How to dress better when you are a man? Here are simple and effective tips to improve your style.
We all wonder how we’re going to dress when we get up in the morning, and it’s not always as easy as you think to find what you’re looking for, even in the most crowded closet in the universe. You need to find garments that match the mind-set of the day and afterward prevail with regards to matching them. And this is where it goes wrong! We will help you a little, follow the guide!
1. Vary the colors!
We start with the most complicated and the most subjective of the precepts to respect! We all agree that dressing exclusively in black, white or beige is not the best. We are almost all in agreement when it comes to spotting an outfit that lacks balance, but it is much more complicated to deal with what we have in our closet. Even if it remains a matter of taste, there are still some golden rules that can guide you at the beginning, the time to be able to free yourself from them to fly on your own. As for the choice of colors, you must first refer to the color of your skin and your hair. Having fair skin and a fair face will often mean avoiding too dark colors that would contrast too much with your face, eclipsing it in the process. Conversely, if you have dark skin and dark hair, too light colors would have the same effect.
Then, it is important to work on colors that can balance each other, either because they are close (navy blue and light blue), or because they are opposite but can match (navy blue and beige ). These compositions are essential because they make it possible not to end up in a walking monochrome, wearing only one and the same color over our entire outfit. An aesthetic horror! It is also interesting to vary the materials, between leather, jeans, cotton, linen or even jersey. This will really support your color choices by bringing texture to your outfit.
To conclude, I will tell you about color reminders, this little detail that will show who knows how much time and application you have devoted to your outfit! A brown belt will make it easier to integrate brown shoes into your outfit as well as a colored tie. Finally, simply treat yourself, and if the colors you wear look like you, you follow these rules and you go all out, everything will be fine!

2. Choose clothes that fit
This seems to be the basis of everything, and yet it is far from always being the case! Many people are seen in the streets with the pants in the middle of the buttocks, without even doing it on purpose. This kind of look can lend itself to certain models of pants but when the latter is not made for it, it shows! So be careful to choose your size and the cut according to your morphology. Too wide, too tight, too big or the legs too short, you really quickly miss your purchase of pants by inattention and it’s not great! Especially when you see the price of some badly worn pants!
This observation of course applies to all the clothes that can be worn and pants are no exception. It is true that being a little wrapped up does not help to wear close-fitting clothes, on the other hand, wearing too large ones will never hide your shapes but will tend to do the opposite! You need to find the right equilibrium or more all be agreeable in your garments, this is one of the keys to prosperity. When it comes to jackets now, and more particularly suit jackets, it is more relevant than ever to talk about the size! If, at one time, long and somewhat wide jackets could be tolerated, this would clearly be considered bad taste today! A jacket must be adjusted while leaving a certain amplitude of movement to its wearer, this flexibility which we all need not to look like a penguin.
Then, the length of the jacket itself is important and should be chosen according to individual taste. As for the sleeves, they should reveal the shirt, especially if you wear cufflinks and it is in bad taste to have the wrists and half of the hands covered as can be seen on many poorly made jackets. It’s important because it avoids the puffiness that you can have with a badly worn suit and it’s all these little details that make you look classy, or just look like a redneck who has put on his suit on Sunday ! As for other clothes, it is almost understood that a pair of shoes that are too big are not worn and that a cap that is too small that would just be placed on the head is clearly not beautiful. Finally, it is understood for most people anyway!
3. Choose the right materials
Favoring natural materials seems obvious to us today, but it is not for everyone. Without saying that it comes before the aesthetic aspect of the garment, I would say that it matters almost as much because it is at the same time our comfort, our well-being and the durability of the chosen garment. Comfort already because some materials are much more pleasant to wear than others and there is clearly nothing to do between a 100% cotton T-shirt and a half-polyester T-shirt. Cotton will necessarily be softer and more comfortable to wear. In terms of well-being, natural materials are always more breathable than synthetics and this changes a lot, in summer as in winter.
