Hi.
Iím Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Man Real Style.
And today weíre to be talking about why dressing sharp is simple for men.
Okay.

By doing that, these videos will come right to you.
In addition, I would appreciate it if you would like the video if you do like it.
That way I can create more like this.
And if you want to learn more about what Iím talking about here in the video, then, please,
go to the article I linked to right over here.
And youíre going to find some great informative article, so you can learn more about what
weíre talking about here.
Okay.
So, Iím talking about dressing sharp and how itís really easy for guys.
And thatís true.
Now, perfecting a professional appearance, thatís really hard.
And I think thereís an engineer ñ or maybe itís an operations principle and it talks
about how getting ñ and I think itís something to do with Six Sigma.
I canít remember from my operations class years ago.
But it talked about how to get to the 90th percentile.
Itís actually pretty easy.
You just have to put forth a number of proven practices and effort, you know, enough effort,
youíre going to get to the 90th.
But to go from the 90 to 95 is actually just as difficult as to get that first 90 percentage.
And then to go from 95 to 97 is just as hard.
And then, you know ñ so, you can see how it gets ñ it gets much harder as you get
closer to perfection.
But the key point Iím trying to make is to get that first huge gain.
Itís really easy.
And itís something that most men can do because itís really ñ itís relative because most
men out there are oblivious to style.
They donít even pay attention to it despite being incredibly superficial.
Because think about, youíre with a bunch of guys who are in a bar or walking down the
street.
And woman walks by in a red dress.
Do we notice that sheís carrying a book?
Do we notice that she probably has maybe a Harvard MBA?
No.
We donít pay attention.
I mean, we just noticed that wow, thatís a, you know ñ well, you know what goes through
our mind.
We ñ and as men, itís funny because we are very much a visual ñ and we think that, yes,
I ñ we think that the fairer sex doesnít pay attention to this stuff.
They do.
And other guys actually pay attention to this because ñ and why do want to dress well for
other guys?
Well, because you want to have great business partners.
And people want to have good business partners who are healthy, who are going to be around.
And when you dress sharp, you give off a strong masculine appearance and feeling.
And whether or not itís for business, whether or not itís for a potential partner, you
want people to be attracted to you.
Okay.
So, what are the three tips?
First off, all you have to do is realize that as a man, we donít have to focus on fashion
because fashion is moving all over the place.
What you need to focus on is style.
And style is timeless.
So, lucky for us, if you understand classic style, you can look at icons 20 years ago,
you could ñ I mean, look at Cary Grant.
They guy could walk out of a 1950s movie and he would still look great walking down New
York City in the year 2011.
And that makes it really easy for us because we can apply principles, which are proven
and we can spend a little bit more money on it knowing that itís not going to go out
of fashion.
So, avoid the fashion.
Look towards classic style.
Youíre going to be safe.
And the other is focus on fit.
So, so many guys never even think to take their clothing to a tailor and have it adjusted
to fit them.
Or when they buy it off the rack, they donít think to ñ well, check in the mirror and
make sure this fits me right.
So, understand what proper fit is and then make sure your clothing fits you.
Finally, the third tip.
You can add two things to your wardrobe, which are instantly going to take it to the next
level, even if youíre a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy.
Upgrade your shoes and wear a jacket.
So, look at a lot of those start-up CEOs.
And I saw ñ it was a joke.
Itís what supposed to be ñ a start-up company, you know, a founder or a college student and
the CEO?
Well, itís really ñ itís a jacket.
Because he throws on that jacket over his t-shirt and he go on and he pitches the venture
capitalist for the money.
And itís ñ but itís really true.
Because you throw a jacket on a guy and it instantly changes his shape and the perception.
And he wears a t-shirt underneath it or a collared shirt.
Either way, you know, just having that jacket on sends a signal that itís a bit more professional.
That he does pay attention to the small details.
Now, your shoes.
This is where itís very easy for a lot of guys to make that upgrade because so many
of us wear running shoes, trainers, whatever you want to call them.
Weíre wearing those all the time.
And we need to step away and look at ñ okay, you could get a pair of leather slip-ons.
You could upgrade the dress shoes.
I like to wear a Western boots.
You know, introducing something like thatÖ
Öinstantly bring a level of style.
Especially if you go with something that is well made, well crafted, and you know, I understand
not everyone is into Western boots or dress shoes.
Well, get a really nice pair of red wings.
And thatís going to look better than your trainers, especially if theyíre clean and
theyíre well kept.
And I mean those are great boots.
Theyíre going to last you, you know, 20 years and you can have those things resold.
Okay.
So, those were the tips.
And again guys, itís really easy to go from 0 to that 90 percentage.
Once you start going up higher, look at my other videos and Iíll give you lots of other
tips that youíll need.
Take care.
