Dress More Fashionable Than Others

             Do you want to look more stylish and fashionable than other men? Most of us do. So, here’s a list you’ll ever need to improve your dressing style.

following, that we don’t know about?

Well, yes there are!

I had to do something about it, so I did some serious research. And guess what? I’ve put together the largest list on the planet.

Some tips are too obvious. Some new.

The best part?

They work.

Because there are a lot of trashy articles and baseless style/fashion advice on the internet (especially on big websites). They’re focused on models, dudes with really good looks and in the end, they literally sell you ridiculously overpriced trash (which they call fashionable clothes).

So, I wrote this post for regular guys, like you and me, who are looking for some basic style advice.

Let’s begin!

22 Style Fundamentals Every Man Need to Follow

1. Knowledge is more important than money

Your brain is the biggest asset when it comes to style. Either you can randomly buy clothes or have the knowledge to dress smartly for less money and be strategic about your clothes. You can master the basics and look more stylish than 95% of the men, with the same amount of money.

2. Dress your age

Don’t dress like a teenager if you’re an adult and vice versa. Dress in a way that separates you from a boy, signifies your profession and intentions towards others. If you’re older than 40, don’t wear distressed or faded denim, hoodies, shorter trending suits (stick with classic cut suits) and so on.

3. Style & fashion are not the same

Style serves a long-time purpose. Fashion is more about trends, which is always shifting and changing. Fashion is what’s in the stores right now, but not a year after. Your style is tailored to you, your personal expression and what makes your personality.

4. Basics first, trends second

Have the essentials and buildingblocks blocks of your wardrobe, which I’ll talk about throughout the post. Then add the ones that have limited mixing ability, are trendy and one-off items.

5. A wardrobe is built, not bought

It can’t be bought wholly from the market at once, even if you spend a lot of money. You start with the basics, a few pieces and add more clothes from time to time. Every item is strategically kept and replaced when a fresh new item is bought, which should fit you and look better.

6. Have more than a few “comfy” clothes

It is best to limit the number of hoodies, graphic tees, and running shoes to one or two pairs, to look great even around the house.

7. Stay updated with the trends

Don’t wear clothes that are off-trend. Notice what is being sold and people are wearing.

8. Expensive does not always mean good looking

A great outfit has less to do with the price and more to do with fitting, color, etc. You can make a low-priced outfit into something spectacular, which may look better than the expensive counterparts.

9. Don’t show off brand labels

Brands are great. But, avoid anything that shows too much of logos that companies are trying to brand.

10. Discount sections often have good quality clothes

These sections generally include the leftovers and off-season clothes, where you can find hidden gems. Big stores usually have an “end of the season sale” to find some crazy deals.

11. Buy pieces that are built to last

No compromise with the quality! Because quality clothes when worn signals your value and respect. Leather, wool, denim, cotton generally looks better and lasts longer than others.

12. Shop with someone

If you know someone who dresses well, take him to shop and let him pick. It will be worth it.

13. Avoid listening to women

What women say is too basic or baseless, which they get by reading any random fashion magazine. Or something they saw wearing their girlfriends’ boyfriend/husband. Women only care about women. Their logic and knowledge are limited in case of men’s style and fashion.

14. Ignore the fashion world

Fashion shows, some celebrities, and magazines are the last or maybe the worst places to look for style and outfit examples. They only want media attention. Regular working men can’t wear that kind of trendy outfits on a daily basis. Follow them if you want to experiment, but don’t forget the basics.

15. You can never be overdressed

Some guys think “Oh, I don’t want to look like I am showing off…” Screw that. There is nothing wrong being the best-dressed man in the room. It also doesn’t mean trying too hard and wearing too many accessories at the same time.

16. Plan your clothes, a night before

At night, most of us have time to think and decide what to wear the next day. While in the morning, we’re usually in hurry to coordinate the outfit.

17. Pressed clothes are the best kind of clothes

Nothing can beat a cleaned and well-pressed shirt. This is an absolute requirement for the rest of the clothing items like trousers and suits. No excuses accepted.

18. Wear athletic clothing only when working out

This goes for gym clothes, socks, and running shoes.

19. Timeless style is impossible

Dressing style has changed from a hundred years ago to now and will be something else hundred years from now. Don’t stick with a particular style, it needs to be improved and updated over time.

“Abandon the set-it-and-forget-it attitude and embrace that your style is something you’ll always be changing and updating. It will never be neutral, so you might as well have your appearance be positive.” – Tanner Guzy

20. Be well dressed, at all times

Even when going out to a grocery store. No exceptions. If someone you know showed up and you’re like “Well, I don’t dress like that usually…” Don’t be that guy.

21. Only buy confident clothes

Wear clothes that make you say “Hell yeah!” Something that makes you feel good, fits your body and defines your personality.

22. Get a nice haircut and keep it fresh

Haircut contributes a lot to your overall look, even has the power to bring a drastic change. Get it cut frequently so that people don’t notice the difference.
