MR.X WHEN I'M DONE WITH HIM:
Fashionably speaking, this post is dedicated to internal office improvements.
To be exact, this post is dedicated to my fellow receptionists, secretaries, PA's and anyone who works in close contact with their boss.
Read on if you want to score serious brownie points in guiding your boss in the style department. My inspiration for this blog came from my role of shadowing my boss (let's call him Mr. X) all day, every day. And everywhere I look, I see dowdy men in equally dowdy suits. Consider this a FASHION EMERGENCY!
I must admit, Mr. X does take good care of himself - owed in part to his lovely (and stylish) wife, but either way I'd like to inspire him to improve his overall business look. The first step is the establishment of a genuinely trusting relationship. This may take months to cultivate. But believe me, the end result is worth it.
Secondly, drop subtle hints re: style. Comment on a client's tailored suit jacket, forward menswear sales to his email inbox, pass by the shops on the way to a client lunch.
But also consider the thought that he might be shy of asking for style advice, and would rather find it himself. Direct him to the Art of Manliness - a style website with loads of information regarding fashion, money & career, health & sports, and the cultivation of other manly skills.
The Art of Manliness recently featured '15 Great iPhone Apps for Men', covering everything from tying a half-windsor knot to an SAS survival guide. I recommend 'borrowing' his iphone and downloading these apps immediately.
This week, I'm going to put this guide into practise and report back on how Mr. X responds.
Until next time,
