15 Quick Fashion Tips for Men
1. Fit is King – The most dramatic improvement you can make in your
style is to make sure everything fits. Most guys wear clothes that are
too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the curves of
your body - without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic, cure yourself.
2. Keep it simple – You want a wardrobe that looks great on you but
you don’t want to overdo it. For example, don’t wear more than three
pieces of jewellery or more than three colours. Don’t dress like a rock
star unless you’re in a band.
 If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be
sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of
jeans, a white belt, and your favourite pair of shoes. You could also
add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace,
but nothing more.
3. Change the way you see casual - casual doesn’t have to be boring.
Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who
approach casual a bit differently.
4. Pay attention to your supporting pieces - Some sweaters are lean
and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top
and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged
fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too.
Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit
pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargoes or jeans, or
dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.
5. Never go shopping alone – You can never really trust the sales
people because they usually work for commission. Read about shopping on
a budget.
6. Stay at least a notch above - Don’t overdo it to a fault, but
still take some risks. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed
than underdressed in a situation. All you have to do is think about
where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one notch. But
make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important
in a certain setting, like your boss.
7. Never underestimate the power of details – The last thing on is
usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of throwing
together the main parts of your outfit. “Details” can include a scarf, a
subtle pocket square, to the way you tie your tie knot.
8. Invest in a good pair of shoes – If it’s one thing that women will
notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean they are. It’s easy to
wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but
most guys disregard their shoes. Show you’re a man of taste by getting a
nice pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition. It’s the
fastest way to showing others that you take care of yourself.
9. Fashion Tees with logos – When you’re going around with a big logo
on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard.
10. Disregard trends – You shouldn’t wear something just because it’s
“in” right now. Always build a versatile and timeless (or classic)
wardrobe first, and then bring in your own twists with some of the new
stuff. This one tip has saved me so much money.
11. Don’t be a sucker for brand names - Don’t be a Patrick Bateman.
Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying it
because it’s “in style” or because it genuinely suits you. Ask yourself
if you would buy the garment if it didn’t have a logo on it.
 12. Stay away from clogs and Crocs - They look good on nobody. Enough
said.
13. An undershirt is an undershirt - An undershirt is meant to be
worn underneath your dress shirt or sweater to absorb the sweat, dirt,
and body oils that we all inevitable secrete. This way you might be able
to get away with not having to launder the shirt every time you wear it,
and you shirt will be around for even longer. Please do not wear a wife
beater, v-neck, or crew-neck undershirt by itself with jeans.
14. Upgrade your shave - Even if all the threads are gold, unkempt
beard can be an instant attraction killer. Achieve that perfect shave by
adding a shave brush and old-fashioned double-edged razor.
15. Experiment with style – The only way you’ll really learn, is if
you go out there and try new things. If you make mistakes, life goes on.
So many guys are afraid to express themselves through their style, don’t
be one of them.
