• Black, it goes with everything ?
Often I am asked : “what if i wear black, it's good"
Non, black does not necessarily claim good taste ! Especially if it is associated with materials and colors that are not very subtle.
It exists, for every skin tone, a dark palette that will mark your uniqueness to the reader of your CV or your article.
• So red ? that's happy !
Yes, if we know how to dose it subtly… otherwise we will only retain the red jacket in the foreground but not your image as a whole.
And so you will lose the non-verbal message you want to communicate around consistency…
Too many stories kill the intended message !
Pay attention to the excess and overstatement of details in your outfit, no disparate styles in clothing or accumulation of jewelry. Thinking to be on “your 31” and look neat, you will have the opposite effect on your interlocutor. It will leave a vision of your image, scattered, unstructured and non-hierarchical. Consider a few tenths of a second that you are not quite representative of the specific area.
So in summary ...
To appear successful and be congruent with the values that you want to release at a first impression, Optimize your chances by being accompanied by an expert in defining your professional image !
