How Men Should Dress Well | Tips and Tricks

The image has become very important in men, we must know how to choose, combine and know the tricks to be more handsome.

HOW TO DRESS WELL. MEN | TIPS AND TRICKS

Why not say it, men love to dress well, to have a modern and modern look. My friends and many women have asked me what are the most important style of secrets, to seek 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 life and in your professional life.

The first step that we must be clear about 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 collared shirt is perfect for men with a round face.

Also, 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 clothes should be combined correctly. Sometimes it is not just a matter of wearing a good suit, but we have to know how to wear it and especially what tones 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 how to dress according to body type. Also, you should always take into account the colours that can suit you according to the latest trends.

Fashion is not only wearing the most beautiful of each season, but it is also 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. Ready to learn to dress well?

BASIC TIPS TO DRESS WELL EVERY SEASON

FOOTWEAR IS BASIC

Why are there still a few men who value their shoes? Recall the statement that we can “judge or know a man by his shoes.”

If you’ve never owned very good shoes before, the time has come. You must-have comfortable and sporty shoes, but the key to making your suit look good will always be a good matching tie, and of course, good dress shoes that you can take advantage of for years.

YOU MUST DRESS ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE

Shirts or T-shirts with jeans are basic for men of all kinds, but as you get older it is essential to know what some things are better to leave in the closet. If you are already over 40, put aside the shirts and if you want to be able to say that you dress well, start using shirts (some basic such as white or navy blue), and other types of pants, either Chinese, or even dress pants, and it won’t hurt to wear shoes more often.

IGNORE FASHION TRENDS

Be careful that I don’t want you to misunderstand this point. I’m not saying that you don’t have to be attentive to things such as what tones are worn each season or if it is better to wear a more or less fitted “look”, but don’t insist on always wearing the latest thinking that 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 all over the place, when we know that next year they might not even be worn.

TAKE CARE OF THE CLOTHING

This is essential to know how to dress well. You should not wear clothes that look very worn, but that does not mean that you should throw them away 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 you for years and you can boast of always being impeccable.

YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE GOOD SUIT IN YOUR CLOSET

And one that’s a basic colour, be it grey, black, or navy blue (or all three). A fitted suit that you can take advantage of for big occasions. Not me I mean any suit. You must invest your money as if you were going to buy any other “investment” for the future. You may be going to wear it on rare occasions, but if you take care of it and keep your weight regularly, you can always say that you are right when the occasion calls for it.

JEANS, THEY ARE BASIC

As long as you have a good pair of jeans, it will happen to you as with the suit; that you will be successful. Try to have some blue and other black, that fit you well and that you wear regularly, either with a shirt or sweater or with a blazer.

COTTON PANTS

Cotton pants, of the Chinese type or more to dress, are essential for those occasions when you want to look better than with jeans. It is better that you buy a couple of tones like navy blue or cream, and you will see how the possibilities with them are endless.

Remember

• Do not be guided by trends.
• Go for basic fashion like jeans or cotton pants.
• Dress according to your age.
• Give footwear the importance it deserves.

HOW TO DRESS WELL ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY TYPE OR CONSTITUTION

Let’s start with the slimmest men. This type of body does not usually find any problem to find the clothes of the size that best suits them but they should take into account a few tips:

HOW TO DRESS WELL IF YOU ARE SLIM

A slim person has, as a general rule, a less muscular structure than the rest. The limbs of the thin person are usually long.

Volume: This is a point to take into account when choosing a coat or pants. Play with the volume of the garments: large pockets,….

Pants: The cut of your pants, to be well dressed, must be straight so as not to exaggerate the figure. Forget about skinny pants! These will make you look much slimmer. Although they are trending, they are not the best option unless you want to see yourself as a “punk” boy and maybe you are not old enough either.

Suit: If you want to choose a suit, take into account 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 suits, the volume is not necessary since you must provide them with shirts, ties and jackets.

Informal looks: For everything that is 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 baggy or that are straight rather than too tight. It is not a matter of buying loose clothing or that is not your size but do not wear very tight clothes since your body will look without shape or contour.

