GREG SPEAKS ON THE ELEMENTS OF DRESSING WELL

In my 33 year career as a merchant tailor and professional speaker, dressing and addressing people regarding their respective images, I know beyond a doubt that people and organizations who project an image of success tend to be more effective, and achieve greater results than others! Only a custom made suit gives the polished and sophisticated look of someone with uncompromising good taste and success. It establishes one’s “rank” just as does the uniform of a General in the military. Respect and confidence draw more success. Many men in tailor-made suits still aren’t well dressed, Being well dressed is truly illusive!

It requires attention to six areas simultaneously:

• PROPER FIT: An individual should be aware of his or her particular fit problems. There is a smooth look of sophistication that only comes with having one's clothing made to his or her individual posture and distribution of measurements.
  
  
• COLORS: Wearing the proper color tones to match your skin, hair and eye colors makes you look your best.
  
  
• STYLE: Capturing the "essence" of an individual's personal style requires selecting a cut and style that is consistent with one's profession, age, body type, and background.
  
  
• FABRICS: Knowing which patterns, colors, weights and finishes that lend themselves to your "look," environment and the demands of your lifestyle.
  
  
• ACCESSORIES: Your "good taste" is projected in how perfectly your shirts, ties and other accessories compliment a suit or sport jacket and slacks. Learn the secrets of how to project a great image, casual or dressy!
  
  
• ON-GOING ATTENTION: Clothing is too often approached as an "event," added when needed, and ignored until the need for replacement comes up! Dressing well is an on-going process that should be kept up regularly.
