Once
upon a time, the dress code for men were fairly simple,
dark suit for anything and everything; from business to
work and meeting up for drinks. But the trend that speaks
nowadays are of a different language. Every now and then,
we are forced fed with fancy and luxuriously doctored images
on fashion spreads in magazines and
billboards. But are all these suits and ties really relevant
to our environment? You definitely wouldn't want to impress
your boss in your latest tight suit.
Most
men are expected to wear a suit and a
tie in office, unless your job does not require you
to do that, that is either you are a performer or a
busker. But for the rest of them, it is just too bad,
you got to be suited up with those dark
grey suit. Dark grey and blue are the
colors you can expect in any banking environment. If
you started work in a new environment and you don't
have an idea on what dress code the office is enforced
with, just observe your colleagues, you will be able
to get a hint. Probably, you can see some of them that
dresses up like a multi-millionaire with suspenders
and those golden cuff links, whom never get promoted.
You will be able to spot some who can't defy the gravity
of ageing, dressing up like the date. One thing you
should keep in mind is that the cloths you wear should
never draw attention. Once you do that or cross that
line, you will be branded for
your working life in that office, unless you get promoted.
Be confident with yourself, get some nice suits that
are anonymous, a couple of nice ties to go with it
and white shirts, you will do alright. Never be remembered
by your colleagues or boss by what you wear but by
your achievements. It is not the suit that wears you
but you are actually wearing the suit.
Ever
been tempted to dress young? The symptoms are
wearing a baseball cap indoors, wearing a favorite band
printed t-shirt with your blazer, pony tails and anything
that reminds you of being a rockstar during
your school days. Always dress your age, if you really
want to dress young just because you think you are such
a funky guy, try looking at a mirror first. If it's over-kill,
loose some stuffs off yourself, remember, if you don't
dress carefully you are a fan not a rock star.
How
about those who dress too old for their age. Probably they
think that this is the best way to be respected by his
peers or maybe get some attention by his boss, maybe a
promotion (I don't think so). Most bosses get intimidtaed
by a sight like this. Symptoms: Golden cufflinks that stops
at the end of each sleeve, suspenders that hold up your
pants, light brown shoes that goes with dark pants and
if you are crazy enough you will be walking with a cane
(I bet you seen that on TV). Oh please! Dress your age!Most
men knows that floral t-shirts and bermudas is not the
right attire for a funeral. But you can still find some
men wearing wacky outfits to a grand wedding. A decent
morning suit cost as nearly $2000, you can divide it by
the number of weddings you will be attending and see if
it is a sound investments. If not, you can still hire one.
NEVER wear a scarlet cummerbund and a matching bow-tie,
you are not going for a special number. Nor wearing sneakers
with the morning suit makes you look like Micheal J. Fox.
For goodness sake, guys, do some research at any book stores
before you buy one.What about first dates? Okay, to start
it off, let me bring in the Losers first: they are the
ones that wear leather trousers, top hats, leather blouson
or a t-shirt that says “The one on the left is stupid!” If
you think that such outfits will impress your girl the
first date, I don't know what to say. The best way to do
it is just wear a casual blazer, casual smart is the word. I
hope these helps, but when in doubt, always remember to
dress your age and be comfortable in what you are wearing. |
