A good image is important to have confidence in yourself, to achieve your personal and professional goals and to feel good.
Read on to find out what are the most common mistakes men make when choosing their professional wardrobe.
- The clothes have to fit you well. The most important thing is not the brands but the clothes that favor you and are of your size. Do not trust the number because each company sometimes has different sizes, always try on the clothes before buying and also if you have changed weight.
Clothing does not have to be too loose or too tight.
- The shirts. Always make sure the collars and cuffs are clean, and not worn. Shirts must be well ironed.
It is better to choose them from natural fabrics, preferably cotton, they can also have some synthetic but do not fall into the mistake of buying 100% polyester.
The shirt must be lighter in color than the suit jacket or blazer.
- White socks. The great singer Michael Jackson was known for always wearing white socks, however it is not a good option to wear with a dress or casual outfit, better to reserve them for when we are going to play sports.
- Short sleeve shirt with tie. In the office environment it is better to always wear a long-sleeved shirt, we always have the option to roll it up when it's hot.
Short-sleeved shirts are always worn without a tie and also not with the suit.
- Neglected shoes. Shoes are a very important accessory, it is not necessary to have many but they are made of leather. Take good care of them, polish them daily and try not to wear the same pair every day so that they last longer. If the sole is worn, do not forget to take it to the shoemaker to make all the necessary arrangements.
When you wear cheap shoes, it shows at first glance.
For the suit: wearing dress shoes, the best option is neither the loafers that are more informal or the boots, unless you are a "crocodile dundee" or a Texan landowner.
- Now let's focus on accessories.
In a professional setting, the only jewelry accessories that are often accepted are the watch, the wedding band, and the cufflinks. Earrings, pulsars, necklaces and the like, better to reserve them for out of the office.
Before wearing a 100% polyester tie, it is worth not wearing any. Better silk, cotton or even wool.
The tie must be clean and free of snags or loose threads.
The suit and dress pants are belted but narrow, not with a large buckle.
- As for hair, it is important to wear a current haircut and maintain it with regular visits to the hairdresser.
Pluck the excess hair between the eyebrows and cut the protruding hairs from the ears and nose.
The keys to keep in mind to have a good professional image can be summarized in taking care of hygiene, paying attention to detail and using quality clothing and accessories.
