Dressing well is not for everyone, and to affirm this, a basic look on the street is enough to see countless men making terrible mistakes in their looks. Of course, nobody becomes a style icon overnight, but a good sense of style doesn’t hurt anyone (David Beckham is there to prove it).
Want to become one of those guys who are well regarded by the public? Then follow some men’s fashion tips and learn how to dress better on special occasions and in everyday life.
1. Have basic T-shirtsÂ
To dress well you don’t need to dare all the time. In fact, one of the secrets to not making mistakes in your look is to use simple and neutral pieces as a base. Therefore, it is essential that you have at least one or two simple t-shirts, which will serve as a joker both in casual and formal compositions (in the latter case, under a shirt).Â
2. Dress according to the occasionÂ
There is an appropriate type of clothing for every occasion (park, work, shopping, …). Therefore, choose your clothes wisely, especially for work, because, believe me, your clothes directly influence your professional performance.
3. Pay attention to detailsÂ
A fold on the sleeve, a shirt with a different collar, a cool tie, jeans with a more modern wash, and even a shoe with a finer detail: all this indicates that, yes, you are a fashionable man. So, go for the details, they will make all the difference in your look and in the perception that others will have of you.
4. Invest in a good pair of jeansÂ
Even though they are unanimous among all styles, there are men who still make mistakes when it comes to choosing the perfect pair of jeans. Despite the wide variety of models and colors available, it’s best to opt for straight cut jeans that fit your body.
5. Have social pantsÂ
Even if it is not part of your daily life, eventually, there will be an occasion that will require you to wear social pants. If you are not used to wearing this type of clothing, look for models in neutral colors, like black, for example.Â
6. Renew your shoesÂ
Yes, have a pair of shoes for each type of occasion. Sneakers are for informal events, sapato casual, obviously, for work, and running shoes, obviously, for jogging. That way you avoid wearing the same shoe 1001 times and keep the others longer – and your look will go accordingly.
7. Pay attention to socks
Black suit and white socks? Only Michael Jackson, my friend. Try to wear white socks only when wearing tennis shoes, sneakers, and running shoes. On formal occasions, please “match” the tone of your socks to the clothes you are wearing (navy blue, brown, black, etc).
8. Wear the correct size for youÂ
Another thing we easily see is men wearing clothes that are too big or too baggy. The tip is: not too big, not too tight. Try to wear the right size so that you look nice. This will certainly appreciate your value, even if you are a little overweight.
9. Belt and shoesÂ
Even though the rule is not to match, this is an important point: belts and shoes must always be the same color.
10. Invest in accessoriesÂ
More and more guys are surrendering to accessories, be it a bracelet, a cord, a belt, and even hats (common in Europe), which are also on trend this season and make the look more interesting.
11. White shirt is a jokerÂ
If before it was worn only in formal looks, today the social shirt goes through different styles and occasions. The white one is the right choice for those who want to start using this piece on a daily basis and combine it with any outfit.Â
12. Wear a wristwatchÂ
Of course your phone already obeys this function, but the wristwatch is that “plus” that every stylish guy needs.
13.Don’t be a slave to trendsÂ
Nothing against being inspired by some current trends, but if you change your entire closet every season to follow everything that the fashion industry promotes, you will end up spending more than you earn and will never have a style of your own.
14. Invest in timeless pieces
As opposed to trends, there are some timeless pieces (like a leather and military jacket or a well-cut black blazer) that don’t get old. Have these jokers at your disposal whenever you need them, as they go with almost everything!
15. Know your body typeÂ
A tight T-shirt like the professional model you saw in the brand’s catalog will not look good if you are 10 kilos over your ideal weight. Be aware of your body shape (tall, short, thin, plus size) and dress accordingly.Â
16. Beard,hair and mustacheÂ
Never adopt a haircut that has nothing to do with you. A “trendy” cut may look good on your little friend, but not on your face type, for example. Another thing to pay attention to is the beard. Leave it the way you like it, but take care of it, i.e., apply lotion, conditioner, and whatever else you need to make it look nice.Â
