 The power of a tie Luxury Accessories: "Right this way Sir," says the Maitre D as he escorts you through a maze of tables filled with well-heeled and influential diners. Your table is already partially occupied by powerful decision makers; you confidently approach, breeze through the obligatory handshakes and take your seat. You engage in light banter, completely cool under the collar, and wait for the remaining guests to arrive. You feel comfortable, like one of them. No one needs to know about your mismatched hand-me-down furniture or that this is your one and only suit and Hermes silk tie. Once you land this deal, which you know in your heart of hearts is a slam dunk, you'll be able to refurnish your trendy mid-town apartment and fill your entire closet with custom suits and Hermes ties.
It may be a cliché but the idea is on-target--you do have to dress the part. Whether you're a rookie or seasoned road warrior, a tailored wardrobe polished off with a crisp cravat is a formula for success.
