We would like to pass on a great resource (more geared towards men) about how to dress for success. It is an online book that explains everything including Coordinating Ties, Finding The Right Suit For Your Body Type, Dressing on a Budget, How to Accessorize, Caring for Your Wardrobe and much more. The book even comes complete with pictures to help get the message across.

Below we will go over a few of the best tips the book offers and you can also follow the link at the bottom to read the entire book online. It’s very informative and helpful.

1) For an interview play it conservative and choose a suit in dark color such as a black, gray/charcoal, or navy blue. Paired with a white shirt, and a solid tie, these are safe choices that will keep you in the game for almost any interview. Th ere are plenty of other good choices, like a subtle pinstripe or even a plaid – but they aren’t right for every situation and they need to be paired with the right shirt, tie, belt, and shoes.

2) When trying on a shirt and buttoning up the collar you should be able to insert two fi ngers between the shirt and your neck, but not more. Th e collar should sit up smartly and should not dig into your neck, nor be fl opping around.

3) The belt should be sized so that you are on the second or third loop from the end of the belt when the belt is fastened. Th is means that you will have about two inches of belt protruding form the end of the buckle.

4) Never unbutton your shirt in a meeting or when you are outside your office walls. It is a faux pas to allow your undershirt to show. It is better to get a shirt that fi ts you well than to unbutton one when it is uncomfortable.
