dress to impress
1. Suits are sexy
Ever notice ads show men in suits are always with beautiful women? Women like winners, and an expensive-looking suit invites women to pay more attention to the guy.
2. Suits are for men
Just as boys put away their childhood toys for the “real thing” when they reach manhood, trading the t-shirt for a suit symbolizes the transition from being a kid to being a man.
3. Uniforms give a clear message
Would Yankee fans, Cowboy fans, Laker fans pay to watch their teams play in street clothes? Just as people expect their players to look professional on the field, suits give the audience a clear message the guy means business.
4. Suits can be fun
Suits are no longer limited to strictly job interviews, weddings and funerals. A new generation of sophisticated men wear jackets with a flair for fashion that says they know how to dress-up and party at the same time.
5. Suits are affordable
Handsome suits can be bought for about the same price as a single pair of high-end jeans. Suits costing a few hundred dollars are readily available at most major deparment stores.
6. Suit separates make tailoring obsolete
Used to be that tailoring was the most expensive part of a suit purchase. The advent of suit separates, where a jacket and matching trousers can be bought individually, allowed a man to get a jacket and trousers which fit him perfectly right off the rack, without breaking the bank for extensive alterations.
7. First impressions do count
Just as men judge women on appearance, they do the same for guys except they won’t admit it. Giving the wrong first impression makes the job a lot more difficult, if not impossible. Like parachuting, some times there is no second chance.
8. Suits can be practical
Cell phones, money clips, keys and the like need to put somewhere without looking like your pants are bulging in the wrong places. Besides a jacket is a great thing to hide underarm perspiration.
9. Suits are flattering
Suits can hide that ugly beer belly as well as bulk up the skinny guy. Not every guy has six-pack abs for tight shirts, so a suit can be an excellent cover until a guy develops them.
10. Certain occasions demand suits
Men need suits for interviews, weddings and funerals.
