There is a common question a lot of men ask. It is “how do others perceive me?”. Have you ever LOST an opportunity in business or in a relationship and just didn’t know WHY? It could be an IMAGE PROBLEM.
Everyone is uniquely different: therefore not every fashion trend is going to look right on you. This is why it is very important to follow the following steps before you shop:
1. Determine what colors and are going to work best with your physical coloring (skin color, hair color, eye color) crucial when choosing fabric colors. Colors can brighten your face and bring you forward or they can wash you out and make you look sallow.

2. Determine your Body Type: (big and tall, short and slim, athletic, rotund etc.) Crucial when choosing styles and creating the correct silhouette for your body’s form: Pleats versus plain front trousers makes a huge difference on an individual who is conscious of their middle section.

3. Consider your Activity level: crucial when choosing fabrics: silk vs. high performance worsteds.

4. Consider your Lifestyle socially and in business. Determines the types of fashion you will need the most.

5. Consider your profession: An engineer will have different fashion needs from an attorney, or the editor of a magazine: the well tailored suit vs. well tailored business casual. Why well tailored? There’s no reason for anyone to look sloppy and having the right fit is SOMETHING SHE DEFINITELY NOTICES. Details are considered very important.

6. Consider Your Personality: Your apparel will create an individual flair and “The Statement” you wish to project.

7. Consider the Image you wish to convey: Studies show 30 seconds is how long it takes for a first impression. In those 30 seconds you are judged on many things, including: Education, Sophistication, Trustworthiness, Social Standing, Success, and Competence. The results are based almost entirely on visual cues. Appearance does count! And first impressions affect salaries, career advancement and the influence you will have on others.

8. Consider your personal likes and dislikes: determines what to look into and what to stay away from.

9. Consider the climate in your area: determines fabrics and types of clothing needed.

10. Consider your formal wear needs: Every gentleman needs at least one tuxedo in his closet. And if you are going to be your best, you better get this one RIGHT FOR HER in social settings.

Though it is great to pay attention to which shades suit you and which shade pairs best with another one, it is also great fun to try and understand the associations that each color you choose to wear has. Maybe you can then express your personality in shades that are associated with your particular traits.
 
Red

Red, like I said before, is synonymous to passion, attention and dominance. If you add a dash of red in your wardrobe, you will feel energetic, happy but make sure it’s a cooler day otherwise it can trigger anger as well!
 
Black
 
A man who sports black implies confidence, authority, sophistication and class. If you combine black with the right shades and wear it properly, it can also look austere and simple. 
 
White
 
Spotless white, when worn, implies that the person wearing it has a high social status. White clothing is a sign of virtue and can give you an extremely clean appearance.

Pink Or Peach

It has both energetic and calming qualities and also projects a man who is secure in his sense of self and is not afraid to experiment with what is perceived as a feminine color. 
 
Blue

Blue, again a very popular color in men’s fashion, implies that the person wearing it is a warm and honest person. It can also convey that the guy is someone who is serious and intelligent.
 
Yellow

A dash of yellow to your outfit can cheer up your look.

Burgundy

Colors like burgundy also convey a sense of status and high class.
 
Earthy Colors

Earthy colors like green and brown look terrific on men, especially in the winters.
