Dress The Part: Trust, Style & First Impressions, with Alexandra Wood Bespoke

Estate agency is a trust business… and whether we like it or not, trust often gets decided before you’ve even said hello. In this episode, Simon Leadbetter is joined by Alex Wood of Alexandra Wood Bespoke — the first female Savile Row tailor and a “menswear visionary” who’s built a modern luxury brand in a world of tradition, hierarchy, and (let’s be honest) a lot of blokes. They get into: 🧠 Why first impressions still matter in 2026 (even if you hate shopping) 🧥 How to look credible, modern and human — without trying too hard 👔 Suits vs hoodies, ties vs open collars… and the real crime: the badly fitting suit 🧳 Capsule wardrobes, decision fatigue, and why “quality costs less” over time 🎯 Dressing authentically: finding “you” rather than copying a trend 🌟 Plus: who Alex would most love to tailor for (hello Idris 👀) 📚 Pre-order Alex’s book at alexandrawoodbespoke.co.uk And don’t forget to subscribe to Voice of the Agent on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts for more data-led insights, guest experts, and conference highlights.
