Meet on clothes. This statement is true for both women and men. Psychologists have found that it takes less than half a minute for any person to make a first impression of a person and about five years to dispel it. And this first and most important impression is almost entirely based on the appearance, and to a lesser extent on the gestures and speech of the interlocutor. There is no second first impression, therefore, in order not to get into a mess, you must carefully approach your appearance. And if a woman can afford some liberties in almost any style of clothing, even business, then such liberties are not permissible for a man. Men's business suit should be classic and elegant. Only in this case, a man will be able to make a proper impression on his business partners.
A good suit speaks as well as possible about its `` owner '': an expensive, well-tailored suit is worn not only by people with high incomes, but also by strong confident personalities. Striped or checked suits are preferred by non-trivial personalities with a strong character. Blue colors stand out for professionals, leaders who prefer an authoritarian style of management, and conservatives choose gray.
An equally important detail of a business suit is a tie, and especially the length of the tie. A tie is the most common accessory in a classic men's suit. Appearing in ancient Rome, it still remains a detail that can bring a twist to the image of a man. And if at first he served as a neckerchief, which protected from colds, served as a sign of a noble estate man, now a tie brings an elegant touch to a business ensemble.
Many men worry about the length of a tie. The length of the tie should be about 140 centimeters. It may differ in different men depending on their height, the main rule: the length of the tie, which is tied, must reach the buckle of the trousers. Therefore, small men should avoid simple knots. Ideal for them can be those options that shorten the length due to multiple turns. Tall men should choose simple knots so that the length of the tie tied is not too short.
It is believed that the color of the tie and its ornament can tell about the character of a man. A dotted pattern gives out a conservative, and a striped pattern - a law-abiding person. All kinds of rhombuses and other uncomplicated figures indicate a high credulity of a man, and circles betray the professionalism of its owner. The blue palette of this business accessory testifies to authority, and the blue color gives out a person who is trusting and flexible. A red tie indicates the assertiveness of its owner and his aggressiveness, both in work and in life. A white tie rarely accompanies a business suit, as it is intended only for formal attire of evening parties. He comes to a tuxedo or tailcoat, while a white tie combined with a business suit is a sign of bad taste.
Modern designers like to experiment with both the texture and the color scheme of the tie. So, Hubert Givenchy offers men various options for ties: with a printed pattern or a weaving pattern. For printed patterns, the designer uses floral motifs on a contrasting background, for weaving - the same floral motifs, but with small flowers to match the background. Claude Montana prefers plain ties, which are worn to match the jacket, or bright, which contrast with him. Jean Patou demonstrates collections that are out of fashion, so the ties of his design are particularly elegant.
Modern fashion does not impose strict requirements on the texture and colors of the tie, relying entirely on the taste of men. A tie is a sure way to emphasize your individuality, so a correctly selected tie will add elegance to a business look.
