Stepford Archetypes ⌚
The basic criteria for the Stepford style are:
Khaki pants.
Tucking in the clothes.
Visible belt.
Dress shoes.
Classic hairstyle.
If you want to adopt the Stepford style, do it gradually - not all at once. People shouldn't be shocked; they should slowly understand where you're heading. Gradually replace your wardrobe. Take more care with your grooming and your home, keep a schedule, and avoid being loud. There are different types of Stepford styles, and I'll show them to you now.
1) The Gent
Defined by: Dress Shirt + Khaki Pants.
They may also wear blazers, but that's not mandatory.
Example 1 (blazer):
This is the easiest Stepford style to adopt because it's widely accepted in the mainstream, especially in the finance and business industries. You don't have to be a banker to dress this way - the style is very affordable, as button-down shirts don't have to be expensive if you know where to look.
People may also take you more seriously, even if you aren't wealthy.
Example 2 (non-blazer):
2) The Good Boy
Defined by: Dress Shirt + Sweater Vest + Khaki Pants.
When you give a Gent a sweater vest, he becomes a Good Boy. This style is less common in the mainstream, which makes it even more obvious that you're a Stepford. However, once your Stepford cult is large enough, that won't matter.
Example 1:
The sweater vest is especially useful in colder weather, such as autumn or spring. It gives your style a neat touch that can make you seem more educated and approachable, though some people may assume you're privileged.
Example 2 (ignore the shoes):
3) The Rich Kid
Defined by: Poloshirt + Khaki Pants.
This style is common among wealthy people - just watch Donald Trump while he's golfing. Unlike the Gent, the Rich Kid doesn't come across as a banker; he comes across as a spoiled person looking for ways to have fun. I recommend this style when you're going to a sports-related activity with friends.
