A three piece suit is always associated with being really well dressed and classy. However, many people make mistakes with their waistcoats (also known as vests which refers to a more casual look) that can ruin the whole look.
During appointments, networking events & with friends I receive a lot of questions from style advice to "what are some common mistakes?" Here I will answer a few of those questions to help you boost your style quickly and easily.
As we continue to help our clients establish their own personal brand we want to bring to you the importance of the colors you wear. Whenever you are meeting a client, going for an interview, dressing for work (whether you are new or trying to establish your brand) you'll want to keep in mind that what you are wearing says something. We will show you what each color portrays and in what situations each color should work best. When we are talking about colors, for the most part we are talking about accessories not the whole outfit. In a Professional environment stick to the light grey, charcoal and navy suit, if you are going for style have fun with these colors.
The Business world is full of competition. For those competing with other agencies or companies for clients, how about co-workers competing with their colleagues for that promotion or for those competing with other job seekers. We spend hours tweaking our LinkedIn profile or crafting e-mails to try and make ourselves look desirable or credible to whomever we are trying to impress. This helps us get their attention but then we get to the interview or a meeting with the prospective client and they see someone who's physical image doesn't match up to the image they perceived online.
One thing I personally love to do is peruse Instagram and check out fashion influencer's. I am always finding people that have great style and I fully admit I spend too much time on Instagram in a day checking out profiles. I figured it was time to pass that knowledge on to our followers since our main goal as a Men's Fine Fashion brand is to teach our clients how to dress professionally and/or stylishly. Without further ado, here are our top 20 favorite people on Instagram for style accounts!
Throughout this year we will have a few guest posts by fashion influencer's and fashion bloggers who have worn our product. They will give us a run down of their outfit and how they chose to put it together to give our readers & clients a better idea on how the "pro's" dress. First up is our friend from Instagram @Meeeotch who currently boasts a following of over 20,000 and if you see his profile you know why, he does a great job at putting outfits together.
Let's go straight to the windowpane suit pattern since it is very popular with our clients, if they don't choose this pattern you can guarantee it's in their short list. The above picture is a bolder pattern than what most people choose but it helps to illustrate the point. The windowpane pattern itself is blue, so it limits your options on what you can wear with it. Which is why most of our clients opt for a solid color suit or a white pattern instead.
We have our very own list of essentials explained on our blog & website that our clients are able to purchase, but what products do you need to build a strong wardrobe? We run through the essentials here. If you already have most of these congratulations it's time to expand! Contact us to help make that happen, we can swap out any fabric and/or customization's to help you further expand your wardrobe & update your style!
The other day we put up a "guide to wearing blue" on our LinkedIn page from MenStyleFashion.com so let's jump right into this outfit overview with a favorite blue look of our own.
