How To Dress To Impress .... like American Psycho

How To Dress To Impress

A sharp suit and a well-chosen tie send a clear message about your career aspirations.

Looking sharp is one thing; looking like an affectatious wanker is something else.
Fashion goes out of style, but style never goes out of fashion.

The following quote (and several others) from American Psycho seems wholly apt to this shallow dispatch on male corporate climbing vanity.

Patrick Bateman: There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. .... I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip. (all from just reading this article)