Take Jared Leto’s example. His complexion is slim but he knows how to make the most of it. This white suit is tacky but defends it like few others. The shoulder straps give it back, the hat gives it roominess and the neckline draws attention. It also helps to be one of the most handsome men in the world. However, one of the advantages of being slim is that you can risk more.

Shirts: You can opt for the currently fashionable t-shirts, known as “oversize” and which are somewhat wider and also longer. With them, you can “hide” a little your thin body and have a somewhat more “plump” shape.

Remember:

• Do not choose too long suits
• Choose garments with volume
• It is better to choose loose or straight clothes
• Oversize shirts will look good on you

HOW TO DRESS WELL IF YOU ARE “PUPPY”

Fat or endophoric bodies tend to get fat. They have a wider waist than usual and have a higher density. The limbs are shorter than other people.

Size: People who are chubby or with endophoric bodies must 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 garments without always having to wear black, to look thinner or fatter. Look at the picture above, the boy dresses very stylishly despite having a higher weight.

Straight lines: Base your style on vertical and straight lines, be careful with the cuts and lengths of shirts, suits, … Unlike slim ones, never add more layers and volumes. The best pants are those that have a high waist and that provide linearity.

Neutral tones: On the other hand, it is good to use garments in neutral tones, such as black, brown, grey, etc … to which you can get the best out of it if what you want is to hide your kilo. Ah, or It is not recommended that you fill yourself with clothes and capes if it is not necessary (for example in winter) if you do not want to look wider still.

is a clear example of what you should not do. The truth is that the singer has a ‘plump’ face, although then he is very strong. But of course, if you are 40 years old and you dress like a 20-year-old, there is something that does not add up. The garish and songy colours don’t help either. This orange can be seen from 5 km away and is not doing anyone a favour with extra pounds.

In part, it is the most difficult way to dress well, but if we apply the advice that I just gave you, you will enhance the silhouette and hide the negative points.

Remember

• Choose clothes in your size
• Choose clothes in neutral tones
• Bet on straight designs

HOW TO DRESS IF YOU ARE MUSCULAR

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 Hemsworth has for example (photo above).

Avoid tight clothing: Muscular people, although with the desired body, do not always succeed with their style to dress since many tend to choose t-shirts, shirts and in general, very tight clothes, but this is a mistake since the only thing that They achieve is to look too tight, without style and even (I would say) something ridiculous if we take into account that a very tight shirt (for example) will also be short because with your pectorals you will cause that you never get to stay in place.

Henry Cavill is a clear example of muscular elegance. A guy who plays Superman and yet sneaks into all the best-dressed lists. His secret is to combine clothes neither tight nor loose, with neutral colours and a lot of basics. The white shirt is non-negotiable in his wardrobe and the pleated trousers, a regular in his appearances. Be careful, accessories are very good for the muscular. Watches, sunglasses, necklaces …

Balance: If thanks to your constitution and the effort you make in the gym you have achieved a muscular body, the only thing you have to do to dress well is to find a balance between the waist and the shoulders. This is one of the biggest problems that athletic people can encounter.

From here, another question that we can ask ourselves is: Loose garments or tight garments? neither extreme 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 top, for example. Avoid extremes.

Remember

• Tight clothing doesn’t suit you
• Find the balance between the waist and shoulders

HOW TO DRESS WELL ACCORDING TO HEIGHT

HOW TO DRESS WELL IF YOU ARE TALL

Blazers: Tall men fit very well jackets that are type bombers, in addition to jackets that are double-breasted and blazers or American. Play with the prints and with the jackets that have large drawings, you will also dress well if you bet on the “denim” style that is a trend this 2020 and for all of 2021.

Skinny pants: For tall people, skinny pants are the most ideal to dress well. But the problem is that not everyone likes to wear this model of pants. Straight pants also look good on you. If you have money, take advantage of making a custom suit, you will immediately notice how well it can fit you and the difference with any other type of suit.

