Guys

Deconstructing the “Look” • Style: Conservative

– Tailored Suits (jackets with slacks; shirt & tie)– Shirts are starched, well pressed, and buttoned at the neck– Ties are generally conservative and work with the shirt to create an accent – Dress shoes blend with or are darker than pants

• Colors: – Suits are solid or subtle patterns in dark or neutral shades– Shirts provide color contrast to jacket & slacks and coordinate with tie

• Accessories:– Ties: solid or small patterns and stripes are common. Shades of red and blue are

standard “power" colors– Socks: Should not be noticeable – should create a harmonious transition from slacks to

shoes– Hair/Nails: Well groomed - neat and clean. Hair should be styled away from the face
