- Invest in Grooming<\/strong>\u2014An amazing way to ensure that you look like a million bucks is to focus on your skin and hair. Learn how to shave like a pro with a safety razor<\/a> and a shaving brush for a silky-soft, irritation-free shave and spend time finding a skincare routine that works for you. While cutting your hair short isn\u2019t a prerequisite for success (we\u2019re looking at you, Richard Branson), keeping it neat and clean definitely is. By the time you\u2019re in a full-time job, you should have your men\u2019s hair products and routine down pat<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Get Yourself a Signature Look<\/strong>\u2014Just because you\u2019re trying to be taken seriously doesn\u2019t mean you have to dress super-seriously all the time. Think about Facebook Co-Founder Mark Zuckerberg, who once admitted that he wears pretty much the same clothes every day<\/a> to minimize the number of decisions he has to make. And then, of course, you have Steve Jobs\u2019 signature black turtleneck and Daymond John\u2019s perfectly tailored suit. What do these style choices tell us? They help people remember you so you stand out in a sea of competitors. Give yourself a signature look or a signature fragrance<\/a>\u2014just make sure you don’t smell like an entire bottle when you walk in, a few spritzes are all you need.<\/li>\n
- Buy High-Quality Clothing<\/strong>\u2014Rather than spending a ton on lots of clothes, invest in fewer high-quality ones that are less likely to wrinkle or wear out after too many washes. Think about picking up office-friendly \u201cperformance\u201d clothes that wick away moisture so you don\u2019t have big, embarrassing pit stains after that all-day conference or high-pressure board meeting. Also, as a soon-to-be CEO, you need to know the difference between different types of menswear fabrics and when to wear them. There\u2019s a time and place for wool, polyester, cotton, linen and denim. Get to know them!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Get a Suit Tailored<\/strong>\u2014Guys, it\u2019s a fact of life. One tailored suit is better than five ill-fitting ones. And here\u2019s the amazing thing. If you\u2019re on a budget, just buy a cheap suit off the rack from Macy\u2019s or Amazon (you can get one for under $100), take it to a local tailor (ranges from $50 to $150, depending on what you need done) and voila! You\u2019ve got a custom, perfectly tailored suit for under $250. If you work in an office with a casual or business-casual dress code, you\u2019ll probably only need to wear it once or twice a year.<\/li>\n
- Master Body Language<\/strong>\u2014If you haven\u2019t already, go listen to Amy Cuddy\u2019s game-changing TED Talk, \u201cFake it ‘Til You Become It<\/a>,\u201d where she emphasises the power of emulating strong body language to effectively \u201ctrick\u201d others (and ourselves) into thinking we\u2019re confident. Cuddy\u2019s presentation proves what we in business already know\u2014confidence begets success and vice versa. By mimicking the behaviour of a confident, powerful person, we experience a positive behavioral outcome. People think we\u2019re self-assured and, therefore, successful, while we actually perform better, too.<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t Over-Accessorize<\/strong>\u2014It\u2019s important to keep it classy and minimalistic on the accessories so you don\u2019t send the wrong message. Over-accessorizing can take away from the look you\u2019re trying to convey and distract the people you\u2019re talking to. We recommend investing in one or two higher-end accessories to add a wow factor to your look rather than piling on the extras. For example, pick an over-the-top belt, but don’t do n over-the-top belt and an over-the-top tie. Do one and make it your thing. Subtlety is key, but that doesn\u2019t mean your look should be devoid of personality! Find little ways to infuse it into your style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Wear More Solids<\/strong>\u2014You should also figure out a way to keep it simple with your clothes. That is, as much as you love them, ditch your favourite band and brewery tees in favour of styles that are more neutral and less distracting. Take big-thinking CEO and SpaceX\/Tesla leader Elon Musk, for example. Whether it\u2019s a high-end red carpet look or a dressed-down day at the office, the guy is pretty much always wearing some combination of solid black and white. Mimic his style by wearing a pair of dark wash blue jeans (and getting them properly tailored) and pairing them with a plain black tee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Know How to Dress for the Situation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
One thing all modern CEOs have in common, style-wise? Though they might have their signatures, they all know when it\u2019s time to dress up and when it\u2019s time to dress down. Even Mr. T-Shirt-and-Jeans Zuckerberg shows up to certain occasions (ahem, court<\/a>) in a suit and tie. It\u2019s all about being comfortable in your own skin and rocking whatever you\u2019re wearing with confidence. If you can do that, you can win anyone over!<\/p>\n
