They say you should not judge a book by its cover, and that is good advice. But that does not stop people from doing the same thing every day. Whether you like it or not, the way you present yourself will at all times have a large impact on how you are seen by others. This applies to your professional life, your social life, not to mention your love life. If you want to get ahead, then you must look the part, it is just a fact of life. Luckily, having the ability to present yourself in a way that commands proper respect is not as hard as many people think it’s. In fact, there are some easy things you can do to make sure that you will at all times make the best impression. Here are some easy tips to help you dress for fulfillment.
Learn what fits
One of the biggest problems that many men have is that they do not know how to dress them should match. They end up with items that are too big or too small without really knowing what to look for. The most horrible version of this is sort of at all times in a men’s suit. A well-fitting suit can make a man seem to be in total control of his life, as if he knows precisely what he is doing. However, an ill-fitting suit can make any man look like a child trying on his father’s clothes. Nothing compares to a perfectly tailor-made suit, but not everybody can afford that kind of luxury. Make sure the suits fit comfortably and are not stretching or bunching anywhere; that the shoulder pads aren’t off the outside of your body; and at all times have half an inch of your sleeve showing at all times. These three things will help you ensure your suit fits.
Beard, or no beard
That’s the question! There is quite a lot of debate about whether men look good with a beard or not, but in reality it depends on the individual. Not every man can appear as rugged as others. Some just look better when they’re clean-shaven. The key, be honest with yourself. Look in the mirror and ask “does this really look good?” Chances are if you do not then you will find out pretty quickly. If that is the case, then the smartest thing you can do is invest in a high-quality razor with a clean-shaven look. Hey, if that’s good enough for Bond.
Confidence
It does not matter what your style is, if you do not appear confident, it will not make a difference at all. If you spend all of your time hunched over, apologizing for your presence, not even the best dressed in the world will do you any favors. And if you’re confident enough, you can wear it St. Patrick’s day shirt to a black tie event and get away with it. Remember to take care of yourself like a man who knows what he is doing, stand up straight, look people in the eye, and remember that there’s nothing more attractive and attractive than pure confidence.
Many people tend to try and place mode to one side as if it did not really matter. But the reality is we live in a visible world and if you want people to take you seriously you must look the part.
