The most common reason for varied and unpredictable results is the lack of a system. A system, or equation, allows you to get consistent results, across the board, as you make your daily decisions. And that is what this episode is all about: The Style Equations that help you up your style game and make the impression you want to.

Most people go in blind when making a clothing purchase. Their reasoning is based very loosely on perceived quality of certain brands, the look that they are going for, and their budget. Unfortunately, this approach will yield unpredictable results at best, and at worst will cause you to waste a lot of money on clothes that are less than ideal for your purpose.

So next time you’re about to make a purchase, stop for a second, and think through the equations listed below. Is it close to a 10 on all three areas of the Timeless Style Equation? Are you emphasising fit, over function, over fabric? Does the Style Theory of Value give it a high score? And when all of these equations really line up, that’s when you know that you’ve got a winner, and you should make the purchase.

Timeless Style = Fit X Function X Fabric

Fit: How well does clothing fit your unique body?

Function: The level of appropriateness and practicality of the clothing based on the given situation

Fabric: The quality and craftsmanship of the materials and constructions

Fit > Function > Fabric

Value = Number of Wears X How it Makes You Feel / Price

Use the three formulas above when considering your next clothing purchase, to avoid buying something you will regret, and ensure that you are buying clothing that serves your purpose.

Style is a lifestyle. Those who have taken the time, and put in the effort to make it a priority and point of focus reap the benefits, and those that, for whatever reason, have never found the time or considered it important enough, are missing out. But style is also just one aspect, and it is important that it not dominate your thoughts and actions! That’s why having a system in place that allows you to buy clothing you like and will wear at good prices, helps you choose the right clothing, and helps you always look good is the focus of this episode.

Have you ever taken your measurements? Do you know other men who have? This is just one of the many ways in which small, easy steps, that would really help men in their style, are routinely skipped over. Asking someone to measure you, or even measuring your current clothing that fits you well, is such a quick and easy step, and it allows you to know with certainty that an article of clothing will be a good fit before even bringing it to the changing room.

That’s just one example of the many ways in which you can build systems and processes into place that help you stay fashionable and well-dressed, without devoting too much resources to it, neither time nor money. From apps, to measurements, to adjustments, to subscription services, you’re going to find out how to stay fashionable everyday, almost on autopilot, on this episode of The Personal Image System Podcast.

Put thought and effort into small steps that you can take now that, over time, will save you a lot of time and help you dress more fashionably.

Finding you brand, the one that works well specifically for you, is an important step, and can help you be more confident when shopping online, or even at a store, that the clothing you are buying is a good choice. But how does one go about finding the right brand? What are the steps? Are there things to look out for along the way? And what if a brand changes over time?

These are all topics discussed on this episode of The Personal Image System Podcast. Because knowing brands, and being aware of what the strengths and weaknesses are of each is not just about the logo, or any social status that comes with it. It’s about finding the brand whose stylistic sensibilities align with yours, and who can help you make the best statement of yourself possible.

That’s why it is very worthwhile to put in the time and effort to explore and carefully analyze different brands continually. Not all brands are even close to equal, and not all brands will work well for you specifically. Learn how to find out what the right ones are, and how to make sure you stay stocked up on the right items from those brands, on this episode of The Personal Image System Podcast!

When you find an article of clothing you love, consider buying more than one item! You never know how long the brand will continue to carry it.

Would you trust a surgeon to operate on your heart, if he showed up in ripped jeans, flip flops and a tank? I hope not…

Most people don’t realize that the way that they present themselves to the world is constantly affecting the way that they are perceived and treated. Not dressing the part of your role in society will often result on your being judged as incompetent or less than professional, even if you are the best in the world at what you do. This is why your own personal image matters so much. It is one of the few things that you can improve that will have huge ramifications in every aspect of your life, whether business or personal.

Yet some men think that it is not manly, or especially masculine, to put effort into your appearances. They are under the false impression that ‘real men’ don’t care about that stuff, and that it is beneath them to actively work to improve their personal image.

But please understand that the way that you present yourself to people, hundreds of times every day, will not have a neutral effect, but either help or hinder you in whatever you’re trying to do. And that’s why I’m putting out this podcast training series. So that you will have the information you need to make an incredible impression on everyone that you meet, and to make sure that your personal image is maximized for success.

Let’s get into it!

Key Takeaways:

Understand that the way you dress is a major vehicle for accomplishing things in this world, and put an appropriate amount of attention and effort into it.