Russell Westbrook, although it is hard to believe, is a fashion reference in the NBA. He is not afraid of anything and his outfits are the most talked about in the world of sports. A great friend of skinny pants and impossible colours, RW33 knows how to take advantage of it. Short t-shirts, common caps and rounded boots are common in their looks.

Round footwear: On the other hand it is always better that you choose footwear that is not pointed. Maybe what I say sounds silly to you but if you are very tall, I am convinced that your feet will be quite large so that you do not want to look like a duck by choosing pointed shoes, it is better to opt for sports shoes with rounded toes such as “running” type shoes or shoes such as round-toe boots and ankle boots.

Remember

• Bet on bombers and blazers
• Always wear skinny pants
• Forget about pointed shoes

HOW TO DRESS IF YOU’RE LOW

Short men, the size that best suits them is the one that rests on the hips. The more fitted the better.

Tight pants: A short man will always be better with trousers that are adjusted to a wider one. Then why is easy since with A slim-fit trousers will make your leg look more defined and therefore somewhat longer even if you are short. Also if you choose patterns like the striped one you will look taller.

Horizontal stripes: The horizontal stripes give the appearance of having a wider body and with this, you can pretend that you are somewhat taller, while the vertical stripes are the ones that they will make you look taller with little effort. The length of the stripes doesn’t matter.

Colours: Use the same colour for pants and jacket. One trick is that you can take advantage of the fact that large soles are worn to gain a few centimetres with boots or shoes or place insoles inside the shoes.

And if we talk about colours, appears on the scene. The singer is 1.65 meters tall but knows how to look taller. Heeled shoes, bright colours and his essential hat make him gain a few important centimetres. Nobody would say that Bruno Mars is so short until he sees him next to Taylor Swift.

Remember

• Don’t wear baggy pants
• Bet on horizontal striped prints and shades always of the same colour in jacket and pants
• Bet on templates

HOW TO DRESS WELL: LIFESTYLE

When it comes to dressing, you have to take into account the you have. If you run a position with responsibility, leadership and authority, the image should reflect ability, knowledge and experience. And you will ask yourself: Can you achieve this with just clothes? Absolutely YES, the long years of study and preparation will be of no use to you if in the end all that is not projected in your image. This can help you make this path much easier and not become an obstacle.

If you work or lead a more relaxed life you will always be able to vary much more in what “looks” and colours are concerned. In summer, for example, take advantage of the use of Bermuda shorts that we can find in a “denim” or “Chinese” style or you can also combine styles. Basic t-shirt with patterned pants for example. Always choose to risk and you will see how little by little you will get it right.

DRESS STYLES

Along with taking into account how your body is, or the lifestyle you lead to know how to get the clothes you wear right, we also have to talk about clothing styles and how these also suit each moment and above all, it is necessary to know what trends exist for each of them.

There are many styles of clothing for men that we find from the proposals of fashion firms, so we want to review those that are essential and with which you can dress appropriately for each occasion.

CASUAL STYLE”

We start with “casual”, a well-known and popular style of dress among men, which consists of dressing in an informal but appropriate way. What do I mean by this? Well, you must have basic clothes in your closet that can be used both to go to work and to go out with friends for example. Garments that combined, provide a current style but without falling into formalities.

For example, betting on chinos, in shades like camel, and a sweater or shirt will be the key to a fall-winter casual. In summer you can dress the same, although with Bermuda shorts or also short-sleeved shirts. Sports shoes also combine very well with this type of style.

Do you want to dress well? Follow David Beckham on social networks and copy everything, absolutely everything, what he wears. A true icon of elegance, know-how and the sublimation of casual style.

STYLE “DENIM”

Denim is a popular style of clothing, although it consists of combining denim clothing, such as jeans, shirts or jackets, and at the same time introducing other garments that we can also include in that style.

In this way, along with the fact that it is the main one to combine a denim style, it will always be good for you to introduce garments of the style of sweaters, printed shirts and of course, that you use basic shirts such as white ones that are in fact, another reference within fashion style “denim”.

The ‘denim’ style is Lenny Kravitz’s style par excellence. Rocker, eternally young and perfectly combined with leather, his other weakness. A banner of the cowboy.

