Jeans may be acceptable in your
work place but will not help you move ahead quickly. They are comfortable and
stylish but not to be taken seriously in the corporate world. I know of one
client who wore jeans as the work place was casual but wondered why he was
constantly overlooked for promotion. Even if your boss wears them you will go
further if you dress just one step up the style ladder.
Ensure pleats fall flat. Pleats
are a design feature of a garment to allow greater flexibility of movement.
They are designed to sit flat. As soon as they are pulled tight the wearer
appears to be too large for the garment.
Pleats are not hidden handbags.
Don’t wear trousers that have pleats simply so you can stuff your pockets with
more junk than my handbag
Packing trousers is simple. If
you are travelling with more than one pair of trousers, fold them all together
on top of each other with the waist end up against the end of the case this
will lessen the effect the creasing.
Know your body and your hemline.
I have one client who has a habit of stitching his trousers up higher during
the day making his trousers appear too short for him. If this is you, ask your
tailor to pin your trousers longer than necessary you will look better in the
end.
Have your pants altered if they
are too long rather than making your long pants clean the floor. It is quite
common to need your pants altered when you purchase them. This is best done
through the store from which will purchase them. Get it done immediately and
properly; otherwise you may find yourself wearing them at the wrong length for
quite some time.
Lose the clown look. Never
overstuff hip pockets unless you want to look heavy. Consider buying two sets
of trousers with your suit. Trousers are the first part of a suit to wear and
look shabby two sets of trousers will allow you to rotate them and get a longer
life out of your suit.
Be careful of the damage a large
watch can do to your trouser pockets. I have seen many pairs of pants with the
pockets fraying due to oversized watches being jammed into them.
Pants should have no more than two breaks at the
bottom. The correct fit for your pants is to have one or two creases over the
front of your shoe, known as a break. More than that and your pants will be
considered too long.

Cords are dressier than jeans if
you can afford to dress casually at work a pair of cords will have you casual
and still looking smart.The thicker the cord the dressier the pants.
Do not wear cuffed pants if you
are not tall. Cuffsbreak the flow of pants and can be very stylish but on a
short man will make his legs appear shorter.
Pants should only have one
crease. Creases in pants should be singular. Be careful when you are attempting
to repress anything that you do not create tramlines. When you take your pants
off hang them over a chair to give them a chance to air and not crumple.
Shorts can shorten your career no
matter where you live shorts are a no in the corporate world. They can be
acceptable in other areas of work but to the corporate man they are purely for
social occasions.
Suit pants should not be worn
with sports shirts. Suit pants have a very obvious suit look to them and will
be too dressy to wear with a sports shirt.
IF your pants have a belt loop,
wear a belt. It will make you look finished. Going without a belt will tell
everyone that you did not bother.
Woolen pants look great with a
turtleneck top and blazer for a smart casual look. Dressing casually means more
than slipping on your jeans. This look will do you proud both in the office and
in your social life. It is best achieved with a low to medium contrast
happening with not much difference in colour or tone
between the trousers and the blazer or shirt.
Don’t settle for a near fit have
your clothes made or altered to fit you will always look better groomed. The
clothing will sit better and create better lines to the body. Also a well
fitting garment will make even an inexpensive garment will expressive.Don’t let
your pinstripe take over. Wide pinstripes can make a heavy person look heavier
and a short person shorter. Medium pinstripes of about 1cm make a short person
appear tailor and a heavy person lighter. Keep an eye on the details. Good quality
buttons are a sign of a good quality garment.
Always dress as if you are
expecting to run into someone you respect. Running out of the house in your
oldest tracksuit of your warrick capper shorts will be the time you run into
the last person you were hoping to see when you are so poorly attired. Always
expect the unexpected.
