There are many rules that can do with how men dress . And there are some that are yet to be discovered which no rule should hamper, like trying new kit out, seeing if it suits you, seeing how it makes you feel. But, these rules have stood the test of time and, when used in conjunction, act as a fail safe guide on how to dress well today.
Below are Men’s Rule to Dressing Well :
Men’s Rule: Wear a Suit Well
The key to a suit looking good is fit. If you’re buying off-the-peg, focus on the fit across the shoulders because getting the chest and waist altered is relatively easy job.Be cautious about wearing a period suit unless you’re pursuing a total period look because in isolation the suit starts to look like a novelty. Classic is best and most useful-dark, two-button, single-breasted, moderate in details. A suit is a uniform. The idea is to think of this suit as a canvas to build different ideas of individuality around. It’s the way you wear it, not the label inside, that impresses.
Men’s Rule – Don’t Shy Away From Colour
Whether it’s on casual wear or formal wear, indulge in a bit of colour. Most men are unjustly scared of it, they’re intimidated by anything that isn’t navy or grey. However, colour can be timeless too. A green suit for example can look particularly rakish, while pinks, greens, mustard and brighter shades of blue as especially versatile year-round shades that will lift your entire outfit. But when it comes to colour, less is more, you just need a bit of it, on one garment.
Men’s Rule – Keep Accessorizing to a Minimum
Accessories like ties and pocket squares bring individuality to classic clothing, but be careful how you use them. It’s best to harmonise them with what you’re wearing by picking out a colour or two. Or even to juxtapose them entirely. When it comes to curating shirt and tie combinations, wear your tie or pocket square in a darker shade than your jacket. Don’t overdo the accessories-if in doubt, think less is more and take one element away.
Men’s Rule – Know Yourself
There’re few things less stylish than a man dressed as he thinks he should dress rather than in when he genuinely feels suits who he is. There are caveats to that, of course; there are no prizes for dressing like a rodeo clown unless indeed you are one. But whatever you’re wearing, you have to own it. Genuine style icons are those who go their own way with a self-confidence that comes from their clothes being a second skin, not a costume.
