5 Styling Tips for Men

N owadays, men are expected to be well-groomed and stylish. This is a daily new development; you could easily find magazine articles about styling tips for men dating back a century or so. For a while, there was this ridiculous assumption that any man who dressed well could not be heterosexual. They came up with the term ‘metrosexual’ for straight men who just want to be clean and dress nice!

Today, the tide is turning. Men want to look and feel their best just as much as women. They are ready to embrace the world of fashion and styling with open arms. To get you started. Here are a few generally important tips to keep in mind.

1. A Nicely Fitted Suit is Worth It

The first tip we want to impart to you is the importance of a nicely fitted suit. A suit is not just for an office event or for a formal dinner– it can even be worn on a very nice date with your loved one, or, if you’re ambitious, flamboyantly rocked at brunch!

However, there are a few rules to remember about suits. A badly fitted suit is worse than not wearing one at all. You must get your suits tailored to your body exactly. If you don’t, and it sags in places where it should hug you, all its grandeur and impressiveness will go out the window. Just find a good tailor, even if your material is not that expensive.

2. Invest in a Good Watch

If you love wearing watches, as many men do, you might already have this one down. If you don’t, however, and are looking for tips to buy just the right one, read on. The watch has to be a symbol of your individuality; that is why they make so many different ones! What does yours represent for you? This is a place where you should be picking from your heart. Intend to make an emotional connection with your watch and you will catch the eye of the perfect one.

For reference, sporty watches or minimal dial watches go with pretty much everything. Always try the watch on to see if it sits right on your wrist. The ideal size for most people is 40mm, but each person is different!

3. Let the Whites and Blacks Drop Away

Most men have not had much experience with wearing color. Out of fear and apprehension, they end up never approaching it if they were not introduced to it early on. However, a lot of styling is about experimentation– only trial and error can show you what feels good and looks right for you. So be not afraid of the mustards, the bright blues, or the pinks! Let yourself experience the joy of a timeless green suit.

4. Let Denim Distress the Natural Way

You probably already know how important denim can be in a man’s wardrobe. It just goes with everything and lasts for decades if you treat it right. The best style for jeans on the market right now, according to Inside Denim, is slimly tapered. As it tapers down to being fitted at the ankles, it can easily make room for you to wear your kicks or boots with style.

Also, go easy on the already distressed jeans. The ripped-all-the-way look may have been fun in the early 2000s, but now it is time to let jeans wear out the natural way and in your particular way.

5. Spend Big Money on Shoes

This brings us to our last trip, which has been an important one for a long time. Buy your shoes from a good brand. Now, we do understand how expensive shoes can be, and you don’t have to buy one every month. But having one or two great pairs of shoes can really pay off in the long run. Your feet carry you everywhere, and they deserve a partner that takes care of them while they are doing the work.

Not just that, but for styling, shoes really complete the outfit and put everything together. If your entire outfit is flawless but shoes haven’t been paid due attention? It’s not going to work.

To Summarize

With these styling tips for men, you have been initiated into the world of fashion! We hope that you will keep learning on the go and never let your style stagnate!
