1.
Fit is King –
The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make
sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too
large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging
the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an
epidemic.
2.
Keep it simple –
You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it.
Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three
colors. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If
you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a
black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans,
a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a
flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but
nothing more.
3.
Change the way you see casual –
casual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with shirts or take some
inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently.
4. Pay
attention to your supporting pieces -
Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule
of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re
wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom
needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a
beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as
casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.
5.
Never go shopping alone –
Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they
usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you
their honest opinion.
6.
Stay a notch above – Don’t
overdo it to a fault, but dare to take some risks. It’s always
better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any
setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re
going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re
not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain
setting, like your boss.
7. Never
underestimate the power of details –
The last thing on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the
details instead of throwing together the main parts of your outfit.
“Details” can include a scarf, a subtle pocket square, or the way
you tie your tie knot.
8.
Invest in a superb pair of shoes –
If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes.
Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and
press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most
guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by
getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.
9.
Fashion Tees with logos –
When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk
looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and
go for a classic v-neck tee or something artsy
10.
Disregard trends –
Beware of buying something just because it’s “in” right now –
stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the
latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear.
It’s better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe
first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion.
11.
Don’t be a sucker for brand names –
Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying
it simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality
and style. Ask yourself, “Would I buy this if there was no
logo on it?”
12.
Continually cultivate your image –
Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion
sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth
caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships.
13.
Ask for real feedback -
Most of your friends and family aren’t going to go out of their way
to tell you what looks bad. You have to ask for it. In fact, ask
anyone and everyone you trust to tell you the truth. Ask your
hairstylist, ask your best friend, ask your mother!
14. Upgrade
your shave -
Even if your fashion is golden, an unkempt beard can be an attraction
killer. Achieve a perfect shave by trying a shave brush &
old-fashioned double-edged razor.
15.
Experiment with style –
The only way you’ll really learn, is if you go out there and try
new things. I make an effort to try something completely out of my
comfort zone whenever I’m at a store – many times you’ll end up
loving something you never thought you would. If you make mistakes,
life goes on. So many guys are afraid to express themselves through
their style, don’t be one of them.
