I try to dress one step above what I believe my clients will be dressed and or depending on the property.

No suit and tie to list a working dairy farm. 

No shorts and 'T' to list a $500,000 home.

I think you get the idea

Never wear belts but I wouldn't think of leaving the house without a pair of earrings that compliment my outfit.  

Things have slacked off from what they were when I started but I defiantly want to look good,

I have always had good fortune in this dressing up game. What I missed, my wife caught. What helped is I just look good in any old thing too

I make sure my belt matches my flip-flops.

Bob "RealMan" Timm Business attire always works unless you're walking a property.

Bob,

Besides matching, the most important thing is to be comfortable in your clothes.  We always suggest to our clients to wear comfortable for photos and for important appointments. A

Going with my motto:

                         " Be A Professional "

that is not only how I act but how I dress.   Today, my assistant and I both wore our Bank tops with slacks and MUD BOOTS because we went to see our client's NEW modular home being delivered and set up.   Of course when we left, the boots came off and the heels went on.

Neither of us was wearing a belt.   It would have clashed with the boots ! 

I like to dress conservatively, with just one piece of flash - be it some bright socks (I think Jeff Dowler CRS would agree), a shiny watch, or a drop of color somewhere.  I think being comfortable and confident is dressing for success.  And yes, match the belt & shoes.

No, I never wear belts.

Shoes are what makes the outfit...and a good hair day.

LMAO, here Bob. I don't wear belts and when I do wear a decorative one, it never matches my shoes as it's an accessory for my outfit. Then again, I'm a modern woman, and my handbag does not match my shoes either and I mix silver and gold jewelry! Nor does the nail polish on my hands always match that on my toes. Don't know how much these "lady" tips have helped you however! 

I am a business casual fan most of the time.

I rarely wear belts but do dress in a way that communicates I am a professional. Kauai is a different environment than many markets so what we wear might seem like business casual to most agents. 

     Realtors like to call themselves "Professionals".  

    Yeah, sure, when they fail to dress like professionals.  Your appearance announces who you are.

Nope

I don't own a belt.  And my shoes match everything.

Well, my clients today hugged me and said "You're so pretty and you smell good!" so I think I did fine in jeans, a nice top, Sketcher Walkfits in black leopard and my Cuba Sparkly Tiger perfume. (Just do what's appropriate and makes you feel shiny) 3:)

1. Clean and tidy.

2. Even on a muddy farm, dressed down looks a lot less shabby when it is ironed.  I know people who press their blue jeans.  Sounds odd, but I have to admit that the kids always look great.

3.  There are colours that make us look grey or ill, and colours that flatter us.  I recommend you find yours that flatter, and wear them.  Some people look stunning in black, but I definitely don't.  I look better in greens, chocolate browns and other Fall colours.  From your videos on-line, you may also, but I really can't tell.  If you have (or used to have) red in your hair, find the blues and greens that flatter.  Black may not be your best.

4.  The colours we love to look at are very often not the colours that flatter us best.  The colours you love to see belong on the walls, and the colours that flatter you belong in your closet.  :  )  Best of luck, and I hope you have fun with it.

I own one belt and one pair of boots, they work with any situation.

Dress for success to me means wearing something that creates an air of confidence and professionalism.

I don't wear belts anymore. I do match jewerly, shoes, purse or jacket.  

Generally yes. I like a complete well put together outfit.

Dress for success has many meanings. To me it is comfortable, presentable and appropriate. When I dress this way, I am happy. 

I make sure my shirt looks good with my jeans. I don't wear a belt, but I do feel good when my underwear color matches my socks. Although I don't have this to worry about during sandal season. 

Yes, don't forget to wear the 'good' earrings. 

I think that a nice shirt & slacks is OK daily attire. There as some guys in my office that are just slobs.

Belt & shoes have to match - common Bob!  No white patent shoes after Labor Day - all this stuff is important.

In general:  

business outfit: matching (finish and texture) belt and shoes pulls your look together;

casual: shoes and belt should coordinate.

I like to dress up a bit, and better than what I think the client will be wearing, but it varies some with the weather. And I do wear brightly colored socks (I have nothing plain anymore, and John Meussner recognizes the value of some color, too!)

No. I only own one belt and it's brown. It goes with brown or black shoes.

Shoes and belt always match and try not to wear horizontal stripes 

The original "Dress for Success" author, John T. Molloy, is still writing and still online as a blogger/columnist on the topic of dressing for success.  You can read his opinions (which are still spot on) at http://www.thedressforsuccesscolumn.com/.

I wear my logo shirt and shoes and belt match

I ususally don't wear a belt, so "no"! I like to wear a suit a skirt or dress with a blazer or dress pants with a blazer.

when you work with builders/developers, you make sure you scrape the mud from your work boots before you walk into the office!!  my builder/developers didn't list with agents who were more concerned about their Prada Shoes than becoming familiar with the lay of the land!!!!

Hmmm, success = shoes matching belt

Don't think so.

Hmmm, success = having more pages than the other guy

Don't think so.

Hmm, success = wearing those Pheonix Univ socks

Don't think so.

I more inclined to think, success = cuddy

Our behavior changes the outcome.

Work and work and work and get lucky.

Not me. :)

Great question Bob. I love to dress up my husband, it is amazing what clothes can do for a man!

I think a neatly ironed, button down shirt and slacks look very professional. A polo shirt and tan pants are nice for a more casual look. Yes, the belt and shoes should match.

If you are not sure about colors, you can ask the salesperson for suggestions. Good luck!

I dress for my clients and the homes I am showing.   If there is bad weather, that is considered too.   

I never thought of that.  My belt is usually black as are my pants and my boots.  Today I'm going casual with tan pants, belt and boots (simply because I haven't fit into these pants in over a year!)

Now the big question is having a holster that matches the pants!  Tan pants and a black holster (and gun) kinda clashes.  May have to buy a tan gun and holster now...   Any excuse right?

parked and reading

Good luck.

I dont fret over little things. My clothes are clean, pressed and i only have 2 belts so i limit my shoes to brown to match my brown belt, problem solved. 

Make sure you zip up.

Having a professional appearance provides an advantage. The appropriate attire varies by local market areas.

Good morning Bob. You're right of course, shoes and belt should always match.

In San Diego we get by with a very dressy casual don't have to dress like in NY or LA. 

Bob "RealMan" Timm - wow! that's so much detailed! I have just couple of colors for belt - and use appropriately with the 'dress'....

BUt of course!!!!!

You only get to make a great first impression once...

Yes, I do wear alot that matches Bob "RealMan" Timm!  Wear pants with loafers and tops with jackets!  Very similar to my last job as I'm used to doing alot of walking, and not always on flat terrain, plus bending over and reaching up with signs from the trunk into the ground.  Need not to worry about my clothes!  If I'm going to an event or party or seminar I can afford to look way nicer . . .

If I wear shoes the clients are honored. If my I don't wear a belt, my spare tire will hold my pants up.

Love the A's Bob "RealMan" Timm Made my day!  So much better than helping hubby complete taxes
