Walk the line

MANILA, Philippines - For young professional guys who just got into a big corporation, achieving a stylishly cool look that is still tastefully appealing to senior officemates and bosses can be tricky. Sledgers, French makers of luxuriously crafted men’s leather footwear and accessories, provides these must-do tips on how to professionally stand out in the corporate world.

Much ado about the hairdo: Although clothes and shoes are the basis for your look, gents are advised to be as fussy as their female counterparts in choosing the right haircut that flatters your face shape. Go for a low-maintenance cut — a no-fuss clean ‘do that fits well for everyday work and after-office activities.

Posh and professional: Another classic Sledgers slip-on, Wallace in brown perfectly delivers the total gentleman package.

Neat refinement: Admit it, professional men could really use a set of tools and other personal grooming aids to make that lasting impression among officemates, clients and bosses. Regular hygienic routines are also a must to present a clean office look.

Classic with a “twist”: Solid conservative suits in neutral hues are fine, but sometimes these choices can be “too perfect,” giving you an “aging” look especially among younger office gentlemen. Instead, introduce prints, patterns and a dab of interesting shades. Off-the-rack plaid neckties, striped shirts, light-colored vests and accessories like shades and cuff links can truly work wonders and transform boring black suits to edgier, yet still acceptable, fashion.

Fine foot couture: To stylishly balance the package, gentlemen should be very choosy in their selection of formal leather shoes. Maximize your foot accessories’ budget by looking for elegant leathers with superb comfort fitting. Avoid flashy, overly ornate shoes. Sledgers‘ latest Studio Line AW 11 Collection offers contemporary versatile styles that perfectly emulate what a professional gentleman should be: sophisticated, charming and tastefully respectable. With unique comfort features and specific shoe widths that guarantee the right shape and fitting specifically around the heel area, the Studio Line --- made of premium cow leather material – also boasts a pointed end silhouette that appeals and literally fits young corporate people who want to be always fashionable.

Smart appeal: Available in black and brown colors, Sledgers’ Walton is a sleek slip-on with leather outsole that gives wearers extra stylish confidence.

 Exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Primer Group of Companies, Sledgers’ Studio Line Collection is available in the following store locations: Sledgers boutique outlets in SM Mall of Asia, TriNoma, SM Northwing Cebu; selected ResToeRun outlets; in selected SM department stores (Makati, Mall of Asia, Cebu, North Edsa, Megamall); Rustans (Cebu, Makati, ATC Alabang and Shangri-La); and Chimes Specialty Store Davao.
