Why not say it, men love to dress well, have a current and modern look. Friends of mine and many women have asked me what the most important style secrets are, with the aim of seeking help from their boyfriends, brothers, children, friends and even husbands. Good looks are worth a thousand words. The better you feel in the clothes you wear, the more confidence you will have in yourself and, consequently, the more opportunities you will have both in your personal and professional life.
The first step that we must be clear about in order to dress well is to take into account our body type and, secondly, our lifestyle. It is not the same to dress a tall person than a short one, a plump person than a thin one. For example, a suit will look much better on a slim, short-waisted man, or a shirt with a turn-down collar is perfect for men with round faces.
In addition, it will be essential that you take into account some clear ideas about what we have to do when it comes to choosing a certain type of clothing for each occasion and something important that few men value: how to combine clothes correctly. Sometimes it's not just a matter of wearing a good suit, but we have to know how to wear it and, above all, what shades and how to combine it best.
Let's now see some "tips" that seem basic to me to start learning to dress well. Next, we are going to teach you to dress according to the type of body. In addition, you should always take into account the colors that can look good on you depending on the latest trends. trends.
Fashion is not just putting on the most beautiful of each season, it is being comfortable with what you are wearing. Forget what they say that to be handsome you have to suffer, only then can you wear a suit, or a more informal "look" with style. Are you ready to learn how to dress well?
Why are there still few men who give the value that their footwear really has? Recall the statement that we can "judge or know a man by his shoes."
If you have never had very good shoes before, now is the time. It is essential that you have comfortable and sporty shoes, but the key to your suit looking good will always be a good matching tie, and of course, good dress shoes that you can take advantage of for years.
Shirts or t-shirts with jeans are basic for men of all kinds, but as you get older it is essential to know what things are best left in the closet. If you are already over 40, ditch the t-shirts and if you want to be able to say that you dress well, start wearing shirts (some basic ones like white or navy), and other types of pants, whether they are chinos, or even dress pants, and it won't hurt to wear shoes more often.
Be careful, I don't want you to misunderstand this point. I'm not saying that you don't have to pay attention to things like, for example, what shades are worn each season or if it's better to wear a more or less fitted "look", but don't insist on always wearing the latest thinking that this way you dress better and more if You are young. We cannot always spend all the money we want on clothes, so it is better to bet on insurance than to end up buying, for example, jeans with rips everywhere, when we know that next year they may not even be worn.
This is basic to knowing how to dress well. You shouldn't wear clothes that look too worn, but that doesn't mean you should throw them out from season to season. If you take good care of your suits, if you wash your clothes, iron them and store them properly, they will last for years and you can boast of always being impeccable.
And one that is a basic color, either gray, black or navy (or all three). A fitted suit that you can take advantage of for big occasions. I am not referring to just any suit. You should invest your money as if you were going to buy any other "investment" for the future. You may wear it on a few occasions, but if you take care of it and maintain your weight regularly, You can always say that you are right when the occasion requires it.
As long as you have a good pair of jeans, it will happen to you as with the suit; that you will be correct Try to have some blue ones and others black ones, that they look good on you and that you wear regularly, either with a shirt, or a sweater or with a blazer.
Cotton pants, Chinese or more dressy, are basic for those occasions when you want to look better than with jeans. It is better that you buy a couple of shades like navy blue or cream, and you will see how the possibilities with them are endless.
Let's start with the thinnest men. This type of body does not usually have any problem finding the clothes in the size that best suits them, but they should take into account a few tips:
A thin person has, as a general rule, a less muscular structure than the rest. The limbs of the thin person are usually long. This is a point to take into account when choosing a coat or pants. Play with the volume in the garments: large pockets, …. The cut of your pants, to be well dressed, must be straight so as not to exaggerate the figure. Forget skinny jeans! These will make you look much slimmer. Although they are trendy, they are not the best option unless you want to look like one of those "punk" boys as we see above. Each one has their style and taste but it is not the best option if you really want to take advantage of your slim body.
If you want to choose a suit, keep in mind its length. The sleeves should be above the wrist and the length of the jacket should not be too long to be dressed correctly and not give the feeling that the suit is too big for you. With the suits the volume is not necessary since you must provide it with the shirts, ties and jackets.
For all that are informal "looks", such as t-shirts and shorts in summer or shirts and sweaters for winter, it is better to choose clothes that look somewhat loose or that are straight rather than too tight. It is not a matter of buying loose clothes or that it is not your size but do not wear very tight clothes either since your body will look without shape or contour.
