Just throwing money at a new wardrobe won't instantly make you stylish. Trust me, from my own experience, it’s the small, incremental tweaks that truly elevate your look over time.
Remember, no one can force you into a style. Style is about choice - your choice. 😉
Plan Tomorrow’s Outfit Before Bed
Preparation is always key. Spend 10-15 minutes before bed thinking about what you’ll wear the next day. If you have extra time, go ahead and iron your shirt in advance.
Or, take it a step further: dedicate an hour on Sunday to plan out several outfits for the week ahead. Create different combos for various situations - meetings, casual outings, date nights. Lay out your options, snap some quick photos, and save them to your phone. That way, if you’re in a rush later in the week, you won’t waste time or risk a fashion misstep. 😉
Stuck in a Style Rut?
Feeling like your current style is a bit stale? You don’t need to overhaul your entire wardrobe. Small changes can refresh your look.
A button-down collar shirt with collar buttons provides a neat and tidy look.
Try swapping your go-to sneakers for a pair of monk straps or derby shoes. Or replace your basic T-shirt with a crisp button-down shirt for a subtle yet noticeable upgrade.
Start Carrying a Bag
Most guys aim to travel light, but carrying a sleek bag for essentials like your laptop, keys, and wallet can be a game changer. Constantly cramming your pockets with bulky items will ruin the shape of your trousers and make your outfit look untidy.
A well-chosen bag - a briefcase, backpack, or crossbody - adds style points while keeping your pockets clutter-free.
Coordinate Your Leather Accessories
We often rely on neutral colors like black, grey, and navy because they’re easy to match. For leather accessories - belts, shoes, bags, and watch straps - stick to the same tone where possible.
Don’t stress about matching the exact shade. For instance, brown leather comes in many varieties - chestnut, chocolate, tan. Even pairing a dark grey belt with black shoes can work as long as the overall look is cohesive.
Invest in Your Skin
Looking good isn’t just about clothes. Take care of your skin, too. If you're already washing your face daily, that’s a great start, but you can take it up a notch by adding toner, moisturizer, and products to tackle specific issues like acne or dark spots.
There’s no shame in having a solid skincare routine. The better your skin looks, the better your overall appearance will be. A little effort here goes a long way.
Stand Tall
Good posture is an underrated style boost. Even the sharpest outfit will lose its impact if you’re slouching. Standing tall improves your confidence and presence - so straighten up and let your style shine.
