In both your personal and professional life, you own brand is very important. The way you conduct yourself, your values and your work are all part of what we can call your brand. But, as with any brand, the inside should be reflected on the outside as well. This is why, it is of very high importance to always be on top of your game and make the best of your appearance.

It is crucial to bring your A-game to whatever you do. Even if you are always doing this, sometimes you feel that your style is going in circles and want to give yourself more or less of a makeover.

In this guide, you can discover some easy-to-do ways to give yourself a makeover. You can follow one, a few or all of these steps to achieve a change in your looks and, by extension, in your attitude, as the way you look can have a very strong influence on the way you feel.

Here they are:

 

 

Change your hair

Our hairstyle is one of our big visual identifiers. If you want a quick, simple makeover, you can easily change your whole vibe by just changing your hair. If your hair length allows, you can play a lot with it: ask a stylist to suggest a haircut or go with a picture of a celebrity or model wearing the haircut you want to have and show it to them. Remember though that not all haircuts look the same on every face type, so it’s important to know how to choose a great haircut for your face shape.

Sometimes, you don’t really want to make a drastic change or don’t want to call too much attention to your hair. In this case, you can go from whatever your haircut might be to a simple buzz cut – this will give you a new look, but it won’t be the talk of the town.

If you are bald, you can try on a wig or more and see what they do for you.

Also, dying your hair can do wonders for your look. Remember that you if you go gray, you don’t necessarily need to color your hair in your natural color: getting blond highlights might work better in your favor.

We know that sometimes it can take some time to get used to a new hairstyle, so we recommend getting a new haircut at a moment when you have time to adjust. Having a brand new image just before attending an event for example might make you feel awkward, so if you are going for a change, you should do it a bit ahead of time.

 

 

Get new clothes

This step is the obvious one and is something everyone should do every once in a while. As you evolve, so should your style. Therefore, we recommend buying new clothes that fit you well from time to time. Also, you might want to consider going for something that is a bit out of your comfort zone. Maybe you’ll end up liking it and changing your whole style.

As a quick tip, we can give you a suggestion: buying new shoes often makes you feel like a brand new man, so in case you don’t have much time or budget to get a bunch of new things, getting a new pair of shoes will make wonders both for your image and for your attitude.

 

 

Tailor your clothes

In case you don’t want to go all the way out and buy new clothes and accessories, simply tailoring a few pieces might work well in your favor. Many of us have a few clothes that are too big: a jacket, a blazer, a coat, pants that are too long and fold twice or more times at the bottom, etc. Take some of these pieces to a tailor and have them adjust them according to your size. You will feel like getting a new skin in no time!

 

 

Whiten your teeth

Whitening your teeth is another way to change your aspect. Your mouth and your smile are one of the first things people notice about you and putting the time, effort and resources to whiten your teeth will definitely pay off. Not only will you look better, but, knowing that you’ve got nothing to worry about, you will feel very confident, which will change your whole image.

 

 

Grow your beard, shave your beard…

Men have a great element which they can use to easily change their style, and that is the wonderful beard. If you usually sport a beard, try shaving it off or giving it another shape. If you are always sporting a clean shave, grow some stubble or a goatee and make sure you trim it well. You will get a new face in no time.

Also, if you don’t want to make a too drastic of a change, note that you can simply adjust the size of your sideburns to give your whole face a new shape.

 

 

Trim your eyebrows

Men with big eyebrows can give themselves a makeover by changing the shape and/or size of their brows. Now, we don’t recommend making them too thin, as you might look very disproportionate and, unless you really know what you are doing, we don’t recommend doing it alone. Have a professional look at them and, before you hire them, make sure they know what they’re talking about too. Look for recommendations from friends or from online forums or review sites to make sure the stylist won’t give you a look that will make you cringe.

 

 

Get a tan

Older men will find that being tanned will make them more youthful and will give them a more masculine and dynamic vibe. These days, getting a tan can be done very easily, with napkins, sprays, tanning beds, etc. Despite this, we still recommend sitting in the sun, but not during high radiation hours.

 

 

Additional information

If you want to change the way you look overall, you can definitely do that by methods that, while we wish would could, don’t happen overnight. Working out and eating well are great measures you can take to make sure you will not only maintain a youthful image, but that you will be healthy, energetic and strong as well.

 

Changing the way you look for the better will have a tremendously high impact and your attitude and on the way you see the world. If you feel like you need to change something, we definitely recommend doing it. However, you need to remember that your looks should not serve as a crutch: if you have deeper problems, they won’t get fixed with a makeover as your image and style are in the end a reflection of who you are and how you feel on the inside.
