Okay, so I saw this “Donald Trump Dress to Impress” thing trending and, well, I got curious. I’m not a huge fashion guy, but I thought, “Why not? Let’s see what this is all about.” It’s more about understanding a style, right? Not really copying it.
First, I watched some videos of Trump. Just to get a general sense of his look. It’s pretty consistent, you know? Always a suit, usually dark – navy or gray, I think. And that red tie. It’s, like, his signature thing.
The Experiment:
- The Suit: I don’t own a super expensive suit, but I do have a decent navy one. I put it on and immediately felt…different. More…powerful? I don’t know, it’s weird.
- The Shirt: I usually go for patterned shirts, but Trump seems to stick with plain white. So, I swapped my usual for a crisp white shirt. It felt strangely formal.
- The Tie: This was the key, right? I don’t own any power ties and I went out and bought a bright red silk one. It had to be solid red, though. No patterns. I tied it up—longer than I usually do, like Trump.
- The Hair: Okay, I didn’t go full combover. I just tried to make my hair a little…bigger. More volume. I used some product and puffed it up a bit. It looked…interesting.
- The ShoesI polished my dress shoes.
I stood in front of the mirror. Honestly, it was a bit much. The whole thing felt very…intense. Like I was trying too hard. It’s definitely a “look.”
I wore the outfit for a couple of hours, just around the house. My wife laughed, which was expected. But I did notice something. I felt more…assertive. Maybe it’s just the suit, or maybe there’s something to this whole “power dressing” thing. It is not a daily use for me, but I am very happy to get the dress up experience.
My takeaway? I’m not suddenly going to start dressing like Trump every day. But I get the appeal. It’s a very deliberate, very commanding style. It’s about projecting confidence, even if you’re just faking it ’til you make it. And hey, maybe a red tie isn’t so bad after all. Just…maybe not quite so long next time.
