    The double breasted jacket you have on is perfect, the texture is amazing and the overall chocolate brown colour with beige trouser is excellent.

    Agreed. When I started real estate when I was 19 years old many people at the office made fun of me for wearing such suits,but I felt amazing and could see many of the seasoned agents felt intiminated by me . I hardly knew what i was doing at the time ,yet anyone that met me and didn't know I just started thought I was a complete Boss

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Kelvin, it all depends. Generally speaking DB’s are viewed as more flamboyant. Hence may be frowned upon for a junior banker at a traditional white shoe firm. But properly done in a dark worsted color (navy/gray), it can be done. PROFF
