Dressing for Success

Damn JD...How'd you know it was me?! LMAO

Wear what makes you feel comfortable gentlemen a relaxed encounter is far more satisfying for everyone!

We have a relaxed enviroment where I work. Some dress professional, some in uniform, some dress casual, some sloppy. If its an 8hr day I'm in uniform; if its a 16hr day I'm sloppy.

When I walk into a meeting with a company wanting to use my consulting services I have to look my best. Basically like a million dollars because the image shores up the $800 dollar an hour fee I will be charging them (minimum).. So I never buy a suit "off the rack" And invest in Ermenegildo Zenga, Brioni, and nice accessories from Prada and Vuitton mainly. You have to "look" the part or they won't buy you.

I pretty much agree with the ladies, a man in a suit is pretty hot...well taking it off of him is actually the hot part to me. Don't get me wrong though if i see "joe" and he is wearing a suit and then i see "dan" and hes just casually dressed I'm not going to think more of the man in the suit. Its just more fun

i don't think it has anything to do with how expensive the outfit is. all men/women should have a good tailor.the FIT is what makes clothes look good/expensive.a fitted suit plus a confident attitude will have all the ladies swooning

For myself, dresses suit my body shape. With a petite, hourglass shaped body I think men appreciate it when I accentuate my softness and femininity. I don't really think about what he might be wearing. Whatever makes him comfortable is fine with me. I'm with the other ladies in loving a man in a suit, though. The powerful, masculine first impression it gives makes me tingle. I love French cuffs, cuff links, monogrammed cuffs. Not only because it looks elegant, but because it draws attention to his hands. There are so many wonderful things that can be done with those hands.

Dressed up: For business 100% wool suit, at least semi-custom. Most are custom. Custom 100% cotton dress shirt. Almost always solid. Avoid French cuffs in front of juries, but not for some non jury hearings, meetings with some business clients, or evening events. Silk tie, French of Italian. Always shined shoes. Nice, but not too flashy watch. No jewelry.

Semi-dressed (depositions or oil business): Custom Sports coat, wool slacks or nice jeans, custom cotton dress shirt. Nice shoes or boots. High quality belt (accessories can make the outfit).

When I'm the client: Jeans and a cotton dress shirt. Occasionally a sports coat.

It's good to know there are those who still appreciate what dressing well says to others...as well as how erotic the sound of a lady's dress being unzipped can be.

Thanks for this topic. I really dig it.
