So if you get this part of the game right, then you will be blown away by the results. No matter how you look at it, people dress up to look better and attractive. Whether consciously or subconsciously We’re all trying to put ourselves together in ways that are deemed appealing.
Having good looks & dressing better definitely helps us to build confidence & attract more girls . You probably want to present yourself in a way that draws interest from women. You must know that there are a lot of other factors when it comes to style.
I’m going to go through a few style tips in this article to help you start looking and dressing better.
Let’s dive right In !
Almost 90% of men’s style is about understanding your right proportions. Before you even think of aesthetics or style, you need to know your body proportions. Models look great in everything, they can wear anything.
Suggest do yourself a favor and think about what looks best on you. No matter the style you are trying to pull off, choosing clothes that balance out your proportions Will automatically give you an edge.
You obviously know that men have body types too. So find styles and shapes of clothing that enhance your body type.
Proper fit is a key component of a great style. Make sure your shirts, pants, and suits have been tailored to fit perfectly. Wear nothing too tight or baggy.
For eg. If you’re tall and skinny with broad shoulders, pick the clothing items that enhance those features. Like high waisted pants to highlight your long legs And a better fit above to show off the upper body.
If you’re average height and short, avoid clothes that are too baggy Because they will make you look even shorter. Jackets with a cropped look and a strong shoulder line will also highlight your body.
Being in shape makes up around 75% of men’s style. Because when you are in good shape, you look good in really everything. And in my opinion, the ultimate style test for a man is to see how good you can look in a t- shirt and jeans.
If you can make something simple like a T-shirt and jeans look good in general. Then you can Have plenty of options to Pick from in terms of clothing. Keep in mind that you don’t have to be a shredded fitness Instagram model or anything.
I’m talking about just getting your body fat To a healthy athletic level and adding some muscle into your body frame to build up some key areas like Your shoulders, chest, arms and your back.
Many guys, in my experience, don’t want to handle the trouble of going shopping and building a new wardrobe. Simply finding something comfy and going on with their day is easy.
But the problem with this is That’s how you end up looking like an average nerd Who doesn’t put a lot of effort into his look and looks like everybody else.
Make the process easy on yourself to start with, and begin to build Some of the basics. As a good starting point. Shop with the plain T-shirts and neutral colors like White, black, gray, charcoal and Navy blue.
If you have darker skin, then you can also add tan or sandy tones to this list. And lighter Colors in general, which I will get later into this article.
Timeless pieces like a well-fitting pair of trousers, a white dress shirt, and a fitted navy blazer will always remain in style. These pieces can be mixed and matched for various occasions as well.
For pants get a pair of black jeans and a pair of light wash jeans and darker wash blue jeans. Choose pants that have various ways for being dressed. You can mix and match colors easily when using a palette of colors that are neutral.
For shoes, get a pair of plain white sneakers such as stan smith by Adidas or If you got some cash to spend, then you can never go wrong with common projects.
A quality pair of brown leather boots and chips boots In various neutral colors are also great to have in colder months and they go with many outfits as well.
An outfit’s shoes can make or break it. Invest on a couple quality pairs of sneakers, brown brogues, white sneakers, and casual loafers. Nice boots are always an easy way to elevate a simple outfit to a look that’s more eye-catching.
For Shorts, look into buying some chino shorts and some relaxed shorts with a drawstring. Again, go for more neutral colors to start with, because you can interchange them with other pieces very easily.
It’s much easier to match Navy shorts with another color instead of dark yellow or some awkward color that Doesn’t go with much.
Also, it’s critical to buy shorts that rest above the knee. Whatever you do, do not cover your knees with shorts. Not only does this look childish, but it makes you look shorter and It’s not attractive at all.
Look for a 9 inch inch inseam at the most, and make sure to experiment with a 7 inch inseam If you are confident in how your physique looks and your legs.
Now, the reason that I say to pick interchangeable pieces and neutral colors to start with Because you want to build a wardrobe That is interchangeable with each other.
The more options you have to mix and match the less clothing you will need to buy overall.
Keep this in mind when you’re shopping and build around items that are more plain in their appearance because the louder the clothing pieces are with their style and logos The more difficult they are to match with other items.
Every time you look into choosing an outfit, you should feel as if you have a ton of options and can easily spice things up. Enjoy with a few little changes or by adding some accessories.
I’m going into the Biggest mistake that guys make in my next point but this one is a very close second. And it’s a fact that most guys are wearing clothes that are not even fitting them properly. They’re just not a good fit for their physique at all.
There is a baggy or oversized aesthetic that has been trending in the last few years. But in general, most adult men are gonna look and feel better with clothes that are more tailored to their body type And display their physique in a positive way.
I personally don’t like to wear baggy or oversight aesthetics that often because It hides your body. And going back to the point of you being in shape It also hires the work that you’ve done in the gym.
That’s also a negative for attracting women Because they will obviously be attracted to a good body. So for that reason, if you want to mix in your baggy or oversized pieces then it is fine. However, focus the majority of your wardrobe around the items that best suit your physique.
Avoid wearing clothes so tightly that it appears like you’re at a baby store. However, the way your sleeves hug your arms should be complementing. Your jeans shouldn’t gather up at the shoe; instead, they should taper down your leg.
People should be drawn to your face and physique by your style. You don’t want them to be drawn to your clothes, but as a general rule, I always go for slim-fitting shirts and jeans. But you’ll have to experiment with your body type and know what feels best for you.
