In the modern workplace, your clothing isn’t just about style or fashion. It’s a strategic tool that can help you communicate authority, agility, confidence—or, if you’re not intentional, it can undermine those very traits.
One of the most overlooked image challenges men face is aligning how they look with how they want to be perceived.
If you’re younger than your colleagues, you may be fighting to be taken seriously. If you’re older, you may be working to appear current and energetic in a fast-moving environment. In both cases, your wardrobe can help close that perception gap.
That’s exactly what I cover in this short, practical video:
👉 [Watch: How to NOT Look Your Age – At Any Age]
What You’ll Learn:
-
How subtle shifts in fit and style can add or subtract years
-
Why older men should avoid “safe” or outdated choices and lean into clean, current silhouettes
- What younger men, especially those on a tight wardrobe budget, should look for in garments to look more elevated and experienced.
-
How to use style details—like eyewear, shoes, and garment structure—to project age-appropriate perceptions.
These aren’t runway trends or fashion fads—they’re strategic styling insights for the real world of sales calls to boardrooms, client meetings to first job interviews.
Whether you’re building your presence as a rising leader or preserving your edge in a younger workplace, your clothes can either work for you—or against you. The good news? With a few smart updates, you can visually support the professional message you want to send.
