Dressing the Part: Pants & Trousers


Now the third installment of our Dressing the Part guide is going to be on pants. Extremely essential to make sure you wear your pants to work as opposed to not wearing your pants to work.


I want to just go over the basics such as the fit, the fabric and the colours of pants you should make sure you have in your wardrobe. Remember this is just the essentials, or shall we say the bare minimum guide.

Body Language: The Handshake

Oh the dreaded handshake. If you were lucky enough you got some formal training from your mother or father when you were younger.

If you work quiet a bit on the road well you will get a lot of wear out of your coat and it becomes even more important to stay stylish and sophisticated.
