Good manners are associated with well dressed men

There is a quote that says “Dressing well is a form of good manners” written by Tom Ford is an indication that dressing well as a man grants you the notion and perception that you are a good man with acute manners. From the focal point of view and based on what our naked eyes see we do believe a man wearing sharp clothing such as suits and formal apparel to be a well mannered gentleman. This blog post will explain five manners men need to practice when dressing sharp , in simpler words, using forms of address is crucial when talking to people.

1. Being respectful

Yes, this is the key manner that is a norm for men who wear sharp suits, formal wear and other appropriate dress codes. From my own point of view, I can certainly say that a man who wears a suit is seen as well respectful and that’s because he looks like he was well brought up and bonus taking care of yourself as a man is another way to respect others and yourself. For the suits, go for those dark and simple colors such as brown, blue, white, grey and black. Just take for instance Steve Harvey, he not only is funny in his shows but he cares about image thus he always wear clothes that command respect.

2. Practice common courtesy such as thankfulness

Common courtesy is a way of communicating with the outside world and that is saying thanks. This means a man whether he wears a suits or not can easily say thanks to another person for the compliment or for people greeting him. Example, hey Mthobisi you look good in that suit, then I say “Thanks or Thank You”.

3. Apologize and say excuse me when you burp whilst eating

Imagine you are visiting a long time companion and you both planned a dinner and you want to dress sharp , wear a well fitted suit(I would) and then practice being respectful with your manners. If you ate lots of food, you burped , apologise and say “Excuse me” , it is simple and it shows manners. I bet some homes do this.

4. Non verbal cues such as a handshake are to be used

A handshake is a norm for the gents. Imagine you are a closing a deal and you won the deal, to show manners, give the client a firm handshake(thankfully COVID-19 has eased so handshakes are practiced now and it shows professionalism)

5. Language factor must be carefully used(No insults)

It is simple, be polite and avoid insulting people even if you are well dressed. Be a gentleman and be fun to hang around with.
