Professional attire is going to cost some money, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. Truly professional attire means buying high-quality pieces and suits instead of simply choosing a lot of them. In most professions, you will need at least a couple of suits so that you can avoid wearing the same clothes every day. Buy one or two good black suits, and then, if you can afford them, a blue and a gray one. Pay the extra money to get them fitted or tailored to ensure you look your best.
You also will want to buy good, wrinkle-free dress shirts so that you can travel and work long hours without looking like a wrinkly mess. Buy ties that are not distracting and make a statement about your level of commitment. Colors are okay, but stick with solids or professional patterns. Dress sweaters can make a nice change from tie-and-shirt combos. Keep these suggestions in mind, and you will not go wrong in your professional attire for men.
