Shoes make the Man

20 May 2010 - A good suit can help to make a proper first impression, but a bad pair of shoes can completely ruin the outfit. I think many Hong Kong guys are quite well dressed (go to Mongkok or Central to see), but sometimes they completely miss the point. The other night I saw this young banker in the metro. He had obviously heavily invested in a power-suit from an expensive Italian designer, but his black rubber sneakers made him look like a second hand cars salesman. I felt a bit sorry for him, because his face was telling me he knew he was more acting the big banker than actually being one.
