    When I was growing up my dad told me to do good in life . To better myself as a man physically, mentally , and economically . I didn’t pay much attention but driving around in a beat up car and dressing in over sized clothes I realized how badly you get treated by people. People treat you how they see you . Today I can assure you how differently I get treated with how I dress and carry myself . You’d be surprised how much respect I receive from people at restaurants, women, friends etc etc . Doors open for you and people even trust you a lot more . So yes physical appearance does matter a lot . The fellas need to take care of their appearance . Even if it isn’t for anyone but themselves .

    When I was in the corporate world, I worked for a company that allowed employees to dress 'casually'. I told my team, I never want to see you in a t-shirt or dressing casually in any form or fashion. My team was always buttoned up, and performed better as a result. When we were in meetings, when my team opened their mouths, they were taken a lot more seriously than someone wearing a t-shirt in the office because they looked and carried the part. Now these same employees are now Directors at larger companies making $150K+ a year. They thank me all the time for the high level of expectations that I instilled in them. Kevin is not steering you wrong. If you think otherwise, you'll continue to be passed over in life.

      @@InfamousBlackGuy and I 100% agree. They don’t make you smarter.
      However, clothes can reinforce a positive image and remove one less barrier to overcome. The main problem is that most people have not reinforced this positivity, credibility, and overall professional presence etc., which would allow them to move freely regardless of how they dress. I would much rather someone master the basics, and slowly remove elements they don’t find “enjoyable” vs. struggling to succeed and not understand what’s holding them back.

    I was a construction worker for most of my life I had a gastrointestinal problem that almost killed me I had a surgery after about 2 years that started out now I'm good as new but I'm in sales now instead of construction since my physical condition forced me to learn how to do something else and nobody wants to wrestle plywood for a living given the choice, I never cared at all what clothes I put on six to seven days a week I was wearing clothes that were totally destroyed literally because they were already destroyed and I didn't have to worry about destroying them, now that I'm in an environment where image is extremely important (which is something that I've had to learn through experience) Im basically having to learn how to dress myself all over again, and you have helped me out a lot. I would have never in a million years gotten the idea to pick up a pair of Monk straps on my own but those things are a cornerstone now.

    This works in any realm even blue collar. Just this morning at 4 a.m. I walked into a truck stop to get a coffee and a woman who worked in the subway immediately said good morning. Was another black man who got upset and said I've been standing here for five minutes and she hasn't said nothing to me. I asked him if he really wanted to know why she probably hasn't spoken to him. You took the bait and said yeah you tell me. We're both about the same age in our late 40s. I plainly told him that the way you dress commands a certain level of respect... especially from women. He's wearing ill-fitting pants and an oversized Looney Tunes t-shirt with tennis shoes on....

Fast forward 4-5 years and now they are wearing suits, pocket squares, bow ties, and lapel flowers. I was always taught to put my best foot forward and it's amazing how women still flirt and compliment me even though they know I'm married. So yes, you are speaking straight facts!

    If you breakdown what he’s communicating here, it is consistent with his message until his passing. He spoke to men here, his later message was to men and women. He talks about accepting your outcomes. That was a major theme of his. It’s ok to be average or even below average, just accept the outcomes that come with that. On the other hand, if you want above average outcomes, you must engage in above average behavior (image, work ethic, etc).

    Interesting topic. I’m reminded of how my parents used to dress me as a kid. I had plenty of sneakers and sweatsuits but also a lot of cardigans, polos, and button ups. Honestly, this wasn’t at all unique back then (early 80s). I think our community realized how important it was for us to look the part first because society wasn’t going to give us a chance to “audition” otherwise. Sadly, that reality seems to be lost on a lot of our men, who fashion themselves as “entrepreneurs”, entertainers, or influencers who don’t need to conform to a particular dress code. I’m not saying rock tuxedos to the grocery store, but every “adult” man should at least be able to pull a suit or dress slacks out of the closet. There are people who can afford to look however they want. We’re not those people.

    Good advice, the guy talking about expensive things is one of those guys who think having a 500$ versace t shirt = they know fashion. I always try to inform people about quality and fabrics. Cause some shirts are sew a different way that makes it better quality, etc. Kevin is exactly right. Just because the shirt is $150 doesn't mean it's high quality. A lot of times with high end brands your paying to be a walking billboard. Not to say don't buy high end, but inspect the quality and fabric and how it fits, compare it to others and then make a decision. Most important is fit, and fabric so that you know your purchase will last a long time as well as fit properly.

      Look past my bitterness for a bit. There's a real lesson here. If appearance and mannerisms make a narcissist look good for a while, imagine what they can do for someone whose inside matches the outside? And imagine all those wonderful people on the inside who get overlooked because they don't prioritize their image.

      I don’t have anything against hood and urban brands being successful. Even though I find their prices to be outrageous, it is their right to set those prices. It sets the balance of supply and demand.
      But I find it crazy and irresponsible to pay that type of money, pretty much giving these clothes and sneaker designers the green light to fleece the customer base that they know can afford the clothes while not affording anything else. I always thought it was crazy when going into a no name convenience store and always see black and white T shirts and tanks. I asked a shop owner one time about it. He said that dudes will come in daily just to have a new clean shirt on 🤦🏾‍♂️.

    My dad used to tell me when I first graduated highschool that no matter what to do or where you go, be the best version of yourself you can be. And that included dress code. He couldn’t always afford the finer quality things but he would make a 100 outfit look like 300-400 due both his style and his ability to carry confidence every where he goes. People always thought he was a celebrity. Even his vehicles stayed clean and newer. He works hard to be everything to his family and sacrificed much but that didn’t stop him from being the great man he is. And he had a wife that supported him and did what ever she could to fortify the great man she loves and married over 30 years ago.
