For years, a lot of technological advances happen in Silicon Valley with tech employees and executives wear business casual fashion at all times. However, it seems that was already a thing of the past as tech CEOs seemed to outgrow their usual jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers.
In 2017, Business Insider listed some top tech executives and how they do their fashion. Surprisingly, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was then at the bottom of the list as he has worn the same set of clothes: jeans, hoodie, gray crewneck shirt, and Nike running shoes.
However, Zuckerberg chucked his casual look for a more business-type look with his well-fitted pair of suit-and-tie as he is seen in important events.
Well-fitted jeans is a must
Having a pair of jeans that do not fit is distressing, so Gant advised finding a tailor or brand that suits the body type. She also suggested paying attention to fabrics of the garment, which may feel nice in the dressing room, but does not give the right fit.
Focus on the color and quality of the garments
To look good and confident, people must understand what colors look good on them. Also, they must focus on the quality of the product and properly taking care of them.
Wear clean and good looking shoes
For many tech execs, getting pairs is an important part of their style. This is why we see Zuckerberg or Musk on their sneaker, which is not also comfortable to wear but also shows off a lot of character. Changing shoes is the easiest way to update a person's wardrobe.
Gant urges people to seek professional help when they feel like updating their look. One does not need to be a billionaire to do so, but top executives should be careful of how they look in public because it says much about their character and how they do business.
"While style can be super analytical, there is an art to it too," Gant added.
