Professional Dress Attire for Men

Men have always the epitome of success. They have a confident aura about them that helps to attain the expectations that were supposedly beyond reach in the workforce. Of course talent advances to first place for the success of the company, but it is also the seemingly smaller aspects that make the greatest impact and nothing makes quite an effect as someone who attires themselves in a manner that speaks solidly of success. Everything counts in the way a man dresses. That includes his hair, clothes, shoes and work-related accessories, which are briefly evaluated by his co-workers, clients and boss.

So how do men dress for success? Let’s start from the top. Literally from the very top, which of course, is the hair.

·         Hair

Men have a simpler outlook on hair than women. All it takes is a simple and clean cut at the barber. A haircut relies on the rate of hair growth so it should be trimmed approximately every 4-5 weeks. A good hair gel should also be invested to smooth out and give a healthy shine. There is also the facial hair, which may or may not be allowed depending on the place of work. However, if it is permitted then it should not appear scruffy and unruly, but trimmed and well-kept for a professional appearance.

·         Clothes
The ideal attire that a man chooses to wear can prove to be significantly great for the company. Men should opt for a tailor-made shirt and trousers and care should be taken to make sure that clothes is free from dirt, stains, lint and wrinkle-free. They should be well fitted and not too big that would give a sloppy appearance. The tie is also equally important since it is one of the first things that meets the eye. It should be chosen to complement the outfit and be wrinkle free.

 ·         Shoes
A good pair of quality dress shoes makes quite a flattering statement. They should be worn, preferably darker than the suit. They should also be cleaned and polished on a regular basis.

 ·         Accessories

- Watch: A timeless watch is a signature piece that adds an extra touch of elegance.


- Belt: A simple black or brown belt with simple buckles are common for work and should match with the colour of the shoes.            


- Briefcase: A polished briefcase provides an overall sophisticated look. It is a popular work bag amongst men as well as a necessity to safely carry important documents in and out of the office.
