DRESSING FOR SUCCESS

People say that moving house is the most stressful thing a person can do, but in my opinion job interviews come a close second. We’ve all been there, and as such we all know that it’s important to dress appropriately.


Of course, ‘appropriately’ is entirely subjective and depends on the type of job you are going for.

If it is a traditional professional job like banking or legal then it is appropriate to wear a suit, shirt, and tie and clean shoes - it's surprising how many people will look at your footwear.
I personally recommend British classic shoes as Crockett & Jones, a traditional family owned company, shoemakers since 1879, in Northampton, England.
Each pair of Crockett & Jones takes up to eight weeks to manufacture in a painstaking process wich involves over 200 highly skilled operations.


If your potential job is in a more creative area then you can afford to dress more casually, though never scruffily.


What is important is that whatever you choose to wear, ensure you feel comfortable in it, that way your personality will shine through.


To help give you an edge, why not head over to the Hackett website and peruse some of the buisness shirts and ties available?


While success is not guaranteed, classic British style most certainly is.

WELCOME TO THE MR CLASSIC WORLD


I’m very excited to be entering the world of blogging and hope that you’re pleased to have me. Here I’ll be answering the questions relating to gentlemen’s style that I am so frequently asked, giving commentary on the sartorial issues of the day and generally offering my general musings around subjects that take my fancy (though, most likely, it will have something to do with clothes).


I’ll be aiming to write something every week or so, on topics ranging from how to tie a bow tie to what to wear to the Henley Regatta.


Of course, if you have any burning questions, don’t hesitate to send them my way – I’d be delighted to help.


Kind Regards.

Mr Classic.
