Fashion Tips for the Well-Dressed Men
July 3, 2009
Here are some fashion tips for discerning men, who want to make an impression. The ideas can be categorized under the following broad heads:
Fit
The most important element in good dressing is wearing clothes that fit well. The key here is wearing a piece of clothing that fits without being too tight or too large. It should accentuate the good features on one’s body.
Design and Style
Think simple and casual for a good dressing style! Do not attempt something too flashy, instead opt for an understated elegant look with well cut jackets, blazers, or dress shirts.
Mix and match fabrics and prints appropriately. For example, wearing a fisherman’s sweater with jeans is a better bet than wearing it with a silk and wool pant. Better to be overdressed at an occasion than being underdressed- Just ensure not to steal the thunder of the guest of honor!
Accessorize
Subtle accessories like a pocket square, a watch, a scarf or perhaps the way you knot your tie can enhance any outfit. Start with building a basic wardrobe, with timeless, classic pieces.
Disregard trends and brand names; buy clothing that suits you and your personality. Liven up your basic wardrobe with interesting pieces like scarves, cuff links, watches, and shoes. Mix and match your clothing pieces to make them more versatile.
Footwear
Footwear is often the most neglected part of a man’s wardrobe. A good pair of shoes makes any outfit complete. Clean, polished shoes reflect a man’s taste and grooming.
Invest in a good pair of shoes today to see a visible difference in your overall appearance. Clogs and crocs are fashion disasters; avoid them at all costs.
Grooming
Complement your new style and dressing with a clean shave. An unkempt beard is a turn-off. Take time off for your grooming requirements. A clean shave shows the pains that you have taken to look your best.
Also, an undershirt underneath your dress shirt or sweater will absorb the sweat, dirt, and body oils making for a fresh appearance.
As a last word, dare to experiment with style. That’s the only way you will learn. If you make mistakes, learn from them. So many men are afraid to express themselves through their style, do not be one of them!
