These pointers are the fundamentals of wardrobe and style that you should be aware of. They are straightforward and suitable for men of all styles. Keep these in mind, and even if you aren't wearing the most cutting-edge trends, you will still be among the best-dressed people.
1. Emulate Instead of Creating Fakes
We all have those men who serve as our #style role models. Some of the best-dressed celebrities have the power to influence #menswear trends. When we draw inspiration from famous people, we risk imitating them rather than being inspired by them.
2. Buy Quality
When purchasing #suits, jeans, shoes, or hats, you can decide whether to spend more money on something that will last for years or less money on something that will do for now.
Going the inexpensive route may seem more practical in the short term because you can save money for other things, but you almost always end up spending more money because the inexpensive clothing wears out.
Spending more money upfront enables you to select clothing that you can wear for years to come and that will last. The price of each item is one way to look at it.
If you spend a few hundred dollars on a cheap suit, it may wear out quickly, requiring you to purchase another.
3. Fit Away of Fashions
Everyone aspires to look good. Retail establishments and the #fashion industry have conditioned us to think that the only way to achieve that is to dress in the newest trends.
The truth is that it won't matter if it doesn't fit well. The fit of your #clothing is far more crucial than whether or not it is the newest style. Even if you wear the newest fashion trends, you will still look very dated if they don't fit properly.
4. Socialize With a Tailor
No one will be more crucial to your wardrobe than the right #tailor, along with ensuring a good fit. While the majority of people believe that a tailor is only necessary when you purchase suits, they can actually repair almost every item in your closet.
Even t-shirts and jeans can profit from a skilled tailor's work. Finding a tailor who understands your body type and how to get the most out of your clothing is essential to finding the best fit for you.
Sadly, that necessitates some trial and error. You'll be surprised at how frequently you have even your most basic #clothing altered once you find the right person, though.
5. English for excellence and Italian for flair
Although there are other countries that excel in terms of quality, English tailors and shoemakers have been the leaders for decades. There is no shortage of fantastic shoes that will last you for a decade or more.
Similar to how the world of women's #clothing appears to have started, Saville Row in London is still home to some of the best tailors in the world. Italy, a little further east, is home to companies like Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani.
These are the suits that draw attention as soon as you enter a room and keep it until you leave. While Italian suits and English suits do have some flair,
6. It's All in the Details
The best #outfits always include accessories that draw attention to the rest of the ensemble, even though it may appear that an outfit consists only of a #shirt, a pair of pants, and the appropriate shoes.
The right accessory can completely change your appearance and add the finishing touches to an otherwise unremarkable outfit, whether it's a necklace, bracelet, hat, or pocket square tucked into the breast pocket of your suit.
Subtlety is key when accessorizing. Rings and bracelets look garish when they are stacked up. Keep in mind that you can have too much of a good thing.
7. Build From the Foundation Up by Using Staples
You'll notice that James Bond, one of the most widely imitated #fashion figures in the history of menswear, rarely wore a lot of flashy clothing. He often wore everyday essentials, but he always wore them in opulent ways.
Invest in upscale basics that can be worn more frequently and layered rather than spending money on flashy items that will be noticed every time you wear them (limiting the number of times you can wear them).
Your best pieces will be simple, solid colors like denim or chinos, which you'll wear the most. Once you have those, expand your wardrobe by acquiring essentials in more vibrant hues and patterns.
8. Recognize the Colors
Whether you like it or not, there will be colors that you just can't seem to wear. Even if you adore yellow, some pale men look washed out if they try to wear it.
Color analysis is one way to discover the best hues for your skin tone. Your individual skin tone will be taken into consideration, and its relationship to colors will be assessed.
It will be much simpler to shop in the future once you know which #colors you should use and which ones you should avoid.
9. Complementary, Not Identical
Men tend to try to match rather than complement when choosing accessories or other items to go with their #outfits, which is one of the most common mistakes they make.
When wearing a suit and tie, matching your pocket square to your shirt or tie can make the entire ensemble look like it was taken straight from a Kohl's box.
Any outfit will be improved by adding a complementary color (using the color wheel knowledge you learned in 9th-grade art). In a casual outfit, consider matching your #shirts with #pants or #jackets.
You definitely don't want to appear to be sporting a tracksuit from 1993. Try using complementary colors or lighter or darker shades of the same color on the color wheel.
10. Dress Code and Weather Considerations Should Both Influence Your Layering
You'll be grateful to us later for learning how to layer. Layering clothes on top of each other that can be removed when necessary will save your life if the weather or #dress code is unpredictable.
This can be done in a variety of ways and in a few different situations. When it comes to layering, sweaters will be your best friend. Depending on the situation, you can dress more casually or more formally by wearing one underneath a suit coat but over a dress shirt.
You can take off the sweater and just wear the suit if the situation calls for you to be more formal. You can dispense with the jacket and tie if it is informal.
11. A Four-legged Throne
The Four-Legged Stool is a resource used by the tailored #clothing (suits) industry to educate #men on how to assemble a sufficient suit wardrobe.
You don't fully appreciate the value of having the appropriate attire until you find yourself caught without it.
You will always have the #suit you require if you learn how to do it through this process. Keep in mind to stick to the fundamentals, and once you have them all, expand on them.
12. Never, Always, and Sometimes
This advice is more of a guideline. The rule relates to the buttons on your suit coat and aids gentlemen in determining which #buttons, for the sake of etiquette, should be buttoned and which shouldn't.
When wearing a suit coat, start at the top button and repeat, "Sometimes, always, never." This refers to a three-button suit, where the top button is sometimes undone, the middle button is always undone (when standing), and the bottom button is always left undone.
Cardigans, vests, and overcoats are also covered by the rule. When men first began riding horses, they required the bottom of their #clothing to be open so that it could lie on both sides of their bodies.
13. Begin With Denim and Then Switch Up Your Bottoms
A great pair of jeans is a must-have for every man. They'll be perfect for a first date, a barbecue on the weekend, or a relaxing day at home. Focus on the darker washes first and put the lighter washes on the shelf.
Dark hues help you look slimmer and are much simpler to dress up or down. Finding the ideal pair of chinos comes after finding the ideal pair of jeans.
Although they are available in almost any color you could imagine, khaki is the best choice when starting out. They both go with just about anything in your closet when worn with dark denim.
14. Expand Your Collection of Shoes
To have a full, indispensable shoe wardrobe, every man should own seven pairs of #shoes. Once you have all of these, you can start mixing up your footwear and having fun when you shop.
While you might be tempted to choose the less expensive options as frequently as you can to get all seven, it will be more advantageous for you to make an investment in some of the higher-quality options to make sure that you don't have to keep replacing them.
15. Establish a Skincare Routine and Stick to It
One of the most frequently disregarded elements of men's style is their #skincare regimen. While most of us don't spend the time to achieve great skin, we all love the idea of having it.
A great skincare routine will include moisturizer, SPF, and an eye bag-reducing product. The best way to ensure you age gracefully is to take care of your skin, even if you prefer the leathery appearance of John Wayne.
