THE MAN "WITH ИГОЛОЧКИ": STROKES TO THE PORTRAIT
-
In an arsenal of the business man not so it is a lot of tools which would help it to underline individuality of the style and at the same time would not contradict traditional rules of a dress-code. However if skilfully to undertake work on image, and legal details of clothes will help to create an ideal portrait. Professional image-adviser, partner First Impressions Russia Julia Bevzenko shares the councils.
To me is more visible
- Many stylists and professional images-advisers even more often mark, how much popular there are their services at a man's audience. And if earlier among clients-men were, basically, метросексуалы which always looked after itself and were considered as the style and elegance standard today the most part of clients is made by business gentlemen. For them for a long time already not a secret, that the external shape of the manager is a partial reflexion of image of all company. So, in their personal style all should be perfect.

- The purpose is put. But to reach it it is possible not to everyone. The matter is that - our age-old tradition on which with appearance of the man the woman always filled. With whom you go to choose to yourselves new clothes? - With the wife. Whence at you this tie? - The girl has presented. Who has advised to put on such suit? - Mum always considered, that to me such style goes …
To argue it is useless: for the majority of men the basic source of the information on that, "that carry now", was and there is a woman. All well and quite even is convenient, if not one serious risk. As a rule, fine advisers "guess" with the recommendations only in 70 % of cases, and that provided that at them - ideal taste and feeling of style. Absence of these plus own representation how the man should look, lead to such incidents, as a strict suit during a country lunch or shoes with the bent socks, put on in office under a classical suit. The present meeting of amusing and ridiculous examples as it is not necessary to put on, is ours Гордума. Its many representatives, obeying not clear fashionable current (or to the same female councils), put on exclusively in suits of the Italian breed: the wide shoulders, the made narrower waist, a contrast light strip on a dark background. This style латино at all does not approach the majority of our men, at which not such bright type, as at Italians (to it contrast полосочка to the person). Moreover, at the Russian men absolutely other warehouse of a figure – not triangular, but roundish (sloping shoulders, soft contours of hips etc.). Instead of the made narrower Italian cut, our men accept the American or German breed of a jacket and trousers more. But to dare to go against the general representations about a fashion and to get such suit which really advantageously would underline a figure, much does not suffice elementary подкованности - knowledge of rules of compatibility of colours, a choice of suitable accessories and a silhouette. And meanwhile, in it there is nothing other-wordly – at desire it is possible to develop independently feeling of style or to resort to the help of professional advisers.

- Image to order
Where to go, where to move to the one who is really interested in the elegant, stylish both absolutely suitable and co-ordinated clothes? What can offer the Russian market? A huge choice of trade marks, bright brands, boutiques and boutiques in which no wonder and to lose the way. And if to consider that each collection is created within the limits of a certain style direction (classical, sports, romantic, etc.), chances of an error increase. That is why work on ideal clothes is better for beginning with search of the boutique – where the things really approaching you on style are presented, to a figure, a psychological type and external data. An important point in search of such boutique – level of professionalism of advisers. The servile sight and invariable «As to you goes!» - A good variant only for those who likes to amuse the vanity. If you are interested in really competent selection, it is necessary to be ready to patient selection of models. People everything goes whom, - beings mythological …
Alas, quite often happens, that in one of the chosen boutiques it is not possible to pick up an optimum variant. And if it is a question of the main component of clothes of the business man - about a suit, it becomes unique the true decision having sewed to order. Today this service offer the studio working in a different price category. The suit can be ordered and in many salons offering брендовые man's marks (here the liked model will sew specially under you, and, considering initially high cost of a ready business suit, you will not feel an essential difference in the price). As a vivid example of a good combination of level of service, клиентоориентированности and qualitative work I can name The Imperial Tailoring Co.

- Footwear and leather accessories - the details of man's clothes second for the importance to which choice it is accepted to approach not less attentively. In many capital salons today really to pick up ideally sitting footwear and in tone to it a belt, a portfolio and other leather accessories. Those who especially zealously concern the image, can order footwear in the private master. Follow to their example if you are ready to pay adequately for uniqueness and quality. But I will notice, that to order the footwear is sewed extremely long – one pair it is possible to wait from 3 till 6 months!
More simple and accessible decision = a shoe boutique in which collections of different style directions – from classics to sports footwear and casual-models will be presented. Besides – as an example I will result shoe salons-kaskety "Эконика" where man's trade marks of footwear from the Italian designers are presented some. Stylish atmosphere каскетов becomes that pleasant addition who will dare to get new pair qualitative footwear, and the presented collections limited edition will allow to pick up the unique model underlining not less unique image.

- 2 rules and 3 recommendations
Let's talk about the classic. It is that base which will allow to feel free further, skilfully to experiment and use optimum ways for creation of the unique image. But for this purpose, first of all, it is necessary to master laws of classical style.
The main tools of classical style - ideally sitting, strict business suit, nonspottable pastel tones a shirt, in tone to it a tie with hardly distinguishable drawing and the same shades a scarf (for courageous), well-groomed footwear, leather accessories - it is obligatory in tone of footwear. If the suit is sewed professionally, and you bought a shirt and a tie, having consulted to advisers of a boutique and not having forgotten to put on that suit under which plan them to carry, your image, for certain, is close to perfection. With what as practice shows, we have problems - so it with footwear more often. Meanwhile rules of classical man's clothes concerning footwear are simple enough.
First of all - it is not necessary to pursue quantity of footwear. It is better to concentrate on its quality. If you do not suffer widespread mania, do not collect footwear and really adhere only to a classical direction in clothes, it is enough to have 4-5 steams of footwear. Two pairs strict black leather low shoes (оксфордов) - for work at office, for business meetings, negotiations, trips on official actions. The preference is given to black colour first of all, that it is ideally combined with all classical business suits of dark, neutral tones. Third pair - a brown shade - will be pertinent in situations when you choose style casual - informal meetings, the Friday working day at office, etc.
In many countries with softer climate the classical shoe clothes on it also come to an end (кроссовки, house and beach footwear in calculation we do not take). At us the set is supplemented with warm boots - in an ideal, leather and dark. As well as in a case with black оксфордами, it is better to get two warm models. Why two? That the pair served longer, was not worn in and did not lose the form, after everyone socks she should "have a rest" - in an ideal all the day. By the way, the same rule concerns and suits which are necessary for airing regularly, leaving per day not in a case.
Permanent care - one of the basic conditions at whom you will manage to manage such rather small set of footwear. If you work in the western company - pay attention to foreign colleagues. More truly - on degree ухоженности their footwear. They do not neglect simple rules, such as obligatory daily processing by wax or a cream and footwear storage only on wooden распорке. Result - always accurate footwear which finishes a stylish and elegant image of the ideal Man.
