or What to Wear, and When

-- Public Appearances

You got rid of the 60 Minutes camera crew, but now you have to appear before the closed Grand Jury hearing and the place is packed!!!  Even if you boss has asked you to make the annual meeting presentation, how you look is important.

Humans evaluate others on a subliminal/prehistoric basis.  First impressions are an emotional response that we may not have any logical control over.  We can learn how to make positive steps to influence those responses.

For your television appearance, if you think what you will say will be more important than how you look, rethink!  Over half of communication is non-verbal.  It’s not what you say, but how you say it, and how you look saying it! 

Here are some recommendations for any “large audience” public appearances.

bullet

Be neat - small flaws are magnified when you are the focus for a large audience.

bullet

Like for TV, outfits of solids colors that  contrast look best.   Navy suit, white shirt, burgundy tie.  (Blue shirt/blue tie fade together at a distance).

bullet

Avoid strong patterns.

bullet

Don’t fade into the background.  Find out what color the  background is before hand and try to contrast with it.

bullet

Make sure your face is lighted (visible) even if you’re showing slides, etc.

bullet

Your shirt is important as a frame for your face, don’t hide it with a vest or sweater.

bullet

Wear nothing that makes noise (jewelry), and try not to hit the microphone.

bullet

Smile!  The audience will likely accept your message if they like you.

bullet

Be animated.  You’re on stage, be an actor!

 And good luck with the Grand Jury!!

Here is a recent testimonial about THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEN'S CLOTHES:

"I received The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes this afternoon, Andy, and it's terrifically useful! Thank you for explaining how to access the various disk components--your instructions helped me to quickly navigate the book.

I particularly like your logical, straightforward approach to each section. I mean to say, it really makes sense to explain why something matters, then how to care for it once you've chosen to incorporate the thing into your life, and then to include a history of the item, which focuses the reader's attention on its intrinsic value to a gentleman's kit.

Your book is more useful than Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th-Century Men's Fashions, because the latter serves as a chronicle not a guide. The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes provides a road map for fellows who wish to understand the choices they make, and who wish to make choices they understand. I am simply delighted with your book!"
-- J.de M. NM
