It’s a fact that people who make up their minds
about you in 30 seconds or less based upon your appearance.
This
evaluation of you by others takes place quickly and
is important in all areas of life, but particularly
in a business environment, where you’re out
to impress and money may depend on it!
We
all make fashion mistakes sometimes, but the ones
below should be avoided at all costs.
1.
Short sleeve shirts with a tie
Short
sleeve shirts don’t really project the right
image at all and you should stick to long sleeved
shirts that are a safer classier option.
2.
Scruffy shoes
Are
one of the most undervalued areas of a man's wardrobe
and fact is one of the main items of clothing a women
looks at first!
Your
shoes should be in good repair, well kept and shiny.
If you are wearing a suit, lace-up shoes are normally
the safest option.
3.
Trousers that are to short
Should
be long enough to cover your socks, and socks should
cover your shins even when you are crossing you legs.
Your trousers should just cover the heel of your shoe.
4.
Socks that don’t match
Socks
should always match your trousers. Don’t be
tempted with trying wacky colors such as green or
yellow, with a dark serious business suit.
It
wont make you look individual it will make you look
stupid.
5.
Belts that don’t match
Belts
should as a general rule always match your shoes.
Make sure you don’t economize on your belt,
worn belts and belts that are too small or to large
should be replaced immediately.
6.
Make sure ties hang correctly
Ties
should always reach your belt line and be tied correctly.
A tie that is to short simply makes you look ridiculous.
7.
Clothes That Are Too Loose Fitting
Clothes
that are too loose, Indicates a sloppy look and that’s
exactly the type of fashion mistake you can’t
make in a business environment.
It’s
simply not the right look to appear professional and
clothes need to fit your body type.
This
might take some trial and error as you mix and match
certain styles, but you should find the right fit
quickly that flatters your body type.
8.
Wearing unflattering colors
The
colors you wear should compliment your natural features
such as your eye color, skin tone and body shape.
Keep this in mind when choosing your clothes.
If
for example, you are very pale, avoid a white linen
suit that may make you look washed out.
9.
Wearing To many colors
Limit
each of your outfits to just one to three colors or
shades to give you a simple coordinated look.
If
in doubt find a color wheel online and use it to help
you choose your colors.
Colors
opposite each other on the wheel are "complementary
colors" . Colors adjacent to each other are called
"analogous colors".
When
putting together an outfit, stick to complementary
and analogous colors and remember less is more.
10.
Wearing too many fabrics
You
can get around fabric miss matching by simply separating
your winter and summer clothes.
Winter
fabrics will tend to be heavier and denser while summer
fabrics are mostly made of natural fibers, single-layered
and lighter. For example, don’t wear your heavy
wool winter suit with a linen shirt!
The
above fashion mistakes are more common than they should
be and should be avoided at all costs.
You
can’t take chances if you’re working in
a conservative business environment.
You
are selling your appearance and your clothes are one
of the first things people are going to notice about
you, so make sure you make the right first impression.
