- HI, I'M CANDICE CAPRICE

AND I'M FROM PER LEI BOUTIQUE
IN MEDIA PA.

AND I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HOW TO DRESS

FOR SUCCESS WHEN YOU'RE ENTERING

THE WORK WORLD OR GOING ON
YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW.

SO WE FIRST HAVE FRANCESCA.

- HI, FRANCESCA.
- HI.

- FRANCESCA IS A GREAT EXAMPLE
OF HOW TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT HER,

YOU SEE THAT HER MAKE-UP
IS NATURAL AND UNDERSTATED.

HER HAIR IS WELL-GROOMED,
TAKEN CARE OF.

WHEN WE LOOK AT HER JEWELRY,
UNDERSTATED AND PROFESSIONAL.

AND IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY
FROM HER FACE AND PERSONALITY.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE BANGLES
DANGLING.

AND MAYBE JUST ONE NICE
WATCH AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

SO WE LOOK
AT FRANCESCA'S SUIT.

THIS IS A GREAT BASIC SUIT
TO HAVE,

GOING INTO YOUR FIRST INTERVIEW
OR IN THE WORK WORLD.

SHE HAS A TAILORED SUIT ON,
A NICE BASIC COLOR,

BUT WE SEE THAT SHE BRINGS IN
A LITTLE INTEREST

AND PERSONALITY WITH HER SHIRT.

DON'T ALWAYS, YOU KNOW,

THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
THAT WHITE CRISP SHIRT.

SO SHE EXPERIMENTED
WITH SOME COLOR, A NICE PRINT...

TUCKED IN, WHICH IS IMPORTANT,
SO YOU DON'T LOOK TOO SLOPPY.

HER SLEEVES ARE
THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH,

WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU DON'T WANT YOUR SLEEVE
LENGTH TO GO PAST YOUR FINGERS.

AND WE SEE, DOWN TO HER SHOES,

HER HEM-LENGTH IS NICE
WITH THE BLACK BASIC SHOE.

THANK YOU, FRANCESCA.
- THANK YOU.

- NOW LET'S MEET PATRICIA.

HI, PATRICIA.
- HI.

- SO WHEN WE LOOK AT PATRICIA,
WE MAY THINK "SHE LOOKS GREAT",

BUT NOT FOR YOUR INTERVIEW
OR IN THE WORK WORLD.

SHE MAY LOOK NICE GOING OUT

IN THE NIGHTCLUB OR WALKING
AROUND WITH HER GIRLFRIENDS

FOR THE WEEKEND,
BUT JUST NOT THE APPROPRIATE

LOOK TO GET THAT GREAT JOB.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT HER SHOES,

THEY'RE METALLIC, WHICH ISN'T
REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR DAYTIME.

YOU WANT MAYBE
MORE OF A STRUCTURED BASIC SHOE.

AND THEN WE SEE HER LEGGINGS,

WHICH ARE REALLY
IN STYLE RIGHT NOW,

BUT JUST NOT FOR WORK.

AND THEN, PANNING UP,
WE SEE HER PRINTED DRESS.

A LITTLE WILD FOR DAYTIME,

BUT AGAIN, FOR WORK,

IT'S NOT MAYBE THE MOST
APPROPRIATE THING.

WE DO SEE THOUGH, ONE GOOD
PIECE SHE HAS IS A BLAZER.

SO THIS BLAZER, ALTHOUGH NOW,

IS INAPPROPRIATE BECAUSE
THE SLEEVE LENGTH IS TOO LONG,

WE MAY HAVE TO TAILOR IT
TO GET IT TO THE RIGHT LENGTH.

BUT IT'S A NICE STAPLE PIECE

TO HAVE IN YOUR WARDROBE.

ONE OTHER THING
THAT JUST ISN'T RIGHT,

RIGHT NOW, IS HER JEWELRY.

IT'S JUST TOO MUCH.
WE DON'T WANT TO DISTRACT

FROM YOUR PERSONALITY
AND YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A WORKER.

SO WE MAY
WANT TO TAKE OFF THE BANGLES,

PUT ON A PEARL AND A NICE WATCH
AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

PATRICIA'S OUTFIT
IS NOT EVEN APPROPRIATE

FOR A CASUAL-DRESS DAY AT WORK.

AND PATRICIA'S BACK
AND DRESSED APPROPRIATELY,

READY FOR THE WORK WORLD,

IN THIS, YOU KNOW, TAILORED,
SOPHISTICATED

LOOK, AND I WOULD HIRE YOU
IN A SECOND IN THIS OUTFIT.

- THANK YOU.

- I'M BRUCE MIDDLEMAN.

I OWN B. GROSS MENSWEAR
AND PER LEI BOUTIQUE.

FIRST I'M GOING TO
INTRODUCE YOU TO BRAD.

HI, BRAD.
- HOW'RE YOU DOING?

- BRAD'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF
HOW YOU SHOULD DRESS

IN THE WORKPLACE.

STARTING AT THE TOP,
HE'S WELL GROOMED,

HIS HAIR IS CUT,
A GREAT STYLE FOR HIM.

AND WE GET INTO THE SUIT,
IT'S A GREAT FITTING SUIT,

IT'S NOT TOO BAGGY.
IT FITS HIS BODY WELL.

