To become the alpha male we can use modeling to teach ourselves the characteristics of people we would like to emulate. I don’t mean modeling in the sense of strutting down a catwalk but rather NLP modeling. That is, watching and breaking down the desirable characteristics and traits of an alpha male and then teaching ourselves to exhibit the very same ones.

Consider your typical beta male; they constantly gaze down at their shoes, do not speak coherently, cross their arms and do not maintain eye contact.

Now think about your alpha male heroes; George Clooney, Brad Pitt, maybe even Donald Trump or Steve Jobs. These are all successful people in their own ways, and either have women swarming all over them or, when they speak, people hang on their every word.

So, what’s the key difference? The number one secret between the leaders and the shoe-gazers?

There’s no rocket science involved – the key to all this is relaxation and being in control in social situations. This is an alpha male trait you need to learn and become proficient with if you are to succeed. Don’t immediately think that it’s some natural gift that people are only born with either. Sure, some people have to work harder at this than others, but we can all learn how to become more relaxed and confident in these situations.

Here are some pointers for you to develop the body language of an alpha male:
Don’t let yourself get worried. Too many people spend time worrying about things which are outside of their control. What’s the point? Roll with the punches. Instead of simply worrying about something, understand why it is making you worry and then work out how to solve it. Put your energy into finding solutions, not into the fear of what might happen in the future. When speaking, SLOW IT DOWN. They’ll tell you this on presentation technique courses, but it’s also true of normal everyday social situations. If you rush your speech you will sound like you are panicking, which in turn makes the listener feel uncomfortable. Breathing. Breath through your abdomen instead of your chest. This also helps with the point above. When you breathe, imagine you are bringing the air down to your stomach, feeling your stomach rise and fall as you breathe. Avoid fidgeting. These are all no-no’s; shifting from one foot to the other, gazing around the room, playing with keys/coins in your pockets, frowning. Basically any mannerism which makes you look awkward and uncomfortable. Relax your eyes. Okay, so I don’t mean fall asleep! You’ll notice though that alpha males look straight ahead and give attention to things which interest them. Their eyes do not dart around the room in a manic fashion. If somebody calls for your attention, move your head slowly. This is not that well known, but if someone shouts to get your attention, you can respond in one of two ways. The beta male’s head would dart around quickly, frantically trying to location the person who called. On the other hand, the alpha male will turn his head slowly. Remember, he’s in control. People are on his time.

For the second year, women are advised to get their husbands anything made out of cotton, which includes shirts, pillows, or other cotton. On the third year, women are then advised to buy their husbands leather products, which include shoes, belts, or a leather suitcase.

There can be no doubt that we live in a world where fashion plays an important part. Many people seem to be constantly looking for signals indicating what particular clothes and accessories are fashionable at any given point in time.

The problem for those of us who don’t keep a close eye on things is that fashions change so quickly. An item of clothing that’s regarded as being extremely stylish one year may be viewed as being rather old the next. Such changing fashions have an impact on all aspects of clothing, including on shoes.

We may think that a pair of shoes will last us for many years, but they frequently seem to go out of fashion in exactly the same way that dresses or tops do. We may also run into problems if we buy shoes that go well with particular outfits.

As we look at what celebrities are wearing, in an attempt to get some good ideas, it may be worth pondering the fact that the way in which we view shoes has changed. They were once seen as being largely practical. They were expected to protect your feet and to keep them comfortable.

These days, we might well think that it’s all about appearances. Unfortunately, such attitudes can cause problems. If you ignore the importance of comfort then you may find that shoes will start to cause pain, making it difficult for you to walk easily.

Things can get even worse and you may have some health problems if you’re not careful. This is one instance where it seems that changing attitudes may do more harm than good. The obvious problem here, when it comes to modern shoes, is that designers don’t think enough about comfort.

Neither, it seems, do consumers. Don’t make the same mistake that so many other people do. Make sure that you take the time to think about how comfortable your feet will be in a new pair of shoes.

