Start with blue. Navy, cobalt or Prussian blue. A strong and conservative blue establishes trust and credibility. If you want to be liked and appear confident, wear a three piece blue suit with two button jacket and flap pockets for a polished and comfortable look. We recommend the Madison Placid Blue Men’s Suit. Don’t let the name fool you, this suit invites confidence and trust.
Pair it with a red and navy striped tie or polka dot tie to look assertive without being overpowering or threatening. Save lighter tans, beige and neutral colors for days when you’re mediating between colleagues or chairing a meeting where you do not want to be seen as taking sides.
Always consider the fit. Fit is king and whether you’ve paid $500 or $5,000 for the suit, if it doesn’t fit you impeccably, don’t wear it.
Now think about the details. A suit, shirt and tie are de rigueur but what details will convey the message of confidence, power and leadership you want to send? Want the greater formality and dressiness of cuff links? Then consider a French cuffed classic White Oxford men’s dress shirt. Nothing works better than a white men’s dress shirt. Choose square cufflinks with blue accents.
Style it up with a solid colored light blue pocket square and don’t forget a high polish on your shoes.
