Fashion Tips(Mens Stuff)


Here are Mens Quick Fashion tips:
1. Fit is King – The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape 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 don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors. 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 dressy belt, and your sharpest dress 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 cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.
5. Never go shopping alone – Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion. Also, read about shopping on a budget.
6. Stay a notch aboveDon’t overdo it to a fault, but dare to take some risks. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. 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, or the way you tie your tie knot.
8. Invest in a superb pair of shoes – If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.
9. Fashion Tees with logos – When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and go for a classic v-neck tee or something artsy (check out threadless.com).
10. Disregard trends – Beware of buying something just because it’s “in” right now – stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you 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 simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality and style. Ask yourself, “Would I buy this if there was no logo on it?”
12. Continually cultivate your image – Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships. Oscar Schoffler, longtime fashion editor of Esquire once said, “Never underestimate the power of what you wear. After all, there’s just a small bit of yourself sticking out at the collar and cuff. The rest of the world sees what you drape on your frame.”
13. Ask for real feedback - Most of your friends and family aren’t going to go out of their way to tell you what looks bad. You have to ask for it. In fact, ask anyone and everyone you trust to tell you the truth. Ask your hairstylist, ask your best friend, ask your mother! If you think they might be too nice, send me an e-mail (jmutie09@gmail.com), I have no problem giving out real feedback.
14. Upgrade your shave - Even if your fashion is golden, an unkempt beard can be an attraction killer. Achieve a perfect shave by trying a shave brush & 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. I make an effort to try something completely out of my comfort zone whenever I’m at a store – many times you’ll end up loving something you never thought you would. If you make mistakes, life goes on. So many guys are afraid to express themselves through their style, don’t be one of them.

Additional Info on Mens Fashion Tips:

Nowadays looking good isn`t just something that women think about -- for most men the clothes and accessories they choose to wear will be chosen specifically because they look good and make them feel good. The fact is that you feel so much better about yourself if you feel good in the clothes you wear -- this isn`t just about wearing the latest brand names, it`s about wearing clothes that you like and that fit well and then complementing your clothes with accessories that do the same job.


Looking good can make a very real difference to your life. As any successful business leader will tell you looking the part in corporate life can give your career opportunities a significant boost and, from a personal and social perspective, wearing the right clothes and accessories will make the right impression on both your friends and on members of the opposite sex!
There are certain wardrobe essentials that most men will own at some point in their lives. These include both formal and informal clothing and accessories. If, for example, you work in a corporate environment or need to wear formal clothing (either every now and then or regularly) then you will no doubt own one or more suits.

Some men stick to classic dark suits in black or darker shades whereas others like more modern colours and designs. Bear in mind that a classic black suit can suit all kinds of occasions so, if you don`t need to wear suits that often but do need to have one to hand, then a classic black design may be your best option.

Other options here include formal shirts. Although these have traditionally been white there are more options open to formal shirt wearers nowadays and many people prefer to wear bright colours or checked or patterned shirts.

The same goes for ties -- it`s always worthwhile having a couple of classic plain ties in your wardrobe for particularly formal occasions but there is also no reason why you cannot also own some more flamboyant styles and designs.

Finally, don`t forget to buy some suitable formal shoes -- many men like to simply buy a classic pair of black or brown shoes (depending on the suit they`ll go with).

Informal clothing does, of course, give you more choice.
Many men prefer to simply wear jeans, casual shirts or t-shirts with a pair of trainers when they are relaxing but there are many other options when it come to casual dressing.
Some men, for example, will also own some smart casual clothing such as some semi-formal shirts, trousers and shoes.
Few of us can afford to buy all of the clothes we like all of the time so many people find that setting up a few basic but good quality items at the core of their wardrobe is a good tip. So, for example, in summer many men will buy a few good quality brand name t-shirts and some shorts to see them through the warmer weather. They may invest in a couple of baseball caps to set off their outfits at the same time. In winter many people find that a good quality coat will stand them in good stead -- even the plainest of overcoats can be made distinctive with the addition of a nice scarf and hat.

Accessories play an important part in men's fashion nowadays. More and more designers have moved into this sector and there are all kinds of accessories available to buy which can complement any outfit. These include hats, scarves, wallets, key rings, bags, rucksacks, belts, ties and umbrellas.

Finally, the best tip any man can have when it comes to working out what suits him best is to think about dressing to suit his personality. If you are happiest in a pair of jeans and t-shirt then dressing yourself up in a suit to impress others will not have the desired effect -- you`ll just look uncomfortable. So, choose clothes and accessories that suit you first and you`ll look and feel much more comfortable.