You can thus opt for the currently fashionable t-shirts, known as "oversize" and that are somewhat wider and also longer. With them you can "disguise" your slim body a little and have a somewhat more "plump" shape.
People who are chubby or with endoform bodies should know how to choose the correct size. Don't even think about buying smaller clothes! Even if you intend to lose weight, it is only an idea and not a fact. In this way you can wear all kinds of styles or clothes without always having to wear black, to see yourself slimmer, or fatter. Look at the picture above, the boy dresses very stylish despite being overweight.
Base your style on vertical and straight lines, be careful with the cuts and lengths of shirts, suits,... Unlike the slim ones, never add more layers and volumes. The best pants are those that have a high waist and provide linearity. On the other hand, it is good to use garments in neutral tones, such as black, brown, grey, etc... which you can make the most of if what you want is to hide your kilos. Now it is not recommended that you fill yourselves with garments and layers if it is not necessary (for example in winter) if you do not want to see yourself wider still.In part, it is the most difficult way to dress well, but if we apply the advice that I have just given you, you will enhance the silhouette and hide the negative points.
When we talk about muscular bodies, we are referring to an athletic model. His body shape is usually V-shaped, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and he is close to today's perfection. Just like the body that actor Chris Hermsworth (pictured above) has, for example.
Muscular people, although with a desired body, do not always succeed with their style of clothing since many tend to choose t-shirts, shirts and, in general, clothes that are very tight. Obviously they do it to "mark muscle" but this is a mistake since the only thing they achieve is to look too tight, without style and even (I would say) somewhat ridiculous if we take into account that a very tight shirt (for example) is going to fit you also short since with your pectorals you will cause it to never get to stay in its place.
If thanks to your constitution and the effort you make in the gym you have achieved a muscular body, all you have to do to dress well is find a balance between the waist and the shoulders. This is one of the biggest problems that athletic people can encounter.
I repeat, do not wear excessively tight clothing! It looks horrible. Wear tight clothing, but one that allows you to do all the movements without needing to catch your breath. It sounds ridiculous, but I've seen it many times. The clothes of your size, having muscles, may be very tight. You must make sure that it stays in place without being too tight and not too wide.From here, another question that we can ask ourselves is: Loose garments or tight garments? Neither of the two extremes is good. It is not good to see someone with very tight clothing, or with very loose clothing, as if it were a bag. Also, it is not okay to combine a tight jean with a loose t-shirt, for example. Avoid extremes.
For tall people, skinny pants are the most ideal for dressing well. But the problem is that not everyone likes to wear this model of pants. Straight pants also look great on you. If you have money, take the opportunity to make a tailored suit, you will immediately notice how good it can be and the difference with any other type of suit.
On the other hand, it is always better that you choose footwear that is not pointed. What I am saying may sound silly to you, but if you are very tall, I am convinced that your foot will be quite large so that you do not want to look like a duck by choosing pointe shoes. It is better to opt for sports shoes with rounded toes as "running" type shoes or shoes such as boots and round toe ankle boots.
A short man will always have a better fit pants than a wider one. The reason is easy because with a "slim fit" cut pants you will see the leg more defined and with it a little longer even if you are short. Also if you choose prints like the striped one you will look taller.
The horizontal stripes give the appearance of having a broader body and with this you will be able to appear that you are somewhat taller, while the vertical stripes are the ones that will make you look taller with little effort. It doesn't really matter how long the stripes are.Wear the same color pants and jacket. One trick is that you can take advantage of the large soles to gain a few centimeters with boots or shoes or place insoles inside the shoes.
The ideal thing that we can carry out is a consultation with your relatives, finding out how formal the event you will attend is, and thus be able to choose the appropriate clothing.
Looking formal all day looks bad, and looking casual all day, too. Remember that extremes are never good, so a style in between is never lacking in elegance.
Calvin Klein Underwear, is the reference brand in men's underwear, that's why I want it to be the reference in this article. This underwear top turns 30 years old, which is said soon, and they do it by innovating in men's underwear and helping us stop buying basic underpants and bet on a bit of sophistication for this type of garment. For their anniversary, they launched a special line of men's underwear, which I love, and which maintains the simple and sporty lines that the firm has already accustomed us to.
It is true that it has somewhat high prices, however Calvin Kein underwear offers high quality garments with unique and very interesting designs. For this reason, there is nothing left to do but sing to them that "and may you fulfill many more" so that they continue working/working to give us men a well-cared interior. Do not forget, the important thing is the interior! Judge for yourselves.
