Fashion rules for men

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you do, being well dressed and looking good can never be something that’s too much to ask! There are some basic principles that especially men ignore which are very simple. The rules are easy to remember and the look achieved is to die for. Here’s a list of tips and pointers to bear in mind while dressing up next time whether it’s for work or for that important date.

1. The first rule relating to work gear is to never ever wear jeans or sneakers to work. Not wearing jeans is still an achievable option but no sneakers! Doesn’t one need comfort when one’s working and walking around all the time? The answer is simple. Wear smart loafers of a dark colour. They are just as comfy as any other pair of sneakers but stylish as well.

2. TIES are hot and should be worn more. If you are reading this article then you are fashion conscious and if you want to ace the art of dressing stylish then always wear a tie to work or for fun too. It doesn’t matter what colour it is or if it even goes with your shirt. Fashion Industry’s almighty Giorgio Armani says “As long as you’re wearing a tie it doesn’t matter whether it matches your outfit or not. Because believe it or not you look more stylish with them than you would without them.” Experiment with unconventional colours. Go bold, subtle, wild, or subdued with patterns. Stripes or dots, just about anything works.

3. Work gear should be elegant and formal. A couple of black, gray, khaki, and brown chinos would work fine when mixed and matched with a number of formal shirts. If you prefer formality and propriety over comfort and ease then go for the traditional pleated straight cut pants. In these cuts colours such as navy blue, military green look flattering. Flat front pants with a slight flair (boot leg) at the bottom look chic too.

Avoid shirts that have prominent patterns. Try subtle colours such as beige in self-prints that do not stand out. Pin-stripped shirts never go out of style. A plain crisp well-fitted shirt worn with pants that are tailor made and customized to your body forms an uncanny combo.

4.Socks of dark colours should be preferably worn because whites look too stark.

5.Try to wear your hair neatly and to make sure it’s perfectly groomed use mousse or gel to make it last.

6.For more important meetings make use of power dressing. Wearing a full suit for a meeting can make the right first impression. Keep the time of day and season in mind before picking out one. As against the massive belief suits aren’t uncomfortable at all if they’re cut well and custom made for your body. In fact you can feel so comfortable and confident at the same time in them that you’d never want to go back to your jeans and t-shirts.

7.Belt is one accessory that can make or break the entire ensemble. Go with the basics for work wear. But when you’re partying there are no rules. Whatever your inner devil wants is fine. Do not hold back.

8.Finally Leisure Wear does exist for men too. And it definitely doesn’t mean boxers and a t-shirt. Wearing comfortable and beautifully made clothes will make your time even more special because you’ll feel that much better in the right clothes. Pants or even better pajamas of linen teamed with shirts of soft cotton or t-shirts complete the look.

9.Smelling great will be the perfect end to a dressing ritual. Make the effort to use the same brand of after-shave, cologne, and eau de parfum. This way your fragrance lasts longer.

10.Do not hesitate to wear shoes with heels if you are, well vertically challenged. Well-heeled shoes will make your pants seem more well cut.

Dressing right and being updated with the latest fashion trends is imperative if you want to feel like your most confident self. Men don’t know what they’re missing if they’re arrogant about being fashion conscious. It’s one of the greatest pleasures to dress yourself and look your best.
