men fashion

Entering the real world – you’ve got to open your eyes to the inconvenient truth: books are always judged by their covers.

Appearances do matter. Especially when it comes to first impressions.

Isn’t a good personality still important? Absolutely. But some people won’t ever be exposed to it if they can’t see past your lackluster “cover.”

To nail first impressions, your style and image have to work within society’s system of what’s acceptable – what’s expected of young professionals.

You want to dress in a way that can easily grant you those precious seconds to sell a thought, make your case, and influence others.

That means you must stick to crisp, clean, and well-fitted clothing. That’s what encourages people to take you more seriously. Any young doctor, lawyer, consultant or salesman needs to understand this.

It also matters to dress appropriately for your age. If your wardrobe screams “student” or “teenager” – you’re going to be treated like you’re still a kid. You need dressier clothes that show your maturity so you’ll gain the respect and trust of everyone (older and younger).
