Investing in your Appearance! TIP #2 for Males: Make your clothing work for you!!!



Men’s apparel. The choices are endless and a suit is no longer the only choice for a professional look. You may choose to don a suit, or slacks with a blazer. Regardless of your preferred attire, keep in mind that it is an investment and you should treat it accordingly. It is recommended that you wear mid-calf length socks with your loafers, preferably darker hues. Black loafers with white socks should only be worn by people on stage as they perform 80’s music. As for the shirt, you can never go wrong with long-sleeves in white, conservative stripes or a solid light blue. Polo shirts should be tucked in and are acceptable for casual occasions. No matter your final choice of apparel, remember the Golden Rule: your apparel should add to your appearance,not detract from it.

After you’ve chosen a quality article of clothing, your next concern is a proper fit. If you are not sure of your size, ask a tailor take your measurements. Once you know your size, your shopping experiences will be more pleasant. Do not be afraid to have your clothes altered. Men who are shorter or taller than average, may find it difficult to find clothes that fit and should account for the cost of altering garments in their budget. The investment will be worth it. A pair of jeans or slacks that fit properly will go a long way. You will feel more comfortable in clothing that fits thus allowing you to increase your confidence. Eventually, there will come a time when you can glance at an article of clothing and know it is your size. Until that time comes, you will improve through trial and error.
