Every true fashion lover knows that do’s and don’ts actively govern the fashion world. These should always be considered and never broken if you want to always look great and elegant. Due to these rules, many people stick to basic outfits to not offend and be declared guilty by fashion courts. Basic is boring, and this is why this article has six excellent tips for men who want to stay stylish.
How do I look stylish every day?
There are straightforward things, that when you do, you exude an air of class and style, a couple of them include:
Know thyself
When Socrates said, “Know thyself, know they conduct,” he said something that also applies to style and to what we like to call metafashion, which is everything you do before and after you dress up. As a man, you shouldn’t just wear anything! It is essential to have a style that suits you, and you are very confident. Looking stylish doesn’t also have to eat deep into your wallet. You can look out for discounts and coupons that are guaranteed to work, and save a whole lot when it comes to buying clothes and accessories. Part of knowing yourself is knowing your purse.
Be mindful of your appearance
This may come off as motherly advice, but it is one of the many things you should consider. You must have a good cleaning routine so that your clothes will always look and smell clean. It’s white a disgrace to wear outfits with dirty necks and sleeves or have your jackets having a drench coming out of them. The first step to having an outstanding style is being clean.
Try watches
Watches are art, perfection, and certainly a beauty to behold. Your choice of watch says a whole lot about who you are. Know the rules on how to pick a watch that matches your style and outfit. Whether leather or chain, endeavor to go for the best that fits your wrist properly and compliments your outfit and skin tone.
Buy good shoes
Shoes are a need, not a want. If you want to look stylish and classy, it is important to up your shoe game and have at least one of every kind, as they will always come in handy. Buying a pair of good and quality shoes is essential as they are statement-makers that speak for you without you asking them to.
Keep the accessories subtle
Accessories are important as they help to complement and give finishing touches to an outfit. There is no doubt that a cufflink will look better on a shirt than the conventional buttons, and a tie can make you look like you just jumped out of a Forbes magazine. However, it is advisable to keep the accessories low and not overdo them. You could opt for pretty and simpler-looking cufflinks instead of what looks like a rock, wear a fitted wristwatch, and avoid all the chains, bangles, and hand charms if possible.
Dress for the event
This is a self-explanatory point. Style is not merely about self-expression; it’s about being dressed appropriately for your environment. Remember that your outfit is like a code, and you do not want to look out of place. Learn to dress for any event you are attending and look your best as it says a lot about you.
Dressing well does not always have to cost a fortune. It does not have to be complex. It also does not require that you wear a suit every day or buy new stuff every week. In fact, for most men, the best way to look stylish and upgrade your appearance is to start doing less than more. Minimal accessories can be the secret to your classic stylish look. You must be conscious of your style and appearance so that you are never caught off-guard and found guilty by the fashion courts.