We have to, as we said before, analyze what our figure is. The secret is to highlight the positive points and to camouflage what we like least about our body. If you don't have ripped abs and you have a belly, don't wear tight shirts. But beware, this does not mean that you wear the XXL shirts, the only thing that will seem with these is that you have been abducted by a sack of potatoes and it will seem at first glance that you have more kilos left over. Wear a shirt that is roomy, but not oversized. Just like if you have very thick legs, don't wear tight pants or leggings.
Another very important rule is to dress depending on the sport you are going to do. Come on, if you are going to do pilates or even yoga, do not go with tight shorts that you would use to do spinning.
Every man has ever wondered how to combine his socks with his pants or has made some other question of this type at some point in his life. Here are 6 important points that can clarify a little the confusion that can arise when combining some clothes.
Always combine the belt with the shoes. This is a very good rule and easy to carry out. It's best to stick with traditional colors like black, dark brown or tan. Other colors will be difficult to match, so it's best to avoid them. If you wear sneakers, you probably wear jeans, in which case it would be better to wear a fabric belt or some casual belt, but it is better to avoid dress belts if you wear jeans and sneakers. If you wear suspenders, better not wear a belt.
How to combine ties with shirts. The tie of the same color as the shirt or a lighter shade has already been seen too much. Try to mix a little more the colors and designs of the ties and experiment a little. Ties are a good way to express yourself. You'll never go wrong trying diagonal stripes, trendy knits, plaid patterns or subtle patterns. Try to make sure your tie matches your shirt, sweater, jacket, or whatever you're wearing. Ties with novelty designs are best avoided, as they tend to have a short life in the fashion world. Ties can be tied in many ways. Choose your style, you can experiment. Each different knot will express something different. It is preferable that you do not use clips on ties, they look better without them. We leave you a video of how to tie a tie knot correctly.
Pleats versus plain front on pants. In most cases, pants with a flat front look better than pants with pleats (those that are pleated at the waist). Pleats make you look less skinny. Some men say they wear pleated pants because it's more comfortable or because flat-front pants are for athletic bodies. And the truth is that all men can wear the pants without a crease and they will look better. If you want to feel more comfortable and loose you can buy a larger size or ask the place where you buy it to enlarge your waist. In short, plain pants at the front without pleats at the front are more fashionable.Socks. The official rule regarding socks is that they should match the color of the pants, not the exact same shade, unless you're wearing black pants, in which case black socks are fine. Socks with some design are very good, stripes or patterns of various colors. But it is important that the colors of the socks match the shoes and pants. White socks should be reserved for the gym. Now a video on how to wear short socks or mini socks.
Watches. Watches are the best accessory a man can wear. For this reason it is good to invest in a good watch. If you have more than one watch, wear the appropriate watch for the occasion, black mesh if the belt and shoes are black, brown if they are, or silver for other colors.
Glasses. Glasses are one of the accessories in which you can express yourself freely. They do not have to simply fulfill their function, but they can also favor your entire look. Not only look for those glasses that favor the shape of your face, but also express your personality. When you buy glasses it is good that they advise you on what shape and style they should be so that they favor your face and features.
Currently, there are many men who suffer from the syndrome of poor dressing, that is, of dressing in sizes that are not the ones that correspond to them, and that are usually two or three sizes larger than what they really need.
We do not know for sure what this bad dress syndrome is due to, but I am sure that one of the influences of this problem is due to the "rappers and reggaeton singers" who wear clothes that are too big for them and therefore men usually wear loose clothes too.
But do not think that they occur only in the fields of music, here I have some images that show that office workers also often have this problem.Forget about wide shirts when dressing formally. Choose a more fitted shirt that will make you have a better physical appearance. Leave the loose clothes for your training or to feel more comfortable when you are at home. Remember that the image we project is very important.
It may seem silly, but it is a reality, the garment that one wears must be their size in order to achieve a better effect in the eyes of other people and also to be able to feel good about oneself.This is a super simple piece of advice that I hope you put into practice to end once and for all the bad dress syndrome that afflicts society.
At least use it when you go to work or in more formal clothes, you already know that personal presence is the most important thing, especially in work environments. And if not, compare the following two photographs.
I advise you to complement these tips for dressing well, with a good haircut, since it is part of our style. It is useless to dress well and wear our hair badly.
