3 Top Tips to Look Like a Million Bucks
Three top tips for any man, on
any budget to look like a million bucks There
are many reasons why you may not have the resources to put toward a stellar
wardrobe. Hey, things have been a little
rough around here (lately!) and most of you are working triple time either
finishing education, launching a new entrepreneurial venture or making ends
meet with kids in college and no wealthy uncle covering the shortfall. That
doesn't mean you have to look like you are last on the disposable income totem
pole in your family. My top three "Look
Like a Million Bucks" tips will allow you
to project an image that is prosperous,
substantial, and like a man of means with out a big cash outlay. And if
you think what ever your "line" is, this is not applicable to you think
again! People respond more favorably to
those they feel are succeeding in whatever they do. Your own confidence will quickly mirror your
look, creating a very positive circle of success! 1. Your leather goods, shoes, belt and wallet
are stronger indicators of social status and affluence than you know. Scuffed, worn at the heel shoes, out of
style, plastic-y looking shoes say unsophisticated quicker than you can say it
yourself. Whipping out an overstuffed,
bedraggeled wallet when you are looking to impress the lady, the client or the
boss just falls flat. Having the point
of your tie resting on a frayed and "notch" gouged belt and your personal value
statement is slipping. What
to do? Your wallet is easy; if it's more than of an inch thick, cull through,
remove everything you can, and buy a new one.
You can buy an inexpensive model (like $30 from Macy's) just be sure you
are ready to replace it in 6 to 9 months. Belts are easy too choose a simple buckle,
and even black on one side and brown on the other if things are really
tight. Purchase one that is two inches
larger than your trouser size. Again,
if paying less (like $30-$40) plan on replacing it in 6 months. Your
shoe investment is going to be more but WELL worth it. I recommend you consider the shoes you buy to
be in terms of years of use, and properly cared for with resoling,
waterproofing and the use of shoe trees.
When you purchase great shoes it
singles you out as a cut above the rest.
What's a great shoe? Well
these bucks http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-air-franklin-plain-oxford-white-nubuck
are my favorite summer shoe they are perfect at the office with a
cotton suit in tan or stone, or a seersucker suit. Or for year round elegance these wingtips http://www.zappos.com/allen-edmonds-strand-walnut-calf
are fabulous. Wearing a shoe like this
will subliminally (at a minimum!) impress anyone and everyone you meet. I
highly recommend you critically inspect and replace your leather goods sooner
rather than later. 2. Wear monogrammed custom shirts. Nothing says "I made it" like a shirt cuff
monogram peeking out from under a jacket sleeve. And the fact that most people assume that
you paid $300 a shirt makes that even more powerful. Which is why I think the company JHilburn.com is such a great resource for
men custom shirts starting at $79 ($89 w/monogram) and no minimum order
requirements mean you can order a "best" shirt or a whole closet full and not
break the bank. Another element that
sets you apart from the pack, is creating a "signature style", and custom
shirting is an easy way to do this.
Signature style can mean that you only wear French cuffs, or your
monograms are always on your right cuff in grey, or your shirts invariably have
some kind of purple stripe. It can mean
you wear a pocket square, or fabulous socks as well, but shirts are an easy way
to begin a signature style. 3. Make a relationship with an excellent tailor.
No one is likely going to inspect the
stitching, weave and lining of your suit for the kind of quality that paying
$1000 or more affords. But they will
notice a $2000 suit that is cut, fit and tailored poorly. But back to the tailor, this is not your
local dry cleaner who hems your trousers, this is a quality tailor with his or
her own long standing establishment. If
you have a $550 budget, it's better to buy a $300 suit and get $250 in alterations to ensure the fit is
really good, than a $550 (or more) suit
that isn't quite right. Making
wardrobe decisions when money is tight is well supported by investing in an
image consultant. The few hundred
dollars of professional advice when you are looking at an overwhelming array of
confusing options can make the difference between a good purchase of long
lasting value and a mistake. The
salesperson may or may not have your best interest at heart but they surely
don't have the training in lines, balance and proportion that an image consultant
does in order to select a suit for you that is the length, style and fit that
optimizes your build. Not to mention
coloring. The more you can't "afford" to
make a bad suiting decision like for an interview suit, a presentation suit
or a "best" all around suit, the more it makes sense to include a professional.
