The Clothing Style of an Accountant: A Professional Choice for a Custom-Tailored Suit

At De Oost Bespoke Tailoring, we recognize that a suit is much more than just part of a clothing style; it's an expression of your personality and a testament to your professionalism. This is beautifully exemplified in the custom-tailored suit of Mr. 'Jansen', a prominent accountant and executive at Ernst & Young, based in the east of the Netherlands.

The Need for Customization

Mr. Jansen, with his unique physique - tall and slim with specific proportions - found it challenging to find suits that met his style and fit preferences. His search for a suit that not only reflects his professional status but also offers comfort, led him to our doors.

The Suit: A Symbol of Craftsmanship and Style

Mr. Jansen's suit is a paragon of craftsmanship and style. This two-piece suit, handcrafted and bespoke with a full canvas construction, is complemented by an extra pair of trousers for durability. Every detail - from the 2-button closure and 9 cm wide notch lapels to the two straight flap pockets and double vent at the back - is designed for a streamlined look.

The First Impression: A Scientifically Supported Added Value

An important aspect of professional clothing, especially for entrepreneurs and advisors, is the impact it has on the perception of clients and associates. A tailor-made suit in a classic color like blue is not only associated with professionalism but can also enhance clients' trust.

According to studies in the psychology of clothing and color perception, such as those published in the Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, the color blue can evoke feelings of reliability, stability, and competence. This is crucial in a professional setting where first impressions can have a lasting impact on business relationships and reputation.

The Power of Blue: How a Custom-Made Suit Exudes Confidence and Professionalism

Wearing a well-fitted suit, especially in a professional color like blue, can indeed positively influence professional presence and clients' and associates' confidence. This is supported by various scientific studies:

  • Suits, compared to other clothing, contribute to a stronger professional image for both men and women, regardless of age or body type (Thurston, Lennon, & Clayton, 1990).

  • The color and design of a business suit can significantly impact a company's overall appearance and employees' emotions, which in turn can improve work efficiency (Bian, Ni, & Zong, 2018).

  • Employees generally feel more authoritative, trustworthy, and competent when wearing formal business attire, contributing to a positive perception by clients and associates (Peluchette & Karl, 2007).

  • Minor adjustments in clothing, like wearing a custom-made suit, can significantly enhance a person's perception of attributes such as trust and success (Howlett, Pine, Orakçıoğlu, & Fletcher, 2013).

In summary, wearing a well-fitted, professional suit, especially in a color like blue, can positively affect professional presence and clients' and associates' confidence, which can be crucial for an entrepreneur's reputation and success.
