Dress your best and they’ll KNOW you are the best
How to dress is an easy question: the best. There is no reason for you not to be the best dressed person at any social occasion. Dressing well helps you on several levels:
Confidence: When you wear your best, you feel your best. There is nothing that drags you to believe that you are inferior to anyone else in the room.
Looks: Women can recognize a well dress man much better than guys recognize women. Women live and breathe clothes, so it is built in to their daily operation to make assumptions about what type of person you are. Their impressions and assumptions about you are always positive, if you are well dressed, you are also: well off, hygienic, healthy, professional, clean, well mannered and not a serial killer.
Their image: Women since they were girls have always dreamt ” I want a tall dark and handsome man….”, well, you can’t do much about tall but you can fulfill the handsome need simply by always wearing your best at social occasions. They don’t want to be seen talking to some guy who could easily be confused with the neighborhood bricklayer.
You may think :” But then I have to iron the shirt, dry clean the jacket the next day, polish the shoes before going out…” No, you don’t have to do all that. I have streamlined my wardrobe to have only wrinkle free shirts and pants. Wearing my best clothes is just as hassle-less as wearing anything else. I don’t dry clean the jacket every day (once a month at most), the shoes are polished once month. The pants and shirts are washed together with the rest of the casual clothes.
Of course, there are several ways to be well dressed for each occasion. You don’t want be wearing the same sport coat to heavy metal concerts or barbeques.
The best way to figure out what you need to get the best clothes is to skim through GQ type magazines and figure out what is fashionable this year. Then go shop at cheaper than name brand store for those same colors and cuts. All you need is one kick-ass set of clothes for:
1) classy events (like a gallery opening or piano lounge)
2) summer day events ( barbecues, ball games)
3) clubbing (ultra trendy clothes for clubs and high class parties)
4) week night (neighborhood watering holes)
There are ways to look great in all these occasions. Browse a magazine like Vibe or RollingStone or GQ, figure out what the new trend will be and look for stores that sell the same look for less.
