First impressions are important but it doesn't mean men must wear a suit

10/17/11 06:24

I'm sorry to say to the traditionalists out there that a suit doesn't mean success. There are plenty of examples (especially in IT) where making a good first impression when not wearing a suit is very possible. I don't mean to say that one shouldn't dress well. Smart casual can be done in any number of ways and the first impression doesn't exclusively refer to what you're wearing but also includes how you come across to the other side. Are you arrogant when trying to be confident? Are you overcompensating for a weakness when you should be admitting it? These also are important things to think about when discussing first impressions.

Fashion is similar to the stock market in the sense that if everyone rallies around one thing, it becomes popular

A shirt is a shirt and pants are pants. Yes there are differences between what looks good on us and what doesn't depending on your body type and certain differences in cuts of cloth. However, when something really becomes popular (read a lot of people go out and buy it), the mass of people purchasing the item is the process behind trend setting, not the so called "trend setters". The stock market is the same way in it's unreasonable sheep herding mentality. People tend to follow what someone considered a trend setter says and therefore the stock in question rises in price thanks to people buying it. Once the average person realizes that it is they and not the "gods" of fashion that makes things popular, maybe society will become a better place. Right now unfortunately, many people are sheep and can't think for themselves.

We ended up making more costumes then buying because of what the article says; I didn't want to be caught wearing the same costume as someone else and if we made an original one the chances of that were slim to none.
