Recently the viewer Amir left a comment on our video, Things I Get the Most Compliments On. "Raphael, I've been upgrading my style. I used to wear graphic tees, ripped jeans and sneakers and now I wear untucked casual button-ups, dark wash jeans or chinos, and chukka boots. However, I still don't feel satisfied with my current style. The thing is that people around here never dress up. Is there anything wrong with dressing up all the time even to the most casual of occasions? I'm really scared of this step." How Do You Cope With Issues That Arise From Dressing Well? 03:32 1. Whenever You Dress, Consider Appropriateness For example, at a wedding, you never want to out-dress the bride and the groom because it's their day. At the same time, if you go to a funeral, a burgundy or red flannel suit will simply detract from the event and it would be inappropriate. When there's a dress code indicated such as cocktail attire you should not wear black tie because that would be obviously overdressed. 04:04 2. If There Isn’t A Dress Code, Consider Flexibility For example, when you're on a plane you see people wearing sweatpants or a suit so whatever you feel comfortable with works. On the other hand, if you're in a business meeting and you're not the boss the dress code can be pretty much stipulated without being written down. In that case, consider the company culture. There's nothing worse than wearing a three-piece suit in a startup company that simply wears jeans and t-shirts all the time. It makes you look odd and stand out in a weird way. 04:52 3. Dress To Please Yourself Think of dressing as your hobby and it's something that you enjoy. It's about you and what you like to do not about others. 05:02 4. Learn How To Accept A Compliment Graciously So As Not To come Off Arrogant When you dress up more compliments will be coming your way and we did a video on how to accept it like a gentleman here. 05:15 5. Have A Comeback Ready If you're asked why you're dressed up, have a few answers prepared that you can give right away so you don't have to engage in lengthy conversations, shut the conversation down and simply go about your way. By having an appropriate comeback you exude confidence most other people will just leave it at that and won't bother you again. Ideally, you shouldn't go down the rabbit hole of explaining. It's the same politics if you start explaining you're losing. Aggressive or negative people want to engage you in a fight, want to drag you down to their level, and then they beat you with experience so don't do that. The best comebacks are short and sweet. "What did you dress up for today?" "It's Thursday!" Or if you want to be snarky you could say something like "Adulthood." But again that may be seen as offensive. "Why you look so fancy?" "Why not?" "Why are you so well-dressed?" "Because I know how to." "Do you think you're better than us?" "No, dressing up is just my hobby." The sooner you'll accept that judgment will always be around the easier it gets to focus on what you truly want. 06:45 6. Do Not Care What Others Think Of You Personally, I'd say it comes very naturally to me and being on YouTube and being exposed and having that negativity around me just helped me to develop an even thicker skin. There's a good saying along the lines of "What other people think of you is none of your business" and I pretty much agree with that. 07:24 7. Be Authentic, Be You! Authenticity provides you with confidence. People who are confident are perceived in a much different way. Fewer people will want to argue with you and they will accept you for who you are. 07:38 Outfit Rundown #dressingup #notsponsored #howtodressup ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to stay updated?
