So I was infront of my office building smoking my pipe when four young men, between 20-35 approached me and complimenting me on my suit. And the interesting thing was they all wanted to change and dress better but each had their reason for not. One was because the clothes he had was a little big because of weight loss, another was the opposite because he had gained a a few pounds and was trying to loose it. A third was because he was not sure about how to match and he had a couple of suits and shirts but did not know to make it so they were not the same all the time. The last was because he felt he could not afford buy new clothes. Now here is the thing, all of these gentlemen said they had been watch different things on the internet basically YouTube, that had them feeling like they had to have the right size, right, length, certain materials, and certain styles, and mainly name brand clothing. Gentlemen we have to do better, we are over emphasizing way to much on certain styles, tailored clothing, that men are made to feel that if it’s not the exact size, the exact length, exact material, or matching to someone’s standard then they will be made fun of or judge. Now I know some will disagree with what I told them and that is fine, it’s your opinion. I told these men, “ wear what you have, what you can afford , and what makes you feel that you leveled up.” “Because whatever you wear will make you 10x better looking then most of the men that are walking around. I told them that if your jacket is a little long so be it wear it and when you can afford take it to a tailor, your shirts are a little tight, but you are working on your weight, wear a suit jacket or a vest if it makes you feel better, put on a tie that will help cover the buttons. If you only have a couple of suits, you can mix jackets with other pants and vice versus . And I told them they can go to Places like Good Will and find great deals on suits , shirts, and even some shoe. If you have to get your shirts from Walmart it’s okay, whatever you wear it will be 10x better than what most men are wearing nowadays.
