5 style tips for men

Not everyone is a fashion enthusiast, but when they are interviewing for grad school or a new job, making sales at work, or catching the eye of someone you admire, a good first impression will increase your chance of success.

1. Casual shirts done well

Wearing plain or graphic t­-shirts and shorts doesn’t have to mean forgetting about creativity and style. Wearing a Henley or Breton top is a simple approach to an attractive yet informal look. For a bit more flair, consider adding a surf­-themed collared shirt to your casual wardrobe.

2. Use Layering To Add Impact

A fashionable approach to layering can make your outfit more multi-dimensional. For example, wearing a blazer or cardigan over your dress shirt is a quick yet impactful addition. Layering also allows more room for colour co-ordinating, and it makes an outfit more interesting.

3. You Can Judge A Man By His Shoes

Don’t neglect this part of your wardrobe. Polish, inserts and new laces will help you get more miles out of a new pair.

4. Choose Classic Pieces Over Short ­Lived Trends

Ideally, clothes should be an investment and not something that only lasts a couple seasons. By choosing timeless, quality pieces, your wardrobe has a better chance of growing and becoming more versatile. The more garments you have, the more creative you can get with new looks.

5. Make Sure It Fits

An otherwise great outfit can go awry if the clothes just aren’t fitting right. Be attentive to pant and sleeve length, and how the fabric is draping across various body parts. It is best if clothes hug the shape of your body without feeling tight. Sales associates at reputable stores can help with sizing, and whether it’s for a casual or formal event, the right style will help you achieve the impact you want and do wonders for your confidence.
