The most common sins clothes

Clothes make the man, this is nowhere more so than in business. Stands and falls with the outfit, the positive impression. What combinations you should avoid.

Colours and patterns

Jacket, striped shirt and a red tie are a bit too much.
A rule of thumb for colour and pattern is less is often more.

Open jacket

The jacket should always be closed when standing. The bottom button is left open.

Too long sleeves

The sleeves should be about two inches longer than the sleeves of the jacket. The shirt cuff should touch the base of the thumb when the arm is extended.

Full shirt pocket

If you are not a doctor, you do not put stuff into your shirt pocket as pencils, cell phone or cigarette box! The shirt pocket should be pure and decoration should not be used.

Flashy wristwatch

Always be aware of your impact on others. An expensive watch can certainly stimulate an interesting small talk, but also bring the opposite. An expensive clock can also be intrusive.

This affect rubber bands on watches, though they are fashionable, but are not appropriate in a business environment. In this case, you had better pick up the classic wristwatch.

Shoes

Nothing ruins the impression as the old or dirty shoes. Brush your shoes regularly, pay attention to a good shoe sole. For shoes, the rule of thumb is that a shoe to suit always has a leather sole or better yet completely of leather.

Black suit, brown shoes

Include a black suit black shoes and a black belt. A brown belt or brown shoes do not look good with a black suit. However, they can be dark blue, grey and beige suits with brown shoes and a brown belt.

White sports socks

The combination of white sports socks with a black suit is one of the most common sins clothes. Avoid this combination really! For socks is generally that they have to be long.

Tying tie to the right length

The tie should end right at trouser button, which means it covers the belt buckle in half.

The beard

Especially the beard you should carefully consider what kind of impression you want to leave in the company. A three-day beard neither is maintained nor exudes professionalism.
