Section: Building Your Wardrobe - Blog
When you walk into a client's office, you want to look sharp and confident. However, you have zero chance of projecting a confident image if your suit jacket and trouser pockets are stuffed with your gear. A better solution? Briefcases, computer cases, and other types of men's bags can save the day - and your image.
Mario Puzo, Italian-American author, wrote: “A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns.” You probably didn't realize how important your briefcase is!
The best men's accessories for carrying cash, office supplies, important papers and so on are briefcases, men's bags, satchels and computer cases. After all, most men carry more with them than their clothing pockets can accomodate.
We recommend at least one dark coloured briefcase or satchel bag as a wardrobe accessory. Black or dark brown briefcases or satchel bags are safe choices, and a leather case is a classic accessory.
These complement most men's business suits.
Do you travel frequently for business? If so, we recommend you keep two cases with you:
Dark coloured briefcases with simple designs are acceptable for use in formal situations. Lighter coloured briefcases and satchel bags with more elaborate designs are more informal.
Just like ties, shoes and other accessories, a briefcase's function is to complement your overall appearance, not to attract attention to itself. While you don't want to mar that all important first impression by carrying a shoddy bag, you don't want to go overboard either.
If you'd like some personal advice on matching your briefcase and other accessories to your suits and sports coats, pop by our showrooms and spend some time with one of our style specialists. We'll polish up your image from head to toe!
