Mens Fashion & Style By Mthobisi

Dresing the part as a man must not be a challenge like climbing Mount Everest but it must be an activity that is practicable and enjoyable at the same time. The problem is not having lots of clothes as some men may think but it is about using what is available in your wardrobe to enable yourself to look good and respectful at the same time. The trick with looking professional these days is the strategy for looking like a pro even if you are an Expert.

Men can look professional without the expensive suits and formal attires such as business formal that cost an arm and a leg. How can a man dress professional? You may ask, well this blog post will uncover the secrets of timeless styles that don’t need a formal style for that very important Job Interview that will change your life for the better.

Firstly, men need a Tweed Coat or a Proper Jacket that works well in a versatile way with dress shirts, jeans and sneakers (Boots or dress shoes are okay too)

The phrase “Dress for success” is key in today’s digital world because in as much as the world is geared towards technology, there are still jobs that need physical face to face appearances such as “Sales, Marketing, Office Administration, Event Coordination, Business Development Manager and Finance Manager. These jobs listed above are key and for a man who has been called to come attend a job Interview to show his face to the Human Resource Team and Company, he needs to dress like a professional so that he projects a serious respectful appearance and good manners that will impress the Company representatives.

There is a phrase that goes “All our dreams and goals can come true only if we have the courage to pursue them” and that shows that men too need to have the courage to dress like they have received the job even if they are nervous about that Job Interview. The first thing men need to do is to select these essential style pieces in their personal wardrobe: Tweed jackets that are made from wool as they make coats, jackets and wool trousers, dress shirts that are work appropriate such as blue, black or white long sleeve ones, jeans that are solid denim and proper shoes such as sneakers that are comfortable, flexible and practical to wear especially for those up and down jobs like Sales.

Secondly, men need to have Golfer Shirts that can be paired with a belt that is versatile such that you can look casual yet command respect too (Notice- stick to solid colors for a professional appeal)

Second clothing piece in the men’s wardrobe, is to select the so called Golfer shirts or Polo shirts that have a design of 2 to 3 buttons along the seam and have a solid collar or a Soft collar depending on the material or fabric of the polo shirt and Golf shirt. Another great thing about the Golf shirt is the versatile Factor to it and the fact that it is affordable to buy (From $60 to $150 BUCKS you can earn a quality golf shirt)

When you dress like this man above, you are proving to the Recruiters that you are serious about this Role and you respect yourself and that increases your chances of getting HIRED and getting the job permanently. Also, men who are mature aged 25 to 30 need to at least have the following pieces in their wardrobe, that are not too formal yet ideal for work purposes:

• Black golfer shirt and a Black dress shirt
• White dress shirt
• Brown trousers
• Solid jeans (Blue and black are okay for work)
• Blue dress shirts (2 of them for the working man)
• A belt
• Cool sneakers and dress shoes (For flexibility whilst working)
• A solid Blazer like Tweed Jacket
• At least one Solid SUIT (For key business events such as meetings about company promotions)

Thirdly, the last piece men need is the accessories such as Lapel pins and watches which are details that show you pay attention to style yet not adding too much jewellery that seems unprofessional

Lastly, in the world of work, where men face pressures, deadlines and unending targets and when there is a lot on your plate, go for these accessories that will make you feel relaxed and calm despite these pressures to perform and the nerves of that scary job interviews. Men have different skills and we may all be of the same gender but our skills are not the same. I for one can have sales and marketing skills but not accounting skills or graphic design skills yet there can be a man who has accounting skills but not selling skills.
