Become A FanMen's Fashion Tips and Style IdeasWhen it comes to wardrobe & fashion, many guys don't realize that clothing does indeed "make the man." What you wear is just as important to others as to yourself. To be taken seriously in today's society, a first impression does matter. Significantly.
If you want to be noticed favorably by both women and men, we've got some basic fashion and style tips to help you dress up to your potential. Keep in mind, even the most expensive clothing line won't flatter you if you slouch.
Stand up straight and carry yourself with pride. If you
respect yourself, others will too.
Wear Clothes that FitWhy not look good today, instead of some unspecified day in the future, when you gain or lose a few pounds -- and will it really happen? When you're shopping, buy clothes that are comfortable. If you need something altered, visit your tailor.
Find out What Works for YouTake a good look in the mirror and you'll begin to
understand what colors and styles look the best on you. It's OK to try something new, but classics outlive trends.
Maintain Your ClothingDon't wear soiled or wrinkled clothes. Stick to fabrics
that resist wrinkling or learn how to use an iron. Suits
and formal wear should be taken to the dry-cleaner to be
cleaned and pressed.
Stripes - Not the Best ChoiceIt's best to stay away from horizontal stripes, unless your
tall & lean. Most stripes are unflattering, and the
horizontal ones add bulk, can make you appear heavier, and
shorter. Solid colors are a good choice and dark, solids
will make you look slimmer.
Keep it SimpleLoud, bright colors and patterns can make you look
ridiculous. You can't go wrong with basic black and navy
blue for work or casual, it's classic for a reason. You can
add other attractive colors for a perfect match.
Get Rid of Old ClothesDon't be stuck in the "good ole days." If it's out of style, don't wear it anymore. If you can't imagine parting with it, store it. Trends run their cycles and you may once again be able to wear your favorite garments -- but only when they're popular.
Keep Short Sleeves for CasualDon't show up for a job interview or business meeting in a
short-sleeved shirt. Formal and business attire always
include long sleeves and a tie.
