They say that style is a way to say who you are without speaking. However, some men might have trouble getting their fashion sense to where they want it to be. Plus, we all know how confusing dress codes can be at times. Lucky for you, Attire Club is here to help you out! Scroll down to find some tested outfit inspiration for some of your upcoming events.
The importance of suitable men’s attire
There are many reasons why men should pay attention to their style. First and foremost, having a well-put-together outfit leaves a great impression. And since we live in a fast-paced world, it’ll often be the only impression you make. Moreover, countless studies prove how a good fashion sense can help you be more confident, which in turn helps you attain success. So, never take for granted the ability to put together a good outfit that’s appropriate for the situation you’re in.
Handsome wedding guest
You received an invitation to a friend or relative’s wedding, but you can’t decide what to wear. Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered! The most important factor to consider here is the dress code, which is usually noted down on the wedding invitation.
If it says black tie, you’ll need a formal outfit. However, many weddings require a black tie optional dress code, but allow (by mentioning on the invitation) guests to come in a regular suit rather than a tuxedo. So, a dark suit & tie combo is acceptable. Alternatively, you can wear a midnight-blue tuxedo if you don’t want to go with a black one. Cocktail wedding attire allows for much more freedom, so you can choose a bold necktie or an interesting pocket square as an accent piece in your outfit. If the dress code says casual, your safest bet is a not-black suit, a solid-colored dress shirt, and a necktie.
Bond style at the casino
For those wondering what to wear to a casino, you’ve got several options at your disposal. Of course, you first need to figure out the casino’s dress code. If you’re attending a special event at the casino, it’s likely to be formal. In this case, you can go the James Bond route with a black and white tuxedo. Alternatively, you can put on a three-piece suit, which is a trendy and easily accessible option.
If your casino outing is semi-formal, you can wear a plain shirt accompanied by a quality jacket or blazer. A business casual dress code is the easiest option that allows the most freedom. Your outfit can consist of an open-collar, a dress shirt, or a polo shirt paired with a sports coat or a blazer. For pants, slacks or regular khakis are both acceptable options, along with a loafer-style shoe.
Casual yet attractive at the beach
Men‘s swimming outfits have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering a stylish and comfortable option for those who want to make a statement at the beach or the pool.
If you’re in need of beachwear, we prepared a few options for you. Though most men would prefer a lazy outfit so they can unwind to the fullest, paying a bit of attention to the pieces you’re wearing can lead to a fantastic look.
For those that want a classic look, a pair of chino trousers are the way to go. You can pair them with a white tank top and an unbuttoned shirt. To finish the look off, you can wear your white sneakers and maybe add some accessories, like sunglasses or a necklace. Alternatively, you can go for a pair of printed swim trunks and a colorful tee. Make sure to pick out bright, summery colors that still complement each other.
Business dinners
When dressing for a business dinner, it’s important to choose clothing that presents you in the most well-groomed and refined light. After all, a good impression is always important and could lead to a successful business outcome.
Firstly, you want to wear muted patterns or dark solid colors, like grays, browns, reds, or blues. For a suit, you should pick wool or a wool blend and pair it with a silk necktie. Of course, you want to pick a more light-colored shirt to bring a bit of contrast to the outfit. For footwear, you can choose a leather shoe, preferably oxfords or loafers, and always make sure to polish them. Of course, you always want your shoes and belt to match, as well as your socks and pants. As for jewelry, no more than a tasteful watch is needed.
Ultimately, style is all about looking great and feeling confident at the same time. Being occasion-appropriate will make you feel not only great about yourself, but it will also make you feel that you fit well where you are, thus acting like a confidence booster. And that’s why your clothes can act as a strong confidence-builder.Â
