Fashion In A Suit

Sometimes you just have to hang those jeans and go with more refined look, I know it requires much more effort to put on those stiff pants lol but you wanna make a great first impression in an interview or business meeting with your future employer, client, or partner. The word sophisticated is different from one to another, here's mine :)

Fashion is free and limitless, and as a photographer it's one of the most exciting parts, I get to wear anything that I want, but there is some line we cannot cross, boundaries we set in order to earn something in return- and it's called respect #PREACH lol yeah so lose those denims and basic t-shirts at home, go with more smart-elegance outfit without loosing your own personal touch, and get that contract!



I'd really really reeeaally avoid wearing denim in business meetings, especially on the 'first date', no matter what career fields you are in, denim is a big no-no for me. If it was casual, I'd still wear basic t-shirt but I'd wear it with a suit. A first date always determines how you will do next, so pull something you don't wear on a daily basis.
I also wouldn't recommend any crazy prints, I'd wear something calmer and really show how serious I am in doing business with them.




The next appointment(s) is where I go a little bit loosen up, this stage is usually a treat to a lunch/dinner/play sports, all the fun parts. BUT!!! In my opinion this is how they check your sanity... I personally think this is the most scary part. Yep, on the second date is when they got really judgmental! Do not dress like you have won the project, it still can go wrong.. There will be less business talks, just play, laugh, and telling stories, but while you are telling your fun experience, they are judging you! So yes... Maintain your calmness and laugh just a little, do NOT do any psychotic smiles or scary joker laughs...

When they feel you are perfect for the gig, the next step is SEALING THE DEAL!! This is where I go full blown crazy and bring the thunder!!!..... LOLS Nah, I'd still style business-appropriate but show more attitude in my outfit, dress like you really nailed it. NOT LIKE CIRCUS PERFORMERS COSTUMES, no! but I'd play with more prints and colors, accessorized H2T, and show my personality even more without dissing the element of business attire.




I really believe companies hire/do business with other people for their past performances, projects and experiences, but they also want to see you in person. The question 'How they dress?' can really effect the decision whether you are qualified for the job or not. Tho it still serves as an extra, but why not impress them with both of your works and appearance? ;)
