Jeff's M.O.


In Hollywood, you have to a M.O. An M.O. is your 'look', your image. Some dudes wear hats. Some dudes wear all Ralph Lauren or Ecko or something. I needed an M.O. if I hoped to fit in. With the help of a team of specialists, I have developed an M.O. that is easy, distinctive, cheap (always important), and most definitely uncool.

M.O. summary:

SHIRT - a polo-style shirt with no logo. Immaculately pressed (even though I usually do not). I have found inexpensive ones at Target for $16 each. At those prices, I rotate a set of shirts for everyday use and keep two or three brand new ones on standby just in case there is an important meeting. Un-tucked.

PANTS - Blue jeans, doesn't matter the brand, just plain ones. Immaculately pressed (even though I usually do not). Nothing fancy, nothing too nerdy.

SHOES - Sneakers, Jack Purcell. I love these things and they give me enough of a distinctive look that they are memorable. Like the shirts, I keep two or three virgin pairs in the box and only use them for important meetings (they go right back in afterwards). I have everyday Jack's to get around town.

With an M.O., you don't have to think about getting dressed in the morning and still have a decent shot at looking somewhat put together.

What's your M.O.?
