David Jones’s new chief executive, Paul Zahra must be onto a good thing!  Zahra’s suits are from luxury maker Zegna which is celebrating its centenary this year.  In northern Italy in 1910 Ermenegildo Zegna began weaving cloth to compete with those on London’s Saville Row. 

 

Today Zegna uses the best Australian wool, spun finer than cashmere so they behave like nature, ie a suit will cool and warm as you do.  The springiness of Zegna’s suits, allow you to unpack them ready to wear straight to a meeting.  

 

Let’s hope Zahra follows the same principles of substance and style as designer Zegna!

David Jones 's new chief executive, Paul Zahra is well suited, his suit is Zegna, his shirt Saba and his shoes Prada.   Zahra states his image is highly principled and has strong values. 

To project a professional image, you need to look and act the part.  Nothing looks more professional than a good tailored suit.  Some key tips to choosing the right suit for you.

• How many buttons?  Utlimately you want the style that compliments your shape.  Two button suits are in vogue, classic and suit everyone.  One button suits are only for slim men.
• Look for a great fit.  The suit should fit you perfectly across the shoulders.
• Single or double breasted?  Single breasted looks great on big boys, double breasted on slender men.
• What colour?  Stick to the classics, navy or charcoal. 
• Vents?  Vents allow greater movement of the body, choose from centre or double vents.
• Cuffs?  Suits with a slimmer silhouette look better without them.

Revel in your new professional image.  For more help consult a personal stylist.
