How do you assert status even when you bro it down?

I know that as WASPs we usually get in the habit of icing the wrist when we just bro down our outfits--I suspect this is a habit most of us picked up sometime in school and never outgrow. The watch I wear when I'm dressed down is far more ostentatious than anything I would wear to the office or out with a babe.

Does anyone else have any more unique ways that are still effective of claiming status while dressing down?

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

TylerTHaving an uncle who was a very prominent man (Robert Lehman's close friend and attorney), I can say it was how he held himself, spoke, and entered a room that made it immediately obvious he was powerful and his status.
Although, he and my aunt are fantastic people who never tried to show it, you just knew that he was influential and didn't need to "show" it.

So, if I learned anything from that it was how to hold oneself and speak....and working on that is more important to me.

Great answer. What kind of mannerisms do you associate with power, poise, and assertiveness then?

This reminds me of some advice my own great uncle once gave me. "Never wear a monogram. If you matter, everybody knows who you are, and if you don't matter, why do you want to proclaim that to the world with a monogram?"

Maybe try to refrain from saying stuff like "icing our wrist", "bro down our outfits" or referring to a girl as "a babe". That should help to prevent you from claiming the status of an asshat. Nominate this thread for worst post ever.
