Blue Suit Theory (update)

Writing my previous post on my "Blue Suit Theory", as a fresh faced, new to London- laborer, I built a theory on the reach of a man in a blue suit. 

A blue suit gets you noticed, it speaks of some untold image that represents success....Perhaps I built this theory based on the sights of Mayfair. Where only the rich of the rich are able to socialise in the hidden gems that the average person would never have known existed. 

Heading to one of the secretive gentlemen's clubs (which membership would cost you an arm and a leg) you'll find a certain type of man. One who probably has more money that sense, but rarely seen on London streets outside of the summer months will be those few showing off the colour swatch..

Now I mentioned previously that very few exist under the age of 30, and whilst back in 2011 this seemed a little unappealing to me, the tables have now turned, and the just turned 30's - 30 somethings are my prime market!

Nearing 30 myself, well at least over the hill in my 20's, I have come to accept that this is an age that I am going to meet- sword raised or charged. Not such an unappealing age now.

Also, to disprove my theory that they are over the age of 30 is a young man who I met whilst interning in my early London days, who certainly proved that part of the theory wrong. Despite, like me, starting out as an intern - but he had quit school early- did not attend University and now owns a multi-million pound property company, and  I'm starting to wonder whether education was the right route. 


A now very successful northern boy, who from the start had impeccable dress sense (owning a blue suit even then), soared almost to the top of his game (there's always room for improvement), at the grand ol' age of 25. Not only at the time was he younger than me, but he moved from a job already on twice what I could even consider as a start out salary. Success is not always found in the classroom- as many have shown. 


Here's to you, you northern success (and your blue suit that got you there)! x
