If a man is 6 feet tall and white, chances he will make more money than others because that’s what data demonstrates. If he’s attractive, he’ll also make more money than somebody who’s unattractive. But the good news is men can take steps that will dramatically impact their earning potential, all backed by science. I want to review the items that will boost earning potential.
Beard. A beard will make you attractive and feel more confident. Men with beards are viewed as more trustworthy, but there’s a caveat. People won’t trust you if the beard’s too long, big, bushy, or unkempt. Ensure your beard is short to medium length, well groomed, and edged.
Rolex watch. People recognize Rolex, and they will automatically give respect even if they are of a higher status. Wearing one will boost your self-esteem and make you more confident. When it comes to making money, whether in sales or getting a promotion, you can wear one and automatically boost your self-esteem. This translates into confidence when you walk into a room.
Navy suit. Tailored to perfection, a standard, solid navy suit will help you ascend that corporate letter and make you more money. Navy is the best color for being trusted, so politicians often wear navy suits.
Tone it down. When earning the most money you can make, tone down fashion risks and thinking outside the box. Super fashion-forward people are different, and sometimes people get weird about that. They don’t know how to interpret it. So, to maximize your career opportunities, tone it down.
High-quality leather shoes. When someone walks into a room and has good shoes, the subliminal message is sent that they respect themselves and are trustworthy. They get the job done and are worthy of your business. These shoes can instantly be noticed. They should be stylish, clean, and presentable.
Belts. Belts kill a lot of guys because they’re beat up, indicating they’re lazy, unkempt, and not responsible. Your belt should also match your shoes and coordinate with your outfit. Anson Belts are the best on the market because they’re interchangeable and don’t have any holes. They work on a track system.
Sport coat. A nice tailored sports coat, whether or not it’s navy or Houndstooth, is a great investment. A sports coat elevates your aesthetic and perception when you walk into a room.
Leather bags and briefcases. If you carry all your crap in a duffel bag or a cheap backpack, people will lose respect for you. You won’t have the same street credibility as somebody carrying a higher-quality item like a leather bag or briefcase. One of these shows that you are professional and appreciate finer things. It’s all about trust as well.
Classic white tailored dress shirt. Dress shirts will make you more money. But they have to be clean, crisp, and tailored. The more your clothing fits you, the more the right messages are sent about you. Invest in tailoring. Plus, the color white since the message that your trustworthy and professional.
Stylish eyewear. Eyewear makes the statement that you’re intelligent and stylish. Get a cool pair of frames that structure your face and make you look more interesting.
Rings. Avoid these in professional environments other than a wedding band. It looks a bit low-class if you’re rocking a bunch of rings.
Jewelry. Avoid bracelets and earrings. You shouldn’t be able to see your chains. Cufflinks and tie bars are a possible investment and a great addition. They send a message that you’re more polished and put together. A tie bar lets people know that you pay attention to details.
Hairstyle. If you’re rocking an outdated style, such as a mullet or a flat top, or using a lot of hair product that makes your hair look crispy, oily, or greasy, people don’t trust you because you’re viewed as outdated or gross. You need to be viewed as hygienic. Look for a style that’s a bit more on the conservative side, even an old-money hairstyle.
How you smell. You need to be careful in the workplace because many people are sensitive to smells. Don’t use a lot of fragrance because it can negatively impact you. Use one or two squirts to make sure it’s subtle and subdued.
