Male Clients Experience

I’m launching a new service shortly that I’ll need to promote and come across well. With that in mind I realised my wardrobe was a bit tired and needed updating.

I have baggy old things for working at home and slightly more respectable outfits for pub lunches with friends. I have a range of suits - summer/winter, country/town. I think (!) it’s relatively easy to dress for formal business meetings and I’ve no shortage of ‘hanging around in baggy type’ clothes. But the one thing I absolutely can't do is smart daywear. I find it especially difficult to get a jacket/blazer, trousers, shoes and shirt that don’t age me by 20 years.

After a chat, we proceed upstairs to my wardrobe and Katie starts pulling clothes out. If she likes them she puts them in either two piles: work or social. But more often she asks the killer question, 'When did you last wear this?' and Katie knowingly puts the item in the ‘charity/gardening clothes’ pile.

Katie has made me think differently of how I want to look… more relaxed and effortless smart in both work and social time. A look I have yet to seem to master… I also now know which clothes are for different parts of my life: work and casual.

So what do I conclude? Buying the right clothes, takes a considered approach. To look really smart, you have to find items that work well together and are versatile. You can try and do this by yourself, or your can use Katie's help to save you time, as she'll do a lot of the research, get her valued opinion. Quite often what she'll find are stunning clothes that work for you that are not the most expensive.
