Dress for Your Success
A familiar mantra that always has been dolled out as failsafe advice because it always elicits results. The way you dress and carry yourself of course has an affect on people’s perception of you. It is quite shocking that strangers, dates, interviewers tend to make seemingly snap judgements of you, studies have shown anywhere from 7 seconds to as a little as 5 seconds from first interaction.
Not only do you only get one chance at a first impression, that opinion of you is at a lightning speed- a trait developed from the time of early human evolution, to quickly make judgements was imperative for our survival in all epochs of development.
These practices have not disappeared but have become underscored in so many facets of our human interaction. Those who realize that by taking into consideration the way they dress, they have unlocked a profound way to control their outward perception to others they come into contact with be it personal or professional. What exactly does “dressing for success” mean?
The secret to that question starts with the hypothetical imperative to tailored clothing that people often don’t realize. By Kantian definition, a hypothetical imperative is a goal that is "the practical necessity of a possible action as means to something else that is willed (or at least which one might possibly will)." To summarize, a rule of conduct that is understood to apply to an individual only if he or she desires a certain end and has chosen (willed) to act on that desire. When it comes to the professional setting, it would be easy to assume that a professional or executive wants to be perceived at the same level as their resume would suggest. Those who work hard (and work smart) want to be perceived as hard working and intelligent and when people are forming their opinions about you in 5 seconds or less- time is of the essence.

PROPORTIONS & FIT
Perception is Reality: In order of importance, your clothing proportions is truly the biggest secret to looking your best. Not only is it the first thing people will notice about you, it’s the first difference you’ll notice about yourself when things just fall into place. We manipulate and control these attributes by teleological means of length, circumference and posture of our client. While it is true that nobody is perfect, it is also true that “no body” is perfect but through a custom cut, we can account for everyone’s unique physique to make the perfect cut for the wearer- and really no one else.
INVEST PREMIUM TEXTILES ( & Yourself)
The fabric that comprises your garment is directly correlated to how often you’d want to wear your custom piece and the function that it has in wardrobe. Some fabrics are made to be worn hard, workhorses meant for heavy commutes, long hours and utility, while some fabrics are meant to be luxurious and soft, brining you a new life for a special occasion that will be cherished over a lifetime. The power is given to the client to decide the experience they want and the utility they require- however by investing in any premium Italian or English textiles, no matter the selection the textiles are the best in the world are meant to be donned over a lifetime saving you time replacing and more time enjoying.
DESIGN & STYLE
Dependent on what the intention of the custom piece, for the sake of professional or business wear, less is often more and you want to match the tone or aesthetic of your suit design to industry standards. With any of the premium textiles we offer, they are built to last which is why we always encourage classic and timeless style that will be suitable for this year’s wedding or a night out on the town 15 years from now- we believe in style that lasts for years, not for a fashion that is fickle.
