Men nowadays have are becoming more and more into the latest fashion trends; even ones who are not aware of doing so! Clothes play a very important role in interacting with people—knowing how to dress smart is a must if you want to earn the respect and leave a good first impression to people you meet. This is why, for all you men out there who do not have a care about the fashion world but want to turn a new leaf, you have to live by these tips from now on!
Tip #1: On Tops
No, wearing whatever shirt you see in your closet is not good enough. You have to invest in shirts that fit you well—have them customized by your tailor if you have the means. Wearing shirts of the wrong shapes or size will make your outfit look drab. Keep your button down shirts tucked, especially if it is too long for your height. However, if you’re uncomfortable in wearing a tucked shirt, make sure that it doesn’t fall lower than two inches below the hips.
Another good investment is blazers—this added a bit of flair and sophistication to an otherwise plain outfit. Make sure that your blazer fits you well and hugs the right parts of your upper body. It should be snug across the shoulders and in the arms.
Tip #2: On Bottoms
Lower-rise or medium cuts are the craze nowadays. Also look for pants with slim leg and make sure that the ankle opening is narrow if you want to keep your outfit trendy. It’s also advisable to have your trousers tailor-made to keep all your goods snug and nice inside. Ready-to-wear pants are also okay as long as you have the patience to try everything out before making a purchase.
Tip #3: On Footwear
Shoes are probably the easiest buy. Choose ones with a classic style and good quality that will last you for years. Try walking in them before you pay so you can be sure of the comfort it will bring. All the burnt of your daily activities fall down on your feet—it’s important to keep them safe and comfortable throughout your busy day.
Tip #4: Additional Accessories
To add a little more edge to a simple outfit, you can wear scarves twisted up and tightly knotted around the neck or simply draped over your shoulders. Watches are also a must—classic silver or gold wristwatches can make or break an ensemble. Bags and cases are also something you have to think about; do they look good with your outfit or look somehow misplaced?
Overall, do your research on outfits that go well together to get a grasp of the do’s and don’ts in dressing up. Add a dash of confidence and a bit of charm, and you’re good to go!
