What Suits is All About

“The series is about a successful lawyer Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht) who hires a prodigious young man, Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) who has passed the bar but has not actually attended law school. Specter tells his firm that Ross graduated from Harvard Law School when in fact the closest he ever got to the Ivy League was a campus tour he was told to take after he was hired so he can familiarize himself with culture of Harvard Law School.” Forbes.com


How To Dress Like Harvey Specter

1. POWER AND AUTHORITY

Can you really convey power and authority by what you choose to wear? This is one of the ancillary angles played to brilliant, if sometimes mocking, effect on USA Network’s show. Just to highlight a small example that comes to my mind at this moment: Harvey Specter feels disturbed by Ross’ cheap suits and skinny ties. “Get your skinny tie out of my face and get to work,” Specter tells his young associate. He sends him to his tailor to look more like the part of the Harvard grad en route to becoming a partner at a New York law firm. Then Mike Ross asks, “What does it matter how much I spend on suits?” Specter replies, “People respond to how you dress, so like it or not this is what you have to do.

Even though we are talking about a TV series, I dare to say that this is another real-life sample, demonstrating that the way you wear your clothes plays a huge role in one’s professional or personal life.

It’s not a matter of how to dress like Harvey Specter than it is to feel like him!

While his fresh, young associate Mike wears a slim, understated suit along with an unfortunate messenger bag, Harvey, on the other hand, truly dresses like a boss. He’s the top closer of his firm, and his power suits convey his status at his firm perfectly. As I said above, intimidation is what his looks manage to do all the time, looks that show again how effectively can an outfit communicate a message of strength and maintain one’s reputation.
