Have coordinated wardrobe that is build on a basic color scheme. Discover the colors that are most flattering for your complexion and incorporate or mix and match these colors in your clothes and accessories.

Experiment on clothes in order to discover the right style, lines and colors that would suit your own image, lifestyle and personality. It pays to see what feels and looks good on us and for us.

Always dress appropriately and learn to blend with the rest of the group you are going to work with.

As a rule, colors of high value (like yellow and orange) and warm colors tend to enlarge, while colors of low value (such as blue or violet) as well as cool colors appear to recede and diminish. Also remember that dark colors (blue, gray, brown, black) are low profile. People do not tend to notice them, while light colors (red, white, yellow, orange, bright green or pink) call attention to themselves.

Tips on the Business Suit:

a) A suit is associated with authority, with position, with power.

b) Business suit colors may be gray, any of the toast browns, gray greens or blues. The darker the suit, the more authority it transmits.

c) The suit should be of good enough quality to last four (4) to five (5) years, if you alternate it with at least three (3) others of the same quality.

d) You can judge the quality of the suit according to its material, workmanship and fit.

e) The single-breasted suit is the prevailing style. It does not require a vest but you may wear one with it. The vest need not match the suit in fabric or color.

f) The double-breasted suit will never go out of style. If you are thin, wear it, if you are heavy, do not. The modern double-breasted suit has soft construction and needs to be carefully tailored to measure. It can be most unbecoming to the man of less than average height or to be one who, though tall enough, has too generous a girth or too short a waist. The double-breasted suit is worn without a vest.

g) Lengthening the coat does not usually simulate height. On the contrary, it shortens the legs. The length of the coat is determined by the shape of the man. As suit should always be long enough to cover the seat of the trousers, but on a short man it should not ordinarily be longer that, no matter what the current fashion.

h) The top of the jacket sleeves should come approximately five (5) inches off the tip of the thumb, never more than five and a half inches.

g) The shirt sleeves should not show above the cuff itself. Too much cuff showing is better than too little.

h) The trouser pocket contents should be limited to your small change of key that is in a flat case.

i) A used handkerchief, folded as flat as possible, can be returned to the hip pocket, but a wallet there may make an unsightly bulge.

j) The number of shirts for each suit depends almost entirely on how frequently you must wear the suit and how fast your laundry is. Three (3) shirts are absolute minimum for each suit.
