A Return to Elegance
The dot.com companies are suffering, business casual has turned into weekend casual and sloppy dressers have crossed the line too many times. Wall Street is rethinking the dress code, yacht and country clubs are hiring me to rewrite their dress code, party dresses for little girls are in and women are ready to look feminine again!
I've never been an advocate of slavishly following fashion however, wonderful things are happening. With the Return to Elegance, clothing is becoming more luxurious, dinner parties more lavish, men more dashing and women more feminine.
So, it is out with those clunky heels and old lady shoes and it is in with the low cleavage and slender heels. I'm speaking about shoes here men, not dresses. Pant suits are out, skirts and dresses are in . It is out with the dark, harsh colors in nail polish and lipstick and in with light and approachable looks. Femininity is back! It is out with the stodgy rep ties in heavy fabrics and in with the light weight silk ties in patterns so irresistible that I can't resist touching. It is out with the Docker pants and in with the pleated dress trouser.
So, if you have more " dash than cash "......
MEN: a few great ties and to ensure the best possible choice, bring the jacket with you when shopping. Throw out those boring socks and splurge on the wonderful new looks in subtle patterns and colors. No white or loud patterns in socks. Cuff links, tie pins and suspenders are in for a truly dashing look.
WOMEN: More feminine styling in business suits, sheer stockings (Hanes Silk Reflections make a great choice), softer fabrics in dresses and glamorous evening dresses are back.
Dress to be memorable. Dress to conquer the world and strike a profile for profit. When I say that clothing can make you look good, what I'm really saying is that it makes you look authoritative, powerful, rich, reliable, responsible, friendly and other traits that are meaningful to you and others in business and social situations.
