What are the dress requirements for private bodyguards?

In terms of clothing, fashion and function have been inconsistent for a long time. The style suitable for the occasion may sometimes make you wear clothes with fewer functions than you want, and wearing clothes on the occasion will make you more comfortable, but you will eventually stand out because of insufficient clothes. Someone once told me, "never wear too little on a certain occasion." I remember this and try my best never to wear too little, even if I'm not the most fashionable person. In terms of clothing, function and fashion have been bothering bodyguards, just like others. Personal bodyguards usually have to choose the clothes they will wear according to the itinerary of the day. If necessary, this may also include changing clothing in details. Most people should understand that the more high-grade clothes, the less functions. Therefore, considering the clothes they need to wear while maintaining a professional appearance, bodyguards must make themselves as functional as possible. Go out for a walk. In the details of daily places (shops, markets, beaches, etc.), bodyguards should wear loose clothes suitable for their location. Wearing a suit at the farmers' market with your customers is a major concern, and more people will try to find out who you are protecting, not what you want. This is one of the few times you can wear more practical clothes than other clothes. Try to wear comfortable pants with a standard number of pockets and allow the use of strong load-bearing belts. Beautiful jeans or khakis (not just tan) are easy to use. You can wear T-shirts according to the location, but T-shirts can easily appear careless, so try to avoid wearing them, but wear button short sleeved shirts, which can keep you semi professional / casual at the same time. If the temperature is right, you can also wear a flannel shirt. If necessary, you can roll up your sleeves. If needed, both styles of shirts allow you to hide and carry a pistol better than a T-shirt. Polo shirts are OK, but now you risk standing out as a former military contractor, which means paying more attention to your customers. The middle ground of the evening event dress code is to go out with your customers at night. This can include locations from the local dinner restaurant to the club. Unfortunately, the dress code will depend more on the location here than ever before. If your customer wants to have dinner with friends in a local restaurant, you may wear your farmer's market clothes. On the other hand, if customers want to go to a five-star restaurant, they may not come in polo shirts and jeans. If you know you want to take the customer out at night, please use the intermediate method. Wear a button up long sleeved shirt with slacks. You can still roll up your sleeves if necessary. However, you will notice that you will not be able to carry some equipment that is not stuffed with shirts and khakis. You need to find out what you want to bring when you go out on a wonderful night. If you go to the club, this dress can also be used. Remember, you may be searched by the on-site security personnel, so be careful with your equipment. Business occasions inevitably, you will participate in fashion shows, award ceremonies, political parties or other activities. Here, you can use the best James Bond suit. Please note that James Bond doesn't wear neon or crocodile shoes. The subtlety of the suit is very important. Most awards ceremonies will require you to wear a black suit with a white shirt and black tie, which is a necessary suit in your wardrobe. Prepare a dark blue or gray suit in case you find yourself in a more relaxed environment, such as a political dinner or fashion show. However, if you want to wear a suit, it must be tailored. Depending on the equipment you carry (hidden weapons or not), you can decide how to customize it. The accessories of suits also need to be exquisite. There's no need to use a trumpet shaped square scarf or crazy tie to attract attention. This reminds me of a tie to wear according to your risk assessment. Always remember that a real tie is something that can be used against you in confrontation, so consider leaving the tie at home or wearing a good clip (it will look tacky if you screw up). When you have to wear a tie, such as some award ceremonies, it is understood from your risk assessment that these specific programs have a lot of additional security, and in these low-risk events, you are unlikely to be caught with a tie. This will eventually lend us the equipment you will carry. EP items are kept to a minimum during these activities because formal clothes fit very well. Don't worry, because of the dress restrictions, you can't carry too many things anyway. Shoes are probably the most important clothes for personal bodyguards. Obviously, we need to make sure we wear clean shoes. But bodyguards sometimes need to stand for hours. Please make sure your shoes are comfortable. A good, well fitting insole can create miracles for both feet to stand. The other most important part of the shoe is the outsole. Formal shoes are easy to slide around, which is bad for customers. Choose shoes with outsole traction. I like Kenneth Cole Reaction Model. It is suitable for matching formal jeans and casual pants. If you match it correctly, you can also match it with a suit. At the same time, there is a sticky sole to keep you energetic. When you wear jeans, you may choose trainer type shoes, but the situation will be decided. Leave your combat boots at home. Unless you go to the shooting range with your customers or fast rope with your customers, the combat boots are too radical and you stick out like your thumb again. Finally, you need to match your clothes to the situation. Sometimes it means you want to look safe, sometimes you want to be more subtle. When choosing clothes for bodyguard tasks, one of the main things that should be done is to evaluate where you are going. After understanding where you are going, the main focus is to choose clothes that are practical for detailed functions, but will not stand out from the crowd around you. If you are more prominent than your customers, you are too eye-catching. Your customers may not be kind to be robbed by their bodyguards. Conclusion as a private bodyguard, we should follow the example of "silent professionals", and so should our clothes Kai Chen
