There might be a lot of rules in life, but some of them are there to help you. If you want to make sure that you look great regardless of the situation, then this is the guide for you.
Wear a Suit Well
The key to a great-looking suit is one that fits you well. If you buy off the peg, then take special note of how it fits you across your shoulders. Getting the chest altered or even the waist is not a big job at all. That being said, you should be cautious about wearing some kind of period suit. If you don’t wear a full period look then you may find that you begin to look dated and your suit will appear more like a novelty item. Classic is best, so make sure that you opt for a single-breasted suit that is dark, with two buttons. You might think that a suit like this is boring but it’s not really. It’s a blank canvas and it will help you to build lots of ideas regarding individuality around it. If you want to go casual, then you can invest in American made flannel.
Invest in a Watch
A watch is like a great piece of art. Choose it because you absolutely love it and not because you think it will look good. Rugged sports models tend to go very well with just about anything and they can also take some of the hard knocks that come with day-to-day wear. That being said, your watch has to be comfortable, and it has to fit well in terms of the size and the depth. 40mm is the general size you should be going for if you just don’t know where to start.
Color isn’t a Bad Thing
It doesn’t matter whether you are opting for casual wear or even formal wear, because you have to indulge in color from time to time. Most men feel somewhat intimidated by anything that is not grey or navy. That being said, you have to remember that color is timeless. A green suit may look garish, but if you incorporate pinks, mustard, greens and even brighter shades of blue into your outfit, then you will soon find that you have a very versatile look that can rocket your entire outfit. You need a bit of everything in a single garment, as opposed to focusing on a single color for your whole suit.
Wear in your Jeans
Jeans are the most useful cut. You need to choose jeans that are slim-tapered if you possibly can. The main reason for this is because they are a bit wider in the thigh and they are comfortable for men. That being said, they do narrow so they work well with smart shoes or even sneakers. Jeans are the best all-year option if you want to dress your outfit up or down, so make sure that you keep this in mind. Of course, you have to remember that the whole pleasure that comes with denim is that it ages with you. Why would you miss out on something like this?
Look after Yourself
This is the kind of advice your parents might give you, but if you are truly invested in your appearance then you have to make sure that you look after yourself and your clothing. Use wooden hangers for your shirts and also make sure that you have a shoe tree for your shoes. Make sure that you get your clothes pressed on a regular basis and do not tumble dry them either. Equally, it is not the skin of your leather jacket that you need to care for. You need to establish a good grooming routine and you also need to brush your hair. Cutting your nails is also very important.
Simple Underwear
Style isn’t what everyone can see. When it comes to male underwear, there are two rules that you have to follow. To begin with, novelty prints are not for grown men. Your underwear is not the place where you will want to express your personality. Heavily branded underwear also lacks sophistication. The best style for you to go with is cotton boxer shorts. They can take repeated washing, they wear well and they also breathe as well. On top of this, it’s also very comfortable against your skin. Now, you may be thinking, why does underwear matter? After all, it’s not going to be shown off. That being said, it’s important because of the way that it makes you feel. If you feel sophisticated, then this starts with your undergarments.
