Smart Ideas To Be In Style Without Burning Holes In Your Pockets

Deciding to stay in style for the rest of your life is not that easy particularly to us dads who could be both time poor and money poor due to our many responsibilities. In connection to this, shopping for clothes could be a very dreadful thing to undertake. But did you know that we can actually get through this in a breeze if we just have the right tool? (I bet these are the same tools which wise women shoppers use when having a wardrobe update). This tool is the selection system that includes three important elements – fit, fabric and style.

Fit is the topmost element as far as smart fashion for men is concerned. It is an obvious indicator that tells you whether you look elegant or sloppy in your outfit. If the clothes you are considering don’t fit, do not purchase it even though if it is branded. 

Next is fabric. Usually the clothes’ fit on you depend on the quality and type of the fabric used. Fabric is also key to wearing comfortable clothes in different weather conditions. If the fabric is quite heavy, you are less likely to enjoy your clothes albeit their nice fit.

Last is the style. This is where your strong personal preferences set in. For us dads, going with the trend would not work. Trends in general are for the younger ones. Choosing timeless cuts is what will save our faces and our budget.

By taking time to apply this selection system, you need not worry about having more than enough clothes to wear and lacking huge amount of money exclusively for shopping. Keep pairs of classic pieces which you can mix and match for all kinds of events. With that, your clothing concerns for the whole year will be solved.

Quitting Your Job In Style - The Modest Way To Do It

Being in style is not just all about putting on good clothes and outstanding grooming skills. It also includes the way you talk and relate with other people and carry yourself around. The same is true with your work etiquette. It starts from the time you enter a company, worked in it for a time and until the time you decide to leave it for good.

Now, how do you quit your job in style and without harbouring ill feelings with the co-workers with whom you have served the same company for months or years?

Pick the right timing – Are you leaving at a season or time when there is lots of work to accomplish? If yes, you are most likely to make your co-employees hate you as they will be left helpless with the deadlines. As a courtesy, choose a time when manpower is not in demand so that you can still help out.

Have the right reasons – Are you resigning for greener pastures, personal growth or because of a heated argument with your boss or co-employee? Your answer to this question will reveal if you are doing the right move.

Make early notifications – Never surprise the people in your company with a resignation letter done overnight. Give them at least two weeks’ notice or a longer time to find and train a replacement for the position you are going to leave. Such action is both polite and stylish.

Don’t let your boss to be the last person to know – This must be done out of respect to the authority above you. Telling your co-workers first allows them to make wrong interpretations and rumors. This is very unprofessional.

Prepare for a personal conversation – Whatever your concerns are for leaving, never send them through an email or text or a letter. Talk to your boss in person and prepare a positive conversation.
