How To Dress Well – Rules Every Man Should Follow
Need to look sharp and polished? Here are some tips to help you out:
Wear a Suit Well
The key to a suit looking great is fit. If you’re buying from a store, focus on the fit across the shoulders. Getting the chest and waist altered is a relatively easy job as compared to altering the shoulders. Be careful about wearing a period suit unless because in isolation the suit will seem like a novelty.
Traditional is the best and most useful – dark, two-button, single-breasted, and moderate details. A suit is a uniform. The idea is to think of this suit as a canvas to build your individuality around. It’s the way you carry it and not the label inside that impresses.
Invest Wisely In A Watch
A watch is like a piece of art. However, you also have to be practical. Aesthetic, functional, rugged sports models look good with anything and can take the hard knocks of everyday wear. Yet, a watch still has to fit you. It should feel comfortable and be right in terms of size and depth relative to your wrist size and overall body type.
Don’t Shy Away From Colour
Whether it’s casual wear or formal wear, indulge in a bit of color. Most men are unjustly afraid of it – they’re intimidated by anything that isn’t navy, grey or white. But color can be timeless too. A green suit, for instance, can look particularly stylish. Pinks, greens, mustard, and brighter shades of blue are versatile year-round shades that would lift your entire outfit. However, when it comes to color, less is still more. You just need a bit of it.
Look After Your Appearance
If you’ve spent money and put thought into your clothing, look after it. Use wooden hangers for shirts and shoe trees for your best shoes. Have your suit dry-cleaned and pressed. Wash your clothes regularly and, ideally, don’t tumble dry them (it can degrade the fabric). Polish your shoes regularly.
Remember, it’s not just the skin of your leather jacket that you need to care for, the same goes for the jacket you wear every day. Establish a simple, yet solid, grooming routine, brush your hair and cut your nails. After all, the devil resides in the details.
