Turns out that most regular people assume a man in a sharp jacket or suit is someone important, and treat him accordingly. People may treat you differently - but the differences will be overwhelmingly positive. You may initially feel “overdressed,” particularly when you're the only man wearing a jacket or a suit as opposed to a shirt or sweater. I always tell my readers and my clients that they can't be afraid to be the best-dressed guy in the room.īecause I'll tell you what - if you take the time to care about your appearance, it's going to happen. Where our clothes came from matters, and it still influences the messages they send today - whether the people receiving the message understand why or not. So with all of my outfits, I strive for an understanding of the style's history. Instead, you have an understanding of what your clothes mean, which in turn tells you when they would or would not be appropriate. Or you could understand the history of the trouser cuff - as a working man's protection against fraying and mud, especially when working with horses and carriages - and know that its associations are with labor, not with business.Īt that point you don't have a rule to remember. You could, for example, memorize the “rule” that trouser cuffs are informal, and that business suits should always be hemmed without a cuff. If you just try to memorize “do and don't” rules, it gets overwhelming. That's both a philosophical and a practical consideration. You need to have a little understanding of and respect for where modern styles came from. This is an important rule for anyone who wants to really understand his clothes, as opposed to just trusting experts to tell him what to wear.

And without this rule, no one's ever going to get much of anywhere - in improving his wardrobe, or in anything else. I start my personal style journey every day by giving a damn about who I am and what I represent - my business, my family, and my values.Ĭaring about those things strongly makes me care strongly about how I present myself. You can put on the best clothes in the world and you'll still look like a kid dressing up for a school play.Īttitude is everything, in style and in life. If you don't care how you look, you're never going to look good. Click Here To Watch The Video – 10 Style Rules Every Man Should Know 1.
