THE ATTITUDE OF IMAGE

When we hear the word "attitude," most of us think of sassiness or rebelliousness. The truth is, an attitude is simply a frame of mind, and is a major part of how others see you. Whether you're facing an important client presentation or a critical board meeting, make sure you're in the best frame of mind for success by optimizing these three critical areas:

 

1. Be comfortable in your own skin and your clothes. Customizing the cut and style of your wardrobe to fit your frame eliminates worries about your appearance. When you feel comfortable you'll look comfortable.

 

2. Consider the situation. Even a dynamite power suit will look out of place at a small dinner party, and a polo shirt won't impress at a board meeting. Your image should be appropriate to the occasion. 

 

3. Check your body language. What do your eye contact, stance, and facial expressions say about you? Do you look weary, or do you radiate energy and enthusiasm about your life, your work, and the people around you?

 

Make sure that you're creating a frame of mind that will promote the best image for success. The quality of your attitude is just as important as the quality of your clothing.

 

REMEMBER 

"The way you look affects

The way you think

The way you feel

The way you speak

The way you act, and then...

The way others react or respond to you." 

INSTANT PANACHE: JUST ADD POCKET SQUARE


Every detail on your suit should pull its weight, including your choice of pocket square. By coordinating the color of your square with the tones in your tie and suit, you can add style to your look without a lot of fuss.

 

Rather than wearing a pocket square in one of the main colors from your suit, select one of the minor shades used in the weave instead. This gives an unexpected twist to your ensemble, and keeps your look fresh and interesting.

 

Pocket squares can be a great accent in a jacket even without a tie. Consider trying a square fold look rather than a puff or point, for a nostalgic 50s-60s era look.
