At some point, there comes a time when we need to step back and evaluate where we are in this life. More specifically, we have to take some time to evaluate where we are in our career. Are you where you want to be? Five years ago, somebody asked you where you see yourself in five years. Are you there yet?
One of the ways we gauge where we are and how we are doing in life is by the way we dress. We remember when we were first starting out and had only one, probably ill-fitting suit with a pair of decent shoes and a couple of ties. Now, we understand that clothes very often do make the man.
Suits and casual wear are important factors in style, to be sure, but what separates a gentleman of quality is his ability to see that the details matter. Accessories matter. A new suit on its own is only a small part of the total package. Mens exotic shoes, like alligator skin shoes, crocodile skin shoes, or a nice pair of Italian loafers paired with a luxury leather belt can complete an ensemble, taking it from the mundane to the courageous and exciting.
Once you have the suit or suits you need, take some time to choose your footwear. If you have never had the experience of owning and wearing a pair of mens exotic shoes, you are denying yourself one of the great pleasures of footwear. Mens exotic shoes are not just one thing. They can range from the Italian leather shoes you might find in higher end shoe stores, to the most exotic of them all, like mens eel skin shoes, or ostrich skin boots for men.
What always makes mens exotic shoes so brilliant is the way in which the adapt to your feet over time. They become almost like they are a part of you. Comfort is a wonderful advantage. You become so accustomed to the way your feet behave when you wear them, you might never be able to go back to anything less for the rest of your days.
What may not come as much of a surprise to you is the fact that men’s shoes make up only 6% of the total shoe market. Even so, there has been a tradition of great men’s footwear for a very long time. Most men like to keep their dress shoes simple. But that surely doesn’t mean that we have to skimp on the quality of our shoes.
In the five years between 2009 and 2014, the men’s shoe market saw a nice increase of its own. A retail sales growth of 39% is a demonstration of the fact that more men are investing in what they wear on their feet if nothing else. Mens exotic shoes along with many other types of shoes have been coming off the shelves in great numbers. Men are caring about how they present themselves.
One of the greatest problems that men will face is being unemployed or having a dream to do more with their lives but finding themselves stuck. In either case, whether you find yourself looking for a new job or presenting yourself to a new opportunity, a quality suit is the basis of what you need but you are not going to be complete unless you accessorize.
Imagine the situation if you were on the other side of the table. Imagine if you were looking at candidate after candidate as they come through. You would very easily be able to tell who has their act together and cares about how they present themselves. You already know what a confident, capable person looks like. The look like someone who can take care of the whole package. Someone who can accessorize.
There have been many psychological studies that have revealed just how important first impressions are. First impressions are formed within 7 to 17 seconds and more than half of person’s opinion is based completely on physical appearance.
In these days of tough times and difficult job markets, looking your best has never been more important. Take the time to chose your accessories wisely. When you look good, you feel good. A quality suit and accessories can bring you the edge.
