HOW TO LOOK MORE SOPHISTICATED<br />
Simple Tips For The Simple Man<br />
As summer comes to a close, it’s time to pack away the flip-flops and shorts, and pull out<br />
those expensive, polished shoes for an autumn of accomplishments.<br />
But you don’t have to stop there. Dressing well is just the starting point. The following tips<br />
will help you to appear truly sophisticated all season long.<br />
Stay two steps ahead<br />
Whether it’s an upcoming client meeting or a weekend fete, sophistication is a mere<br />
keystroke away. Plan your day ahead by researching the who, what, when and where for<br />
whatever event is on tomorrow’s calendar. Want to really swing for the fences? Go to your<br />
appointment or event five minutes early.<br />
Bring a gift<br />
While not required, it’s always appreciated. Nothing says class like someone who arrives<br />
with a bottle of wine, a seasonal floral arrangement or even just some homemade baked<br />
goods. A small, subtle gift for a host or hostess can go a long way in establishing that<br />
sophisticated image you desire.<br />
Put the pen to work<br />
Dust off that box of thank-you cards you stashed in your bottom desk drawer, and get to<br />
writing. Emails are nice but are used everyday for everything. A thank-you card is more<br />
personal and serves one purpose: to make a person feel appreciated. Take note of the<br />
important people in your life who deserve a special shout-out. Add your own penmanship<br />
and a postage stamp, and you are bound to earn at least a few sophistication points for<br />
being thoughtful.<br />
Use the Internet<br />
Whether it’s staying up on current events or knowing a few details about your favorite<br />
19th-century artist or author, these little-known facts will give you something to talk about in<br />
any social setting, helping you appear more approachable and knowledgeable. Get in the<br />
habit of using the World Wide Web to glean fun tidbits and major headlines.<br />
Go FLASR<br />
For smokeless tobacco users, a product that allows you to discreetly do your thing without<br />
disturbing the party is essential for becoming a class act.<br />
If sophistication is key, consider FLASR, a portable spittoon that’s small and easy to use.<br />
Plus this state-of-the-art accessory has a secure-locking mechanism to ensure<br />
embarrassing spills.
