Creating a fashionable look isn’t as difficult as you think. All you have to do is visualize an ensemble—from your shoes, bag, jewellery, to your watch. To accentuate your overall look, it’s not a good idea to pull whatever’s hanging in your closet. It also takes a bit of effort to create a fashionable, magazine-cover outfit. 

If you want to know more about pulling off a debonair and stunning look, you may want to consider the following tips: 

1. Dress According To Your Body Type

 One of the basics in dressing fashionably is to know your body type. By doing so, you can choose clothes that’ll highlight your best features. You can check out some impressive style guides, such as inspirations from Bespoke Unit’s style where you can see a plethora of sections dedicated to various styles and trends that you’ll certainly love. 

The following are men body types and the right style and fit for each:   

  • Oval: Men with this body type have a wider torso compared to their hips and shoulders. Thus, they should wear clothes with breezy and comfortable designs. For instance, trousers shouldn’t be belted so tight and must be comfortably loose on the waist. For smaller shirts, one should wear a good fit to avoid wrinkling in the fabric.
  • Rectangle: Usually, these are men who have a thin frame. Moreover, their hips, waist, and shoulders have the same width. For this body type, one has to create an illusion of structure to widen the shoulders. Using upper clothing with horizontal stripes, especially on the upper torso is also a great idea. This will add width to the frame.
  • Inverted Triangle: For men with broader shoulders, they may consider clothing that shows off their toned and fit body. Wear slim-fit shirts, jackets, and straight-leg jeans and trousers.

2. Consider Your Lifestyle

Now that you know which style suits your body type, you must also consider your lifestyle—your wardrobe will depend on it. It’s no use to own several suits if you can’t use them because of your current lifestyle.

For instance, if your work doesn’t require smart donning every day, you should have more casual clothes. Instead of wasting money on clothes that don’t suit your lifestyle, build a wardrobe that fits yours.  

3. Invest In Accessories

 For men, accessories usually include rings, watches, pocket squares, ties, and necklaces. You can coordinate your accessories with the colour of your outfit, or perhaps mix and match them. For instance, if you’re planning to wear a gold ring, you can combine it with a gold watch and belt. Aside from looking put-together, you will also look elegant and sophisticated. How you combine these accessories is all up to you.

However, you should avoid over-accessorizing. You don’t need to wear all of your accessories in one go. 

4. Wear The Right Shoes

More importantly, you shouldn’t forget to wear the right shoes. There are different shoes for particular outfits and events. You can explore lots of options, but you have to check whether your footwear is appropriate for your style. For instance, you may need to wear dress shoes when wearing dress pants.

You don’t want to ruin your outfit by wearing your only beat-up sneakers. Instead, replace them with more dignified footwear such as comfortable leather shoes. Remember that it all depends on the event you’re going to, which leads us to the next tip. 

5. Dress Appropriately

Most importantly, you should wear the right outfit for every occasion. You may have a collection of casual clothes, but they may not be appropriate for formal events, such as a black-tie event. Not only will you be out of style during the event, but you’ll stand out in a negative way.  

Consider the occasion, and wear according to the prescribed dress code. For instance, if you’re attending a wedding, then you must check the dress code in the invitation. This way, you’ll be appropriately dressed for the event.

These are tips that you can follow in looking at your best consistently or for a particular event. Nonetheless, remember that your confidence in pulling off that ensemble will shine through and astonish the crowd.