STYLE “ATHLEISURE”

The “athleisure” style is perhaps one of the most recent clothing styles although we cannot say that it is new. Perhaps it has become a trend that has been taken into account in recent months, but the truth is that wearing sportswear combined with other garments that are not, is something that many men have been doing for years.

In this way, you can bet on jogger pants, combined with sweatshirts, and at the same time, dress shirts, or sweatshirts with jeans or chinos. It is certainly an informal style although it provides a fresher “look” when it comes to dressing in comfortable clothes.

FORMAL STYLE

Of the dress styles that I have mentioned so far, all of them are quite identified with the fact of dressing informally, but we also have to highlight, of course, the formal dress style that is essential on certain occasions.

Thus, you should always have a suit or several in your closet, so that you can dress formally when you have a date, a work meeting, an event or any occasion that requires formality.

There are men who, because of their work, must wear suits daily. Thus, they must master the formal style and know what suits like black, navy blue or grey. Also, we can add combinations such as blazers with jeans and a shirt. Also a simple dark-coloured sweater with dress pants or chinos. Both can be considered formal “looks”.

STYLE “BOHO”

Another of the men’s clothing styles that we want to refer to is the “boho” style that seems to have become fashionable for some time, and although it is imposed among women, men have also noticed it.

This style, of which we find references in celebrities such as Johnny Depp, makes “hippie” fashion its base of clothing although updated to the present, using “slim” cut jeans, dark shirts with vests, or striped shirts, and of course the use of accessories such as felt hats, scarves, necklaces and bracelets.

“HIPSTER” STYLE

Along with the “boho” style, the “hipster” style also prevails among the 2021 clothing styles, which also seems to have penetrated many men, although it must be taken into account that it is not only characterized by a series of specific garments but that it is also “hipster” to wear a certain type of beard and even hairstyle.

Anyway, if we have to look at the clothes that characterize the “hipster” style without mentioning the long and bushy beards or the “undercut” haircuts, you can not miss the plaid shirts, nor the dark and tight jeans, as well as the use of Nappa jackets, jeans, suede and of course, boots and ankle boots as a key to footwear.

ROCK STYLE

A style that, as its name suggests, will consist of the use of garments that are associated with rock culture and although it is nothing new, the truth is that it has also been updated to our days.

In this way, if you want to be able to dress with a rocker style of 2021, you can not miss, of course, a good leather jacket, and well-fitting jeans, but you must also introduce other garments such as printed shirts, as well as The use of accessories such as felt hats and scarves, as well as footwear that not only have to boot, can perfectly be somewhat more stylish shoes.

SPORT STYLE

We have already mentioned the “athleisure” style before, as one of the clothing styles that are currently setting trends, but we cannot forget the sports style as the style that corresponds to wearing sportswear is known.

A style that, like all others, has evolved and is now characterized by the use of breathable materials and garments that also focus on the latest trends in colour and prints to present the latest in sweatshirts, sportswear, tracksuits, and clothing with The one that you generally wear when you go to the gym, practise a sport or simply want to be comfortable.

BASIC GUIDE TO ALWAYS RIGHT WITH YOUR CLOTHES AND ACCESSORIES ON EVERY OCCASION

For all those who are stubborn about not knowing how to dress, or that the “world” of fashion seems completely alien and do not decide to change or improve themselves, we have developed a series of tips to achieve greater elegance and a “ know how to dress “.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CLOTHING

If you want to know how you are dressing, you will see it in the clothes you choose. Each occasion requires a different type of garment: if you are at a formal dinner, you will need formal clothes.

The ideal thing we can do is a consultation with your relatives. Finding out how formal the event you will be attending is, so you can choose the right clothes.

Looking formal all day is bad, and looking casual all day, too. Remember that extremes are never good, so an in-between style is never lacking in elegance.

UNDERWEAR

Where everything begins. It is essential to be comfortable from the most intimate. This means that you should choose comfortable underwear. Also, it allows you to move easily and gives you confidence (in front of a partner, of course). It is often easily overlooked and is a mistake. It should not only be designed for intimate moments as a couple, but also for comfort. Something that is also linked to the image.