Already it keeps much warmer, which is still important depending on the season. You will therefore need fewer clothes to be well, you will necessarily be more comfortable in addition to avoiding the risk of colds of all kinds. Then the breathable side will allow your perspiration not to accumulate in the garment but to evacuate naturally through the fabrics, it’s still better than wearing t-shirts that let us sweat without letting anything pass ! This breathable side finally allows the body to cool off in case of high temperatures and that’s great! In short, less risk of feeling the transpet! In terms of garment durability, natural materials such as cotton or jersey are more resistant to wear, the effect of time and odors.
It sometimes happens, when you buy a synthetic T-shirt, that the fabric becomes impregnated after a while with the smell of perspiration and that you can no longer get it back! When it’s over, you can finally wear your favorite clothes to the end without problem! To conclude, on the aesthetic side, we really see the difference and this is perhaps the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by changing a little clothing materials. Exit the eternal jeans that fill your closet with their almost identical models, why not opt for some chinos in original colors and super resistant material that is pretty to wear?

4. Don’t try to be someone else.
Choosing clothes that look like us is really the main thing because, even if you don’t necessarily notice it, your attitude and your approach clearly change when you put on a different outfit. Try passing a tuxedo to someone who spends their entire year in tracksuits and you’ll see what I’m talking about. The way he wears it, walks with it and sits will tell you whether or not he is used to this kind of outfit.
Moreover, by wearing clothes that do not look like us, that do not match our style or our way of being, we give a distorted image of ourselves that comes back to our own eyes. Difficult then to be comfortable in his sneakers. It is therefore better to be yourself and find the look that best suits your skin, the type of clothing that makes you feel like you are wearing nothing, an extension of yourself that reflects both your personality and your idea of what is aesthetic or not. It’s a real therapy for whoever wants to play the game and it can even help people who do not accept themselves physically, helping them to feel beautiful, to accept themselves and therefore to please others! Confidence is the sinews of war when it comes to seduction!
5. Contextualize
Of course it is important to take the context into account when choosing your outfit. Depending on whether you are going to a social evening, an aperitif with friends or an evening on the town in the hope of meeting charming young girls, you will not dress the same way. The social evening requires that we put ourselves at the level of the dress code of the guests. Difficult to get an idea before having set foot there but the habit makes it easier to realize things. You have to get up to speed but don’t overdo it, showing up in costume at an evening where everyone is wearing a casual chic look could show that you expect a lot from this event in terms of meetings. Being too elegant has never been good for business or for human contact!
On the other hand, not doing enough would send the image of someone apart. A person who wants to stand out but doesn’t do it the right way. The people around you will subconsciously have less desire to come and talk to you, marginalizing you and therefore making you feel uncomfortable without really knowing why. Whether in this context or simply for an aperitif in town, making a difference often involves doing things differently. A look really works according to the image you want to project of yourself. Brown shoes, beige chinos and a dark blue jacket could, for example, bring a laid-back look to your style. A kind of natural elegance that, even when dressing casually, seems innate to you. Class what!
6. Have fun
To be comfortable in your pumps as in everything you have to know how to evolve. And for that, what could be better than trying on new outfits, confronting new fashions and going where you would never have dared to go before. This kind of stylistic exploration is necessary when you start to get tired of your appearance and which will allow you to break your own codes! You don’t have to go very far for that! A quick trip to a store to find a few pieces that you could match, that shirt you’ve never dared to try, that chino that’s too colorful for you.
Believe me, you might surprise yourself! Someone who takes pleasure in dressing and who likes to have a choice in their wardrobe, it shows at first glance. This kind of person who will have style even when he says he has gone out in pajamas, who will be well dressed even to get his bread, not because he has crazy clothes, but simply because he takes the time to choose them and grant them. No need to wear Burberry, Chanel or be a fashion victim to have class!
The whole thing in the outfit is to take pleasure in dressing and choosing your clothes. Some are addicted to shopping when others would do without it, while enjoying having clothes that look like them. Whether you go there reluctantly or for the love of shopping, you have to get started if you want to have fun wearing all the beautiful pieces you have chosen! So be motivated like never before!
