I’m noticing a trend here.  I write quite a bit about style.  Not necessarily a sense of fashion style, there’s that, but the style in your writing, presentation, mannerisms, and attitude.  I get some feedback that maybe stepping up your game in style isn’t really that necessary.  Personally, I think you’re taking away some great opportunities if you don’t pay attention to your style.  I’m not suggesting a sense of conforming, I believe everybody has their own style.  It’s just a matter of bringing your style up notch and making the impression that you want.

I would like to share a couple of great resources that I have and some that I have recently come across that are written so well, it inspires you.

• Secrets Of Nonverbal Communication
• Manliness: The Baby and the Bathwater
• Dress Smart Women
• Dress Smart Men
• The Power of Body Language
• Style Guide – For Business and Technical Communication

These are only a couple of really good resources.  Don’t forget to leave a comment of some resources you think no person should be without.  What style tips would you give that you think makes a big impact for you?  Do you think society has gotten too comfortable or just lazy about their presentation and style?  Would you like to see the attention to style and presentation of the bygone era return?  Would you like to see people dressing appropriately to functions and events, such as church, weddings, anniversaries, and such, as well as going out to a nice restaurant and the theater (I’m speaking of the theater that you would see Phantom of the Opera, not the movie theater)?  Would love to hear your thoughts.
