How important is a first impression? The answer you’re looking for is: very. When you consider the fact that it’s estimated people make their first impression within 3 seconds of meeting you, there really isn’t much time to waste.
And whether you like it or not, before anything comes out of your mouth, the person you meet will cast their eyes over your attire. What they see will have a big effect on their impression of you, so you’ve got to get it right.
Do you want them to see a ballooning, creased, ill-fitting shirt that gapes at the neck and hangs past your bottom? Or do you want them to see a beautifully hand-made, finely tailored shirt that fits your body perfectly? What will your tailored shirt say about you?
I’m guessing you answered yes to the latter scenario. Whether you’re at a business meeting, the theatre, or a party, you need to look your best. You never know who you’ll meet, so there’s no harm in donning your favourite bespoke, tailor-made shirt so that their first impression of you is a positive one.
It’s true that men’s shirts say a lot about a person. Anyone can pop along to the high street and grab an off-the-peg shirt in roughly their size. There are literally thousands of shirts to choose from, all having been mass-produced. But you’re not going to get the made-to-measure quality you’d find with a bespoke, tailor-made shirt.
And if you’re worried about the price, don’t be. You have to remember that the price of a bog-standard high street shirt can vary from £30 to a staggering £100 plus. And that’s for a shirt that won’t fit properly, and is more than likely hanging in the wardrobe of half of your friends. Wear an off-the-peg shirt, and you just need to step onto the high street to see someone wearing the exact same one.
On the other hand, you can stand out from the crowd for less money than you’d think. You can get a bespoke, tailor-made shirt for just £52.99 from places like Curtis&Dyer, who hand make all their shirts to fit the buyer perfectly. So, for the price of a high-street brand, you’re getting something that is truly special and unique.
What’s even more interesting is that you can order them online, supplying your measurements to a website and have your shirt delivered right to your door.
And unlike an off-the-peg shirt, when choosing a tailor-made shirt you’re able to specify not only the exact measurements to fit your neck, arms, and chest, but also the weave, buttons, collar design and shirttail. And not only that, you can also design the pockets, cuffs, and fabric pattern so the finished article is unique to you.
So there really is no excuse when it comes to making a great first impression. If you’re wearing a bespoke, tailor-made shirt, then 3 seconds is more than enough time for you to make a positive impression on anyone.