IT'S A YOUTHFUL SUIT
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU

SOME POINTS ON WHAT YOU SHOULD
LOOK FOR IN A SUIT.

THE SLEEVE LENGTH IS PERFECT,

YOU CAN SEE THE SLEEVE LENGTH
IS PERFECT

BECAUSE IT COMES RIGHT
ABOVE THE HAND.

IT HITS YOU IN THE RIGHT SPOT,
IT'S NOT TOO BAGGY,

NOT TOO LONG, NOT TOO SHORT

AND IT'S NOT IN THE PALM
OF HIS HAND.

AND HIS SUIT FITS HIS
SILHOUETTE.

HE'S GOT A NICE BUILD
SO IT COMES IN REAL NICE,

A NICE TAPER, ON HIS BODY.

LOOKING AT THE BACK OF HIS SUIT,
THE SHOULDERS ARE GREAT ON HIM,

THEY'RE NOT TOO BAGGY AND
THE BACK COMES DOWN REAL SMOOTH.

THERE'S NO LUMPS IN THE BACK
OR ANY WRINKLES,

WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.

ALSO IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE A SUIT
WELL TAILORED AND PRESSED.

HIS SUIT IS PRESSED,
IT'S READY TO GO,

HE'S READY FOR AN INTERVIEW
OR THE WORKPLACE.

HIS SHIRT IS GREAT-FITTING,
PRESSED UP IN THE FRONT,

GREAT TIE, GREAT COMBINATION.

THE TIE COMES RIGHT
ABOVE THE BELT BUCKLE,

WHERE IT SHOULD BE,

AND THE BELT MATCHES THE SHOES.

ALWAYS, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS,
IF YOU HAVE BLACK SHOES ON,

A BLACK BELT AND BROWN SHOES,
BROWN BELT.

THE LENGTH OF HIS TROUSERS
ARE PERFECT.

THEY HIT JUST ABOVE THE SHOE,
THEY'RE NOT TOO BAGGY,

THEY'RE JUST ABOVE THE SHOE,

ABOVE THE HEEL AND IT'S NOT
SLOPPY LOOKING AT ALL.

SHOES ARE WELL POLISHED, AND
THAT'S ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING,

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE
YOUR SHOES WELL-POLISHED

AND WELL-KEPT.

IN SUITS, THERE'S A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT STYLES,

THERE'S 2-BUTTON
AND THERE'S 3-BUTTON.

ON A 2-BUTTON SUIT, YOU ALWAYS
BUTTON THE TOP BUTTON,

NEVER BUTTON THE BOTTOM BUTTON.

3-BUTTON SUIT, YOU COULD BUTTON
THE MIDDLE OR THE TOP TWO,

BUT NEVER TOUCH THAT
BOTTOM BUTTON,

IT'S REALLY THERE
FOR ORNAMENTATION.

BRAD IS DRESSED
FOR THE WORKPLACE

AND HE'D BE A GREAT EMPLOYEE.

NEXT, I'D LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU TO BRIAN.

HI, BRIAN.
- HI, BRUCE.

- THE OUTFIT BRIAN HAS ON
IS NOT REALLY EVEN ACCEPTABLE

FOR CASUAL WEAR.

THE FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT
HE'S GOT THAT HAT ON.

YOU SHOULD TAKE THE HAT OFF.

YOU SHOULDN'T WEAR A HAT TO THE
WORKPLACE OR ON A JOB INTERVIEW.

NEXT, HE HAS A SHIRT ON,

A COLLARED SHIRT THAT'S ALL
WRINKLED AND TATTERED

AND IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE.

THEN HE HAS TATTOOS
ON HIS ARMS WHICH,

IF YOU DO HAVE ANY TATTOOS
OR BODY ART,

YOU SHOULD COVER THEM
ON THE INTERVIEW.

GETTING DOWN TO HIS JEANS,
HIS JEANS ARE RUMPLED

AND HIS SNEAKERS
ARE JUST NOT APPROPRIATE.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PUT BRIAN
IN AN OUTFIT THAT IS ACCEPTABLE,

THAT HE COULD WEAR
TO THE WORKPLACE

WHETHER IT BE CASUAL,

NOT NECESSARILY WITH A TIE,

WE COULD PUT A SPORT SHIRT
WITH A COLLAR,

A NICE PAIR OF DRESS PANTS,
SHOES THAT MATCH AND MAYBE,

IF HE WANTS,
A NICE SPORT JACKET

OR A SWEATER TO GO WITH IT.

AND NOW, BRIAN IS BACK.

AS YOU CAN SEE, BRIAN HAS
A GREAT CASUAL OUTFIT ON.

HIS HAIR IS CUT
AND WELL GROOMED,

HE'S GOT A COLLARED SHIRT THAT
IS ACCEPTABLE, LONG SLEEVES,

YOU DON'T SEE ANY TATTOOS.

HE'S GOT A GREAT BELT,
PANTS THAT MATCH,

AND THAT'S AN ACCEPTABLE OUTFIT
FOR THE WORKPLACE.

GREAT OUTFIT, GOOD LUCK, BRIAN.
- THANKS, BRUCE.
