Trader Essentials - Business Shirts

This blog is mainly about technical analysis, which should be part of your daily trading routine. But if you want to become a pro and grow your business, you need to act accordingly and add trader essentials to your routine and lifestyle. All of us who work in finance meet clients and have other professional meetings and all of us want to leave a good impression.

"You never have a second chance to leave a first impression."

A professional shirt not only makes the necessary difference ("you are what you wear"), it is available to both man and women likewise.

I have tried them all: shirts from the local store, shirts from the tailor abroad, shirts from the online store(s). Let me share you my experience and save you time and money.

Shirts from the local store are typically cheap and come in 3 standard sizes (S, M, L). If ever you compare the standard sizes to tailored ones, you realize the shape of those shirts look like a canvas... ("one shape fits all")

If you travel around the world, there is no way you could miss a tailor store, especially in countries like India, Thailand, or Vietnam. They offer you bespoke suits and shirts often at good package prices. I'm not going to review the suits here, after all those stores often do a good job. But shirts are usually a giveaway of cheap quality to lure customers in their store. You will notice that once you get your "tailored shirts" (buy 2 get 1 free...) out of laundry and they are full of wrinkles.

There is nothing like an iron-free shirt! I have to admit: I hate ironing. Probably most of the readers in here do. It's time taking and I don't have the patience for it. And even if you iron it perfectly - after a day it looks like a week old. I noticed that there are huge differences among what stores brand as "iron-free".

If you're looking for reliable Swiss Quality where you can depend on standards and get exactly what you ordered, then this is the right place to be. Finally, I came accross a Swiss online store that gives a well-known product the typical Swiss-finish and brings an ordinary business shirt to another level: Noser Fashion.

I swear, I will never order shirts from another store again and here is why:

• The performance shirt Elio that I ordered matched the size and shape of my body perfectly (shirt is available in 7 sizes and 3 different fits)
  
  
• The comfort when you wear it is simply extraordinary
  
  
• You wash it, you hang it - DONE! In the morning when you wear it, it looks like fresh from the iron table! Even if you wear it for more than a day, you will barely see any wrinkles at all
  
  
• The textile structure is produced in a liquid repellent way. That's pretty cool when you accidentally spill some water or similar over your shirt - and it just bounces off
  
  
• When you compare all the advantages (see their webpage for all details), then you will agree that this absolutely justifies the slightly higher price compared to a normal shirt ("quality has its price")