Make sure to utilize a tailor if your things don’t fit quite right. Tailor is something that all men should be using more often.
Most of the guys are dressing too childish. This is by far the biggest mistake guys making with their style is dressing too childishly for their age.
Now this doesn’t mean that you dress like a grandpa but you never Want to detract from your masculine appearance By making yourself look less mature than you are.
Common mistakes with this is by wearing silly childish graphic T shirts , baggy shorts that hit below the knee, lazy and sloppy footwear and clothes that just don’t fit right.
With graphics, you almost never want to wear this unless there is a reason for it to wear such as a very specific event or a sports event like a football game.
One exception that you can make with this is that the streetwear items can look cool sometimes with a certain aesthetic and a certain look. But again, you have to be carefully balancing the amount of logos, graphics & everything.
But definitely stop wearing graphic T shirts with funny punchlines and sayings on them. Graphic tees tend to distract from your look, rather than add to it. And that’s why good style can draw attention to your face and your overall look in a positive way.
Now, as a general rule of thumb, It’s always better to lean towards the classic masculine aesthetics than away from it. Think of someone like James Bond who wears tailored suits and shirts that compliments his physique, pants that taper nicely and nice shoes.
Nothing looks Childish or out of place and his clothing draws Focus to his face and his physique and not away from those features.
If you have a lighter screen, then you’re going to want to stick to darker neutrals on average. And If you have darker skin, then you’re gonna have more options with pastels and lighter colors.
The reason for this is that Lighter skin tones will tend to blend in and get lost in Lighter colors more easily and in other ways around.
And if you have very fair skin, then you can wear muted yellow. The contrast between your skin tone and clothing is gonna be very minimal versus someone who has a darker skin tone wears a nice shade of green or purple.
The color will pop more in the contrast to their skin tone in a positive way. To keep things simple in this article, Always consider your skin tone relative to the color you are choosing & make sure that they’re complimentary.
When you build your wardrobe together, don’t just spend a ton on your t-shirts and jeans, instead put that money through quality shoes and outerwear.
The reason for this is that there is no big difference in jeans and shirts for the price until you get to the highly expensive pieces. And even then, it becomes a question of if it’s even worth it or not?
Thus, shoes and outerwear are definitely worth it. And a quality jacket or a pair of shoes can last years if you take care of them.
Make sure your shoes are in good condition. To maintain their original appeal, clean and polish leather shoes on a regular basis.
Any outfit can be enhanced by a stylish coat or jacket. Pick timeless looks like a leather jacket, peacoat, or trench coat.
Sunglasses, a belt, and a watch can complete your look. Select accessories that enhance rather than overshadow your style.
If you wear sunglasses, pick frames that go well with the shape of your face and your style. And a watch has the potential to stand out. Pick one that complements your style and circumstances.
Layering gives your look a sense of scale Layer order is as follows: base layer (e.g., t-shirt), middle layer (e.g., shirt or sweater), and outer layer (e.g., coat or jacket).
If you mix patterns in your clothing, make sure it’s minimal. Match a solid tie with a patterned shirt, or the other way around. Stay within the same color family to avoid problems.
Your overall grooming, facial hair, and hairstyle all define your sense of style. Keep up a neat and appealing look. Washing your face should be added to your daily routine. You have to do it twice a day, first in the morning and the second in the night.
It helps to just clean out your face and prevent you from getting any pimples or spots on your face. And don’t forget to moisturize your face.
After washing your face, it’s always a good idea to apply moisturizer especially If you live somewhere where there is a dry atmosphere.
Now that you already know your body proportions and what you like Let’s get into what you should actually buy.
Stop relying completely on trends to buy clothes. You don’t have to look like everyone else on Instagram. Develop a unique personal style.
Create a timeless wardrobe capsule that suits your personality and your body type. A timeless wardrobe capsule just means buying basic pieces that can be styled very easily with other pieces to create as many outfits as possible.
Understand the dress code for different events. Casual, business casual, business formal, and black-tie all require different outfits.
Wear cologne and a deodorant. The deodorant is a must here okay. Put deodorant on your body every day, no exception at all.
Now for the cologne that’s optional, but you can wear it on different occasions as well. So if you are just chilling at home, then you can wear something nice and light.
And if you’re going out to a club or to hang out with your friends then you can go with something heavy, muscular and stronger.
Simply smell the scent of the clothing you are currently wearing. The problem is that even if your body is clean and you smell nice, you will probably smell bad if your clothing stinks.
Don’t leave the wet clothing in the washer for too long; if you do, they will smell awful and you will need to rewash them.
Instead, use an effective detergent to wash your clothes. And make sure the clothes are clean, pressed, and in good condition. Proper washing, drying, and storing can make a big difference.
Keep clothes to wear longterm in mind. It’s better to have 10 quality pieces than having 50 pieces of clothing items that you constantly ignore all the time.
Create mood boards to identify missing pieces. Experiment with new styles and trends cautiously. A mood board doesn’t have to be physical, You can easily create one on canva or Pinterest.
It’s a good way to put looks together before you try it out. Mood boards can help you find out which clothing items you are missing. So you can buy them intentionally.
Not, but not the least, I’m going to tell you the basic items you need to have to create a timeless wardrobe capsule.
Remember that creating your own style takes time. You’ll be able to dress in a way that enhances the way you look if you give yourself the time to grow while exposing yourself to trends you enjoy. Take inspiration from others, but make it your own.
