Got an email from Ukraine the other day—business owner, 35, runs an IT company, recently decided jeans and T-shirt don't cut it anymore, not quite sure how to make that changeover to business attire work. Common problem. Let's solve it.
前幾天收到一封從烏克蘭寄來的信－－開資訊科技公司的三十五歲企業家，最近決定上班不能再穿牛仔褲配 T 恤，不是很知道要怎麼成功轉變成商務風。這問題很常見。讓我們來解答。
Okay, Vlad, listen up. The basics, you need two suits. Make that three: one navy, one a bit of a lighter blue, and one gray, like this one. No stripes, no patterns; make sure it's good quality wool. Take them to a tailor; have them altered to you. Easy.
Vlad，聽好了。基本配備，你需要兩套西裝。準備三套：一套海軍藍、一套淺藍一點，還有一套我身上這種灰色。不要有條紋、不要有花樣；一定要是好的羊毛材質。拿到裁縫師那修改到合身。簡單。
Next, shirts. You need six: three white ones, three in different shades of blue. No patterns, no stripes. Leave that for the ties. You need six of those: two plain ones, one red, one blue. Striped, checked, dotted—done.
接下來，襯衫。你需要六件：三件純白、三件深淺不一的藍色襯衫。不要有花樣、不要有條紋。領帶再有變化就好。你需要六條領帶：兩條素色、一條紅色、一條藍色。條紋、格紋、圓點－－搞定。
Now, do the math. This will give you 36 different combinations. That means you can go to work for nearly two months without wearing the same outfit twice. Add two or three pairs of decent shoes: Oxfords, brogues. Buy the best you can afford.
現在，算一下。這樣就有三十六種不同的穿搭組合。也就代表你有將近兩個月不會重覆穿到同一套衣服去上班，。加上兩三雙體面的鞋子：牛津鞋、雕花鞋。在能力範圍內買最好的。
One more thing, take your time when making the change from sloppy to smart. Start out wearing a suit...maybe twice a week and slowly increase the frequency. That will also give your colleagues time to adjust. Just ignore their comments. What else do you expect from guys who dress like teenagers?
還有一件事，從邋遢變時尚的過程不用急。一開始也許可以一個禮拜穿兩次西裝，然後慢慢增加次數。那樣也能讓你的同事有時間適應。不用理他們說什麼。你還想要那些穿得像屁孩的人有什麼反應？
