Celebrity Lawyer Arthur Aidala Proves Being Stylish Doesn’t Have to mean Pricey
NEW YORK, NY – In a profession often associated with power suits and prestige brands, celebrity lawyer Arthur Aidala is making a name for himself with a distinctive personal style that prioritizes detail and confidence over exorbitant cost. From his signature fedoras to his insistence on suiting up for court,Aidala demonstrates that projecting success doesn’t require a limitless budget.
Aidala’s penchant for hats began with a visit to the JJ Hat Center on Fifth Avenue, where he acquired both winter and summer styles. The fedora has since become his trademark,prominently featured during television appearances,press conferences,and even a weekly “Fedora Friday” campaign orchestrated by his social media team. Despite the iconic status, Aidala maintains a practical approach to his wardrobe, believing that appearance directly impacts perception. “If you dress like a lawyer, you’re going to feel like a lawyer, think like a lawyer, act like a lawyer and be a better lawyer,” he explained. ”If you’re a client, you want to put your trust in someone who knows what they’re doing.And I think if someone dresses in a certain way, it gives off the impression that they’re paying attention to details.”
This attention to detail extends to the courtroom, where Aidala emphasizes the importance of a strong first impression. “Whether it’s the client, the opposing counsel, the judge and, most importantly, the jury, you only get one chance to make your first impression,” he said. He carefully considers every element, “From my watch to my pen to my pad to my briefcase, there’s such a delicate balance of showing a jury that you’re paying attention to detail.”
However, Aidala is careful to avoid ostentation. He specifically avoids expensive watches and cufflinks, opting instead for a rose gold Maserati watch purchased in Capri simply because he liked the color. He also firmly believes sunglasses are a no-go during press conferences, stating, “It looks like you’re hiding something.”
Beyond his professional presentation,Aidala’s personality shines through in his Midtown office,which features a “Sinatra room” – a personal retreat complete with a massage chair,memorabilia,a wet bar,record player,and a large-screen TV. He describes it as a place to “chill, maybe take a nap,” and a popular hangout for figures like Geraldo Rivera, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Alan Dershowitz. “It’s a little tiny sliver of paradise when clients start freaking out and the walls are caving in. You go in there to calm down a little bit. Everyone needs a place to escape.”
Despite his current success in law, Aidala initially considered a career in the performing arts. He was a “thespian” in high school and college, participating in band and acting, but ultimately chose law for its ”intellectual stimulation.” His enduring passion for performance, however, continues to inform his approach to his career and public image.
