-no. A good polo in a simple dark color is always presentable and always flattered if it’s fitted well. You can also opt for buttoned short-sleeved shirt in the summer. If you do wear a T-shirt, make sure it’s new, clean, close-fitted and in a solid, dark color.

Those are some of the important points to differentiate you from a next door boy!
