College to Corporate
A smooth transition calls for four basic mathematical actions to build up a powerful Image
1. Addition - A dark coloured formal suit which you can use for evening formal sets-ups and interviews. Make sure that the colour suits your skin one and it fits really well . Formal black/brown shoes ( With dark matching socks)are an item which you will rarely find in a boys wardrobe . Find a good quality shoe and pair it up with your suit and formal trousers .
2. Subtraction - Baggy jeans , Loose or hung neck Tees , ill fitted clothes , faded shirts and worn out shoes . Bright neon or big prints .
3. Multiply -
a. Shirts -Start with basic staples like a white and a light blue dress shirt and keep on multiplying these evergreen formal pieces . By the time you are two to three years old in your job you can have three to four crisp white shirts( With different details ) which fit you very well .
b. Trousers -Same multiplication can be done with basic black /grey / beige trousers .
c. Accessories - Ties , Pocket square , Tie-pins etc
4. Divide - Divide your wardrobe into smart casual , weekend clothing and Business formal. It will save lot of time and energy . The formal clothing usually comes at a good price , hence keep it covered and well protected .
