To create a wise male image, we need to manage it in three aspects: suit, shirt and tie.
1, set
The requirement for men to wear suits is dignity, elegance and trustworthiness.
colour
In the choice of suit color, many people have a misunderstanding that men's suits only have three colors: black, gray and blue. In fact, it is best not to wear a big black suit on formal occasions, otherwise it will give people a sense of mystery, strangeness and terror rather than authority. Black suits are only suitable for two occasions: one is to wear a black tie to the funeral, and the other is to wear a black bow tie as a small dress to attend a small social dinner.
Navy blue is recommended for men's suits. The biggest advantage of navy suit is that it gives people a sense of solemnity, majesty and authority. Secondly, you can choose dark gray, although the sense of authority is slightly inferior, but it is better than elegance and nobility. Dark gray suits are especially suitable for men in China, making their refined temperament and elegant and noble temperament complement each other. Alternatively, you can choose light gray. A suit of this color lacks the sense of authority, elegance and nobility, but the biggest advantage is affinity, which is a temperament that managers must have.
style
In terms of style, men's business suits are no longer popular with double-breasted suits, but with single-breasted slim suits. The number of buttons varies from one to four, and the standard is three.
About the slimming suit? Thin? It is required that the shoulders of the suit should not be loose, otherwise it will appear spiritless. When measuring shoulders, you can put four fingers on them. If the thumb is just stuck and the width is just right, otherwise the shoulder of the suit is too wide. In terms of waistline, fasten the middle button and measure it with your fist. If you just put it in half a fist, it will meet the standard. Compared with women's professional suits, it needs to be able to put a palm in it.
Feeding; Fabric; lining
In terms of fabrics, solid color fabrics are no longer popular and replaced by stripes.
There are two kinds of stripes: one is dark stripes, that is, stripes are far away, such as blue stripes of blue suits and gray stripes of gray suits; The second is bright stripes. Bright stripes can be divided into three types in width: one is extremely thin, with a width of only 0 or 3 mm, which is called needle stripe; One is a standard stripe with a width of 1 cm; There is also a wide stripe with a width of 16 mm, which is also called coarse stripe or aristocratic stripe.
Step 2: shirts
After the suit is worn on the body, no part can directly contact the skin. Generally speaking, the only parts that may come into contact with the skin are the collar and wrist, and it is the shirt that can avoid the suit from coming into contact with these two positions.
Two? The two-finger principle?
Pay attention to two male official shirts? The two-finger principle? : First, the collar is two fingers high, that is, from below the earlobe, the collar is two fingers higher than the suit; Second, the sleeves are two fingers long, that is, the shirt is longer than the sleeves of a suit.
One? One finger principle?
Do men have to wear a business shirt? One finger principle? That is, after the shirt is tied, one finger should be able to reach into the collar.
Make sure the shirt is clean and flat.
The biggest difference between business shirts and ordinary business casual shirts is that there are hard components on the collar, cuffs and front, so you should pay special attention when washing: throwing them directly into the washing machine or rubbing them by hand will destroy the hard components, but you won't worry if you give them to the laundry for dry cleaning, but toxic powder will precipitate on the dry cleaning clothes, so it is best to put them for a week and wait for the powder to evaporate before wearing them.
The simplest washing method is to liquefy the washing powder or clothes with warm water. First, spray the net on the stained place, soak it in a basin for 10 to 15 minutes, and then pat it. Under normal circumstances, stains will fall off. If it doesn't work, hang it with a small soft brush and scrub it. When cleaning the shirt, be careful not to rub or twist it. After drying, gently iron to ensure cleanliness and smoothness.
Try to choose a light color system
When attending important official occasions, men should avoid wearing dark shirts such as dark blue, dark gray, dark brown and dark jujube, and use light-colored shirts with suits.
Light-colored shirts are mainly white, and white is divided into ice white and milky white. The former is blue characters on a white background, and the latter is yellow characters on a white background. The former is more authoritative and the latter is more close to the people. It should be noted that not everyone is suitable for wearing a milky white shirt. For an untidy man, wearing a milky white shirt will only look dirty. There are also light blue, light yellow and light gray shirts, and now light pink shirts are popular. Light pink shirts are suitable for men in China, which can make people's faces bright and energetic.
Cotton thickening
Shirts evolved from underwear, and they are close to the skin. It is best not to wear other clothes inside. When it is cold in winter, some men will wear sweaters or thermal underwear under their shirts, which is unprofessional. It is best to choose a thick cotton shirt. The way to check the thickness is to pick up the shirt and put your hand in the middle of the clothes. No hand prints, and the thickness is qualified.
Step 3 tie
A tie is a man's declaration. Suits and shirts should avoid fancy, but ties can be colorful. Of course, there are some taboos in choosing a business tie, such as not choosing a black tie because it is entertaining; Don't choose ties with cartoon images and beautiful women images. Besides, the tie clip is out of date, so don't imprison your tie any more. The current fashion trend is: suits don't button up, narrow ties don't put in wide-band trademarks and sway with the wind.
There are several specific requirements when choosing a tie:
First, in terms of fabrics, we must choose silk ties. The method of checking whether the tie is real silk is very simple. When the tie is tied, there will be a nest. If the nest is still there, it is real silk.
Secondly, in terms of quantity, public servants should have at least seven shirts and seven ties, and guarantee to change one set every day during the five-day working hours, and the other two sets should be used as a backup to prevent accidents.
Third, in terms of color, ties should have several guaranteed colors. The first choice is navy blue, because it brings people a sense of authority; Followed by sauce red, which is a credible color; Thirdly, you can choose yellow with strong contrast, which is decisive. Be careful not to be pure yellow. You can choose yellow diagonal stripes or small yellow squares. Again, if you want to look fashionable, you can choose light pink; Finally, if you want to be friendly, you can choose light gray.
4, other matters needing attention in shaping the image
Men also have some other considerations when shaping the official image.
Leather shoes, belts, briefcases
Besides suits, shirts and ties, there are three other items that follow the trinity law, namely leather shoes, belts and briefcases. For example, when wearing navy suit, dark gray suit and light gray suit, the color of belt, leather shoes and briefcase should be black instead of brown. In addition, it should be noted that leather shoes that really match men's business suits should be black lace-ups, not black business casual shoes.
Whether it is leather shoes or belts, you should prepare more copies. There must be at least three pairs of leather shoes in business occasions: one pair with lace and two pairs with one ankle; There should be black and dark brown. There must be at least three belts: one black business belt and two business belts. The difference between the two is that there is a bread button in front of the business belt, while there is a buttonhole in front of the business leisure belt. Therefore, wearing business casual pants must not be a business belt. Similarly, don't wear a business casual belt when wearing business pants. The belt should also be black and dark brown. Not too many briefcases, but the briefcases with suits must be black and short.
look
If a man wants to improve his public image, a watch is essential. Many men use watches as a timing tool, but they are not. Watches are men's jewelry. A well-crafted watch is a man's best jewelry, and its function is no less than a woman's diamond ring. Joe, president of IWC, once said: observing a man only needs to look at two aspects, one is shoes, and the other is watches. ?
pen
Besides watches, business men also have a treasure: a pen. In business negotiation and contract signing, a good pen can improve your taste and leave a good impression on customers.
