The idea

Clients don't consciously read your clothes. They read whether you seem in control.

Precision does most of that work: correct lengths, pressed cloth, clean shoes. Aim to be slightly more considered than the room, never louder than it.

The capsule

  • 1

    A well-cut jacket

    Navy, charcoal, or stone. Shoulder correct, sleeve at the wrist bone.

  • 2

    A quiet shirt or fine knit

    White, ivory, grey, or navy. Ironed, always.

  • 3

    A tailored trouser or skirt

    One clean break, no pull across the seat.

  • 4

    Polished leather

    A loafer, derby, or low pump — cleaned the night before.

  • 5

    One considered detail

    A watch, a good pen, a well-kept bag. Nothing more.

Styling notes

Keep the whole outfit inside three neutrals. If the client's culture is casual, drop the jacket but keep the fabric quality — a fine knit and a good trouser reads better than a stiff suit in a startup room.

Questions

What should I wear to a first client meeting?

+

A well-cut jacket, a quiet top, tailored trousers, and polished leather shoes. Slightly more considered than the room you're walking into.

How do I dress for a casual client?

+

Drop the jacket, keep the cloth. A fine knit, a clean trouser, and good shoes read as respectful without feeling stiff.

What should I avoid in a client meeting?

+

Loud prints, anything that needs adjusting, unpolished shoes, and a bag you have to dig through in front of them.

Dress with ease, every day.

Free to try. Ready in a moment.
