On my travels today picked up catalog of children who have realized the title of legendary Hollywood wardrobe director Edith Head opus “Dress for Success”.

Tongue in cheek aside, looking put together can make all the difference in your own comfort and confidence when going into an interview or on a date or in your everyday demeanour. Looking sharp and smart will set you apart from the crowd, especially if you are middle aged and male in Canada because according to my shallow observations, Canadian men after a certain age seem to get stuck in a look that has passed its time, the visual impression they are conveying is –I don’t look current so my ideas aren’t either-.
