Suitable Tips and the History of Men’s Suits

How to look sharp in a suit

The suit is becoming more popular for men then it has for the last few decades.

Suits the recession

The recession has something to do with this. While women’s fashions are leaning towards more separates, the suit has come back with a vengeance in menswear. In tough economic times, fashion tends to get more traditional and you can’t get much more traditional than the suit. Trend or not, as corporate image consultants, our advice has always been to dress for success and men look great in suits.

If You Are Too Polite, Will People Think You are Weak?

Celebrity Apprentice

Meekness vs aggressiveness

We don’t watch much TV but the Celebrity Apprentice just started and it’s a lot of fun to watch and learn. Most of our business etiquette training, image and networking presentations revolve about being more self-aware of how you come across to others. The Apprentice gives you amazing examples of social and business interactions and gaffes. Most of the time you gain tips about how to not build rapport. (We tape it on our PVR so that we can dissect and replay the fireworks.)

Tacos for a Business Lunch?

Tips on when and how to smoothly eat a taco

How to eat a taco with class? Don't

I love tacos, but I would never order them at a first-time lunch with a business client. Why? Because they are too darn messy to eat. In my dining etiquette presentations my advice is for people to choose foods that are easy to eat with a knife and fork. That way you can look polished and professional while eating.

Q.

My husband is driving me crazy. I took him to your dining etiquette class put on by the University of Alberta alumni. It was a great evening and his table manners have improved immensely. But he still has one annoying habit that you didn’t address. When he drinks with a straw, he uses it just like a little child. Please give him some tips on how to use a straw properly. He’ll listen to you.

Shoes to Pump Up Your Image

Searching for the Perfect Pumps

We have been having the time of our lives vacationing in Phoenix, Arizona. One of the perks is the shopping here, with humongous choices in one glorious location, the Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale. It has all the flag ship stores like Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Barneys New York, Dillard’s, Nordstrom and too many great boutiques to mention.

You’d think I could find a wardrobe staple here
