WEAR YOUR SUIT PROPERLY.

The most important aspect of a suit's appearance is its fit. If you're buying off-the-rack, Davide Taub, head of bespoke suits at Savile Row tailor Gieves & Hawkes, recommends focusing on the fit across the shoulders because altering the chest and waist is very simple. "Unless you're going for a comprehensive period look, avoid wearing a period outfit since it starts to look like a novelty when worn alone," he adds. The best and most functional style is the classic – black, two-button, single-breasted, with mild details. "It's not dull." A suit is a sort of dress code. The aim is to think of this suit as a blank canvas on which to paint various expressions of individuality. It's how you wear it, not the label on the inside, that makes an impression." a well-dressed man in a suit

 

CHOOSE WISELY WHEN BUYING A WATCH

"A watch is like a work of art.  "Pick it because you enjoy it, not because you believe it will make you money." Watches are personal in that they mark the passage of time for you. However, you must also be realistic." Aesthetic, functional, and robust sports models go with everything and can withstand the rigors of daily use. Even so, a watch must fit you. It should be comfortable, and the size and depth should be appropriate for your wrist — 40mm is called the 'Goldilocks' size.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF COLOR

Indulge in a splash of color, whether it's on your casual or formal clothes. "Most men are unduly afraid of it — anything that isn't navy or grey intimidates them," says menswear designer Oliver Spencer. "Color, on the other hand, can be ageless." Spencer also advises pinks, greens, mustard, and brighter tones of blue as very flexible year-round shades that will enhance your entire outfit. However, when it comes to color, he believes that little is more: "All you need is a smidgeon of it in one garment."

WEAR YOUR JEANS UNTIL YOU OWN THEM.

The most beneficial cut of the world's most popular garment is ‘slim-tapered.' "It's bigger in the thigh, so it's comfy, "but it narrows at the ankle, so it works with stylish shoes or sneakers." "It's the best all-year-round, anything-goes, dress up or down style." The smart will also wear dark, raw denim and avoid the pre-distressed. "The whole point of denim is that it ages depending on how you wear it." "Why would you want to lose out on that?"

CHECK OUT YOUR OUTFIT AFTER YOU'VE MADE AN APPEARANCE

It's the kind of advice your mother may give, but if you've put money and attention into your wardrobe, it deserves to be looked after. Have your suit dry-cleaned and pressed; wash your clothes periodically and, ideally, do not tumble dry them (it might deteriorate the fabric); and shine your shoes. Similarly, you must take care of not only the skin of your leather jacket, but also the one you wear every day. Brush your hair and trim your nails as part of a simple yet effective grooming routine. The devil, after all, is in the details.

 

 

 

 

KEEP IT SIMPLE WITH YOUR UNDERWEAR

Style isn't limited to what others can perceive. There are two rules to follow when it comes to men's underwear. One, whimsical prints aren't for grown men — as shirt and underwear “your underwear isn't the place to express your 'personality." And, two, underwear with a lot of logos lacks refinement. "Of all the places where you should feel comfortable not having branding, your underwear should be it," Willis adds. Cotton boxer shorts have, of course, passed the test of time, owing to its ability to withstand multiple washings, breathe well, and feel pleasant on the skin (as linen does).

 

 

SPEND MONEY ON SHOES

Timelessness is about basic design, and this is especially true with shoes," says You don't want anything fussy in terms of color, design, or sole." Anything fussy may appear beautiful right now, but it will rapidly become odd." Quality shoes, such as re-sole able Goodyear welted examples, are an investment that should last at least 15 years. Choose classic styles like brogues, loafers, or a basic, dark, five-eyelet Derby on a round-toe last, but don't forget to pair them with good dress socks. "It's the toe form that truly matters - and round never goes out of style," Little explains. "It's the pointy or square toes that appear to be the most impractical. Nobody in the world has feet like those."

KEEP ACCESSORIZING TO A SMALL AMOUNT

Ties and pocket squares add personality to classic attire, but they should be used with caution. "It's ideal to match them to your outfit by picking out one or two colors." Michael Hill, creative director of men's accessories brand Drake's, adds, "Or even to juxtaposition them totally." "You don't want to put them together." When it comes to putting together a shirt and tie ensemble, choose a tie or pocket square that is a deeper tone than your jacket. Also, don't go overboard with the accessories — if in doubt, think less is more and remove one aspect. "You're going for a laid-back vibe," Hill adds. "All you need is a single point of interest."

Few things are less stylish than a man dressed in what he thinks he should wear rather than what he truly believes suits him. Of course, there are exceptions: there are no prizes for dressing up as a rodeo clown unless you are one. You must, however, own whatever you are wearing. Genuine style icons are individuals that go their own way, with self-assurance derived from the fact that their garments are a second skin rather than a costume.

GET READY FOR THE SET

Style isn't just about expressing yourself; it's also about dressing appropriately for your surroundings. Consider clothes to be codes: you need the right combination to function with the environment you're in, whether it's a formal dinner or a leisurely Sunday at the pub. The worst style is one that is inappropriate for the situation. Is this a form of adherence? No, it's a sign of respect for others, as one of Tom Ford's famous fashion quotations indicates. Also, about being at ease in your own skin. When in doubt, go for the extra layer.

 

DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR GLASSES

Spend some time looking for the appropriate pair of glasses for you. According to eyeglasses designer Tom Davies, "people spend an average of seven minutes picking a pair that will define them for the next three or more years." "It's because of bad selection and fit that so many people come to despise their glasses." Buy what makes you happy, keeping in mind your face form but also the top line of the frames' relationship to your eyebrow shape – pair straight with straight, curved with curved – and your haircut. According to Davies, getting inexpensive frames and being up-sold on costly lenses is pointless because the frames will look tatty soon enough.
