There's a lot more to power dressing for men than just a suit.
Clothes make the man! This statement is truer in today’s fiercely competitive business world than when Shakespeare wrote it. In fact, studies show that a man who dresses as if he already has the higher position he wants, is much more likely to get it. People believe what they see, and if you look successful they believe you are.
The global CEO is no longer a mythical being seen only in magazines, but a reality of the Indian workplace. So, unless like Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs, wearing one outfit to work everyday is your style, a razor sharp dress code is needed for anyone with that corner office.
While business formals are an acceptable way of dressing, there is much more to style than just a good suit. Here are some golden rules to spruce up your CEO wardrobe:
Choose what you wear depending on your stature and position:
Your image is your most valuable marketing tool and your wardrobe is one of your most important investments. You should have an appropriate attire for all occasions, from power suits for business and board meetings to sophisticated business causal ensembles for more relaxed meetings or social engagements. Clothes should fit your body well and not dangle. A grey two-piece matched with two shirts: purple and white, and a navy two-piece (an international business staple) matched with two shirts: sky blue Royal Oxford and a sharp white Royal Oxford comes as a basic power dresser guide to formal meetings. Have your clothes well maintained and they will age gracefully and last longer.
Hide your imperfections through a bespoke-tailored shirt:
