Fashion advice for men is much needed nowadays when menswear evolves into rich and mixed styles, from experimental to trendy. All these aesthetics can give you a headache and you can end up having too much clutter - although there are ways to avoid it and we're here to guide you today. Because these dressing suggestions have been good for generations - so they will work well today. Don't forget, it's all about high quality, versatility, and a good fit.

You probably heard about a ton of rules, and maybe already know some of the ones we're about to write. For the ones you didn't know, grab a pen and paper and get ready to study how to dress excellently today.

How to wear a suit

If there's one key for a suit that looks amazing, that key is certainly a good fit. So, focus on the fit on your shoulders, as getting the chest and waist altered is fairly easy, according to Davide Taub, head of bespoke suits at Savile Row tailor Gieves & Hawkes. He says that you should be cautious about wearing a period suit unless you’re looking for a total period look. However, go for the classics that are useful: two buttons, dark, and with fewer details. Because the suit can be your uniform and you also have to wear it well.

How to pick a watch

You should always pick a watch when you love it - and never because you think it might make cash. What's more, watches are very personal, marking your own passage through time - so they have to be practical, functional, and aesthetically pleasing according to your style. So make sure it fits you, it feels comfortable, and is good in terms of size and depth.

How to use colors

Casualwear or formalwear? Make sure you don't skip colors. It's true that most men are scared of colors but you shouldn't be intimidated. Because the color is also timeless and you can wear a dashing green suit or pink, or even mustard. Be versatile, and play with colors.

How to wear your jeans

One of the most popular pieces of clothing of all time is of course the jeans. The slim-tapered jeans are wide, comfortable, and perfect for any shoe. You can also wear them all year round with any top, in any style. Invest in dark denim and don't be afraid to let them age.

How to practice self-care

And not only care for yourself, but also for the clothes and accessories you have. So, get the best wooden hangers, and shoe spaces, dry-clean the suits, don't tumble dry clothes as the fabric will be affected. And take care of your skin, and have a simple routine for your face, hair, and nails.

How to do underwear

Yes, underwear is also a significant part of your style, even though it's invisible. But luckily, you only have to follow 2 rules: no funny prints and pick underwear that is simple but of good quality. Choose natural, organic cotton over any other synthetic fabrics for comfort and trust us, your sensitive, intimate skin will thank you later.

How to invest in shoes

First, make sure the design you're buying is classic, timeless and simple. Don't invest in pretentious and fussy colors or patterns for your shoes. Because trends come and go, quality shoes that are also in style are quite timeless and they should last you at least 15 years. Classic styles include loafers, round-toe, brogues, or five-eyelet.

How to do accessories

Accessories such as ties and pocket quads obtain uniqueness to classic clothing, but be mindful of how you utilize them. Try to harmonize them with what you are wearing by selecting a color or two. What you don’t want is to match them. Why? Because when it comes to shirt and tie blends, you should wear your tie in a darker shade than your jacket. A good rule about accessories is to think that less is more and always take one piece out before leaving the house.

How to dress for the occasion

Besides being self-expression, style is also about being clothed suitably for your circumstances and environment or the occasion. So, think of clothes as a puzzle that needs to fit perfectly with other pieces like the setting you are in, the weather, and the time or occasion like a dinner or a hike. And finally, don’t be afraid to change things up and experiment with what you like.
