    Please Help me Dress Smart

    Thanks all. I've been dressing better for work so am getting the hang of it, albeit making a few mistakes though. Mind you I've been slinging my jacket over the back of my chair as soon as I get in but what else do you do in July? Main problem is still that I have smart stuff and casual stuff...

    Please Help me Dress Smart

    Stay on this sub forum and don't go anywhere else on this site. No I wasn't planning to. Just looking for a bit of advice that's all! Want to make a change and finding it a bit of a tall order.

    Please Help me Dress Smart

    unless you're looking for comments from your friends, you do need to make the transformation slowly I started adding a jacket to casual pants (jeans/chinos/etc) when going to mid-level restaurants where few people wear jacket I also started expanding the colors I would choose from when dressing...

    Please Help me Dress Smart

    Funny thing is I don't think it's so much the working out what to wear. I'm willing to give anything a go. It's more having the courage to look a bit different to how people usually expect you to look that I am struggling with. Especially when they are all used to seeing me casual. Any advice...

    Please Help me Dress Smart

    Already posted a few messages on here but this is the crux of the matter. Please help me smarten myself up. I'd like to start dressing much better and swap my jeans and t-shirt look for suits and the like. Mind you, until I'm in the swim of things I don't want to spend a great deal so won't be...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    I think my plan has to be: 1/ Starting a new job soon. Will certainly have to wear shirt, shoes and trousers so, hopefully jacket and tie can be added without looking too pretentious. Try that and stick at it for a while. 2/ If I'm going out later on and want to look good then I'll stay...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    So when you finish work, do you change out of your work clothes or do they serve you for the rest of the day? I can't get away from the idea that some of my clothes are for work and the rest are for outside work and would find it difficult to allow them to cross over, but would have to do so if...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    I try to dress appropriately for the occasion. That means suit and tie when required, but it often means t-shirt and shorts when I am at my house or just doing casual things. However, I do think that just like a suit, even in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt you can look better than 99% of the...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    Its also an age thing. As you get older , you mature and you start to dress appropriate for your age. If someone at 35-40 is still dressing like a 20 yr old, thats someone that hasnt grown up yet. How did you know I am my 30s and dressing like a 20 year old!!! Seriously though, I would like to...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    I have to admit I no longer wear trainers unless I need to - eg walking, gym. I used to wear them nearly all the time. The thing I reckon I'll really struggle with is t-shirt and jeans because they are just so comfortable - more so than shirt and trousers. The problem is I feel really good when...

    Can I get away with this outfit?

    Meant to add, if its jeans I reckon t-shirt is better than a shirt If you're going to wear a shirt you may as well go full circle and wear a suit Just my opinion for what its worth

    Can I get away with this outfit?

    Looks okay to me. Have done that look many times. Have you tried it in a real life situation yet? Reckon you should just give it a go and if, as an example, you feel you need to have your shirt in (or out) you can sort it out as you go along. Not very sartorial mind you but probably good...

    Dressing Smart on Ordinary Occasions

    Question for all on this board. I can see you are all really into dressing smartly, suits, ties etc... However, do you carry this on into your evenings and weekends or is it just a workday thing? If so, was it a gradual process or did you one day just decide to go with the look 24/7. I would...

    Jobs you can dress up to

    Thanks, it is really good to know as I don't know how to turn up for work. My new job is as a Consultant in the energy industry so I suppose I can just about get away with it. Although I still keep thinking its an basic office/shirt and tie job (or perhaps thats just me putting myself down)...

    Suit Advice

    If he weighs 168 lbs and his height is 69" then his body mass index is 24.8. Normal is 18.5 to 24.9 - so he is at the upper end of normal. Losing weight helps one to look better in clothes, but I think he can pursue his goals by sticking with his current wardrobe and seeing his tailor and...

    Jobs you can dress up to

    So, far all those on here who go to work daily in full suit and tie... What do you do for a living, and does it warrant the way you dress or is it personal choice?