It’s easy for men to get confused after wearing business suits everyday for years, to confidently know how to look professional and not lose credibility when dressing down in updated business casual looks. When a man dresses too casually in the corporate world, it can oftentimes hinder his opportunities for advancement. Here are five great looks for a man in business that project his ability and expertise and show his modern style:

Gray: The New Black

Dressing in various shades of gray is a great way to look taller and thinner as well as looking stylish. Why not try a wool sport coat either in a charcoal or medium shade of gray, a medium gray sport shirt with a gray dress trousers. I call this look modernly monochromatic! Be sure that when you wear all one tone from head to toe, that you include some interest by adding texture through a black reptile skin belt and shoes.

Classic Cardi’s

The new cardigan is the new jacket sweater for fall. These sweaters are much more modern than days past. Wear a neutral-colored chocolate brown cardigan paired with a complementary print or plaid sport shirt. On the bottom half add a pair of wrinkle-free khaki’s or tan dress pants. Finish off the look with a great pair of dark brown shoes and belt. Although there is no jacket present, this layering of 3-piece dressing is very business-like.

Try a Combo: Navy & Tan

Wear a navy blue sport coat, a striped blue and tan dress shirt worn open, a solid navy blue wool vest (optional), and a pair of tan dress pants. This is a very classic but authoritative look. These colors blend together beautifully to look modern and dapper.

Vested Interest: Argyle Is Back

Pair a solid sport shirt which coordinates with an accent color in a new argyle vest to add some color to your upper half. Top this ensemble off with a neutral-colored dress trouser or wrinkle-free khaki. This look is urban and very chic for fall.

Feel The Difference: Texture is In

This season it is all about prints and textures. Buy a new sport coat in one of fall’s newest textures like herringbone, tweed, or hammerhead. Under the jacket wear a dark merino wool fine-gauge polo sweater and add a dark dress pant and dress shoes to finish off the ensemble. If you wear suits and sport coats and ties everyday, you will enjoy dressing more business casual if your work environment allows you to do so. These are great dress down looks that allow you to express your more business casual side. Adapt these five looks for fall and look modernly chic as you arrive at the office in style.

Dress shoes are designed for comfort and to compliment the type of clothing that is being worn, whether it is casual or formal. Think of your shoes as an extension of what you are wearing and choose a shoe color that fits accordingly. Socks, on the other hand, are much like ties in the way you can be creative with them in matching them with your dress style.

Unlike the ladies, men often do not feel the need to have shoes in all the colors of the rainbow. The most popular dress shoe color is black, followed by brown, burgundy, oxblood, chestnut and white.

The best way to find a pair of designer men’s shoes that fit your budget is to shop around. The thought of wandering around the streets looking for a pair of shoes will not appeal to most men. More likely, the thought will strike fear into the hearts of many men! I know I can’t stand running all over town shopping, I have a mission to accomplish and the way to do it is to get it done as fast and efficiently as possible.

There are other alternatives to wandering the streets looking for a bargain. Shopping online for a reasonably priced pair of designer shoes is one. This is ideal because there is no need to even leave home to find what you are looking for. With the internet you can find everything you could want right from the comfort of home. This makes shopping palatable even to the most macho, male chauvinist, anti-shopping male!

While shopping, keep in mind what you will mainly be using the shoes for. If you are buying a pair of designer shoes for a special occasion, consider a style that you can wear for other occasions as well; something that can be worn with a suit as easily as with a pair of casual dress pants and a shirt. If you are buying on a budget, you will save money by buying only one pair of shoes rather than two or three for different pairs for different uses.

An important thing to keep in mind when searching for a pair of designer shoes on a budget is the pair of shoes you decide to buy should be discounted rather than being ‘cheap’. Don’t sacrifice quality and comfort to save a few dollars. You should always put quality first, not just because the shoes will last longer but because they are usually better for the health of your feet as well.