HOW TO DRESS WELL WITH SPORTSWEAR

Athletic clothing, as the name implies, is for use in a sporting activity. If you are using this type of clothing to go out, it is wrong. Sportswear is used for sports, period.

We have to, as we have said before, analyze what our figure is. The secret is to highlight the positive points and camouflage what we like least about our body. If you don’t have strong abs and you have a belly, don’t wear tight shirts. But beware, this does not mean that you wear XXL shirts. The only thing that will appear with these is that you have been abducted by a sack of potatoes. At first glance, it will seem that you have more pounds 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’re going to do Pilates or yoga, don’t go with tight shorts that you would use to do the spinning.

HATS, HATS AND FASHION ACCESSORIES

Regarding this section, we must consider that many times the campaigns of the brands we wear tend to present the use of fashion accessories, with different styles and colour combinations. Especially in winter times, the use of hats should not be out of harmony, each combination with other garments must follow a style, and even more so keep a close relationship with the colours used to dress us.

MORE USEFUL TIPS ON FASHIONS TO DRESS WELL

In Fashion They we have published a series of articles, with proposals and tips, so that you learn to improve your appearance when dressing. Little tricks that will make the appearance better.

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 bit the confusion that can arise when combining some clothes.

• Always match the belt with the shoes. This is a very good rule and easy to carry out. It’s best to stick with traditional colours like black, dark brown, or cinnamon. Other colours will be difficult to match, therefore it is best to avoid them. If you wear sneakers, you will surely wear jeans, in that case, it would be better to wear a fabric belt or a casual belt, but it is better to avoid dress belts if you wear jeans and sneakers. If you wear suspenders, better not use a belt.
• How to combine ties with shirts. The tie of the same colour as the shirt or a lighter shade has already been seen too much. Try mixing up the tie colours and designs a bit more and experiment a bit. Ties are a great way to express yourself. You will never go wrong if you try diagonal stripes, modern stitches, Scottish patterns or subtle patterns. Try to make sure your tie matches your shirt, sweater, jacket, or whatever you are wearing. It is best to avoid ties with novel designs, as they tend to have a short life in the world of fashion. Ties can be tied in many ways. Choose your style, you can experiment. Each different knot will express something different. You shouldn’t use clips on the ties, they look better without them. We leave you a video of how to tie a tie correctly.
• Pleats versus plain front on pants. In most cases, pants with a plain front look better than those with pleats (those that are pleated at the waist). The pleats make you look less slim. Some men say they wear pleated pants because it is more comfortable or because flat-front pants are for athletic bodies. And the truth is that all men can wear pants without crease and they will look better. If you want to feel more comfortable and baggy, you can buy a larger size or ask where you buy it to enlarge your waist. In short, plain pants in the front without pleats in the front are more fashionable.
• Socks. The official rule regarding socks is that they must match the colour of the pants, not the same shade unless you are wearing black pants, in which case it is okay for the socks to be black. Socks with some design are very good, stripes or patterns of various colours. But the colours of the socks must match the shoes and pants. White socks should be reserved for the gym. Now a video of how to wear short socks or mini socks.
• Watches are the best accessory that 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 reloj appropriate for the occasion, black mesh if the belt and shoes are black, brown if they are, or silver for other colours.
• Glasses. Glasses are one of the accessories in which you can express yourself freely. They do not have to simply fulfil their function, but they can also favour the entirety of your look. Not only look for those lenses that flatter the shape of your face but also express your personality. When you buy glasses it is good that they advise you of what shape and style they should be so that they favour your face and features.
• The clothes must be of your size: At present, many men suffer from the syndrome of bad dress, that is, to dress in sizes that are not the ones that correspond to them, and that is usually two or three sizes bigger than they need. We do not know for sure why this syndrome of the bad dress is due, but I am sure that one of the influences of this problem is due to the “rappers and reggeatoneros” who wear clothes that are too large and therefore men tend to wear loose clothes too.

This is very simple advice, which I hope you will put into practice. The objective is to end the syndrome of bad dress 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.
