Believe in your Flyness..Conquer your Shyness – Kanye West

         While we would never quote Kanye for any of his ludicrous statements, this one actually has some truth to it. For instance, every now and then you find the male version of Ugly Betty at your workplace. The typical, smart, shy, fashion challenged, be-speckled nerd who’s true potential is hidden behind his baggy clothes and oversized spectacles.

If you’re him, then transforming yourself just got way easier. All you need is the will, Kanye West’ style mantra and some of the moolah you’ve been saving up on by pulling all those late nighters.

First things first

Forego the 5 hour gaming session on the weekend and go to the barbers. Having a sharp haircut and shaving away those whiskers will make a girl look twice.

Eye Contact

Though geek glasses are now quite chic, it helps if your colleagues and friends can look into your eyes while talking to you. Invest in clear good quality contact lenses.

Now straight to the wardrobe

Old, frayed, baggy or greyed..nay nay and nay!

Lose them all.

Sleek slim fit trousers in navy, grey, black and brown are wardrobe essentials. Pair them with shirts of fine cotton that fit you well and let your skin breathe. Polyester and Indian men have always had a poor relationship.

Blazers – no wardrobe is complete without the essential jacket  

  1.    The work jacket- choose a jacket with a medium sized lapel, either peak or notch, depending on your preference. Make sure it fits well. Bespoke Jackets are custom made to flatter your body regardless of your shape so it is worth investing in them.

  2.    The evening jacket- A sleek shawl lapel, two button jacket in either navy or black help increase your swag manifold.

  3.    The sports jacket- for all those informal events where you can pull a smart jacket on and give yourself a chance to confidently speak to that new colleague.

Walking the walk

Pick leather shoes, which are either black or dark brown in colour, so that they compliment most of your new wardrobe buys.

Lastly

Let your personality shine with a slightly quirky tie or bow tie, but keep the star wars one at home.  

Let the force be with you as you transform yourself from Geek to Dapper.
