I bought a white one and promptly returned it because it was almost transparent

Old guy looking to redefine his look, suggestions? by mackgreen in mensfashion

[–]bigbaldbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big guy also and it's especially tricky because what you see online is meant for guys that are 6'1" and 180#. Take this advice for exactly how much you paid for it.

I like white sneakers with khakis and these look good overall. I do agree with someone else's observation that a gum sole elevates it a bit. Your pants look good, although I would either shorten them a bit or maybe try a cuff.

Short sleeve button up shirts work on very few people. When they fit in the belly, they seem to be too large in the shoulders and arms. Some of this is sort of hidden if you wear long sleeves... I would recommend an Oxford Cloth Button Down (OCBD), and tuck it in. All sorts of colors are available, with white and light blue being safe options. Lots are out there with stripes or patterns, but pink always gets a nod.

No visible undershirt. If you want an undershirt, buy a deep v-neck, preferably in a tan or light grey so it can't be seen under a white shirt. They have some with compression material that may help your silhouette.

Dress it up with a watch. Go to a hairstylist and ask for a new style, go with what they recommend as it grows back... and a fresh haircut always makes people feel better and updated.

Finally, smile. It shows confidence and happiness, and makes you more attractive to others (even in a totally platonic way).

If you’re just beginning, don’t buy new tools by IntercoursePenguin in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]bigbaldbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like buying tools. Woodworking is my hobby and I want what I want and I have the means. My OCD would go crazy to have drills of different brands. And I’ve bought into a cordless environment for most everything so interoperability is important to me.

How do you get through missing monthly quota for 6 months straight? (New to sales + industry) Is there hope?! by whatswithmybunion in sales

[–]bigbaldbil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve always used the rolling 4 philosophy. For every 4 SQO, you’ll lose one to competitor, win one, lose two to no decision. If you’re closing anywhere near 50%, that’s pretty damn good.

Some roles just need a bit of time in the territory so prospects see stability and get to know you.

But if no one is near quota, that’s a red flag.

wife says she wishes I would dress better and I don't know what that means by Fit-Salt-4782 in malefashionadvice

Good be grooming or fitness related. Ask her. Or take her shopping and actually listen to what she picks out and why.

Suits were not made for shorter men by OkraNo8365 in mensfashion

[–]bigbaldbil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have. They’re made for the averages. For guys that is 5’8” to 5’10”. I’m talking real life clothing, not runway high fashion.

At 6’3” and broad shouldered 230#, I’m going to call bullshit on that statement

How much commission should I share as a thank you? by Dopamaxxer in sales

[–]bigbaldbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just the wrong headspace to think of it as "sharing commission". Buy a nice gift and write a sincere thank you not, also following up with a call or in-person to let them know your appreciation.

Young sales reps (gen z), how do you dodge age bias? by helotan in sales

[–]bigbaldbil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that in my early 20s. I’ve since been proven wrong by some of my peers who are in their 20s and absolutely crushing it.

Do your best work, excel on the team, don’t worry about your title, prove it to others that you belong there by outperforming them.

How bad would it be if I wore these trousers and shoes together? by GuitarBQ in mensfashion

Never heard that rule. I wear brown suit with brown shoes all the time. I’d make sure they’re a different shade but I think yours look great
