Business Professional - Men• Invest in your Suit; SPEND SOME MONEY
– Quality is cheap in the long run– Get it tailored, make sure it fits (sleeves not too long, pants
not too high or too long)
• Nothing Flashy (Try Dark Navy or Charcoal)– Don’t try to send a fashion statement
• Single Breasted is better than Double Breasted• 2 or 3 buttons (always leave bottom button
unbuttoned)• Cheap accessories can ruin an expensive suit

Shoes & Ties & Belts• The color of your belt & shoes must match• I suggest shoes with laces (Black will go with everything)• Shoes can make or break the suit, buy some high quality
shoes that shine• Polish your shoes• Socks need to be long enough to cover your leg when your
legs are crossed• Belts can be of medium quality as long as they look good• A cheap tie can ruin a suit • Make sure your tie is conservative, no crazy designs or
logos of your favorite cartoon characters
