Whenever a man is asked to dress up for any event he normally thinks of a suit or expensive clothing and costly shoes. If that were true how an ordinary man would look fashionable and stylish in his everyday clothing.
StyleShark would like to tip off the gentlemen about power clothing.
- Wear what looks good on you than that you like on others.
- Follow the dress code wherever you go.
- Wear comfortable clothes that fit you well.
- Always accessorize any attire to the minimum.
- Never wear to show off or impress a lady but wear clothing that represents you as an individual.
- If you always have to wear expensive garments to appear trim then you know little about style.
- Don’t confuse style with fashion.
- While moving out for strolls prefer loafers than sleepers. Sleepers should stay within house.

Wear To Your Age To Look Elegant
An older man dressed as a teenager means a flop show. This is what some men might think and they start dressing like a young boy than to wear clothes that fit their age. Of course you can wear what you like but most casual designs like graphic t-shirts, bilious colours and short apparel look fabulous on teens. You can, however, to fulfil your desire pick plain sober colours and decent designs instead.
Look The Part
A logical idea to dress stylishly is to wear what your profession demands.
A businessman should wear clothes that give him an edge over his employees and clients. It is a non-verbal way of showing authority and confidence. He may choose to wear suits in routine and change to business casual on Friday and extra working days.
Particular outfit for a particular situation that’s what you call dress sense.

As a doctor you can integrate a white shirt plus dark trousers and a tie. A white apron to layer is a more professional way of dressing at work. Dark colours and garish clothes will sap you of elegance.
Although a fashion designer dresses his clients in the most fashionable costumes but his own style should remain plain yet unique. If overdressed, he would look a snob.
Fitting Clothes Well Dressed
A snappy dresser chooses fitting over all things. Ensure fitting in all parts of your body. Each piece you throw on should be tailored to go easily on your body and come off without twisting your limbs. Fitting clothes do not mean discomfort!
No matter what your body type is; choose clothing articles to feel great first, next is the fitting, last is the style. comfortable and fit are not interchangeable terms. Comfort suggests a feeling of satisfaction over long period of wear; an item that is not itchy but soft on skin and does not grip you like a glove should mean a comfortable garment.
Fit garment is proportional to your body type, neither long nor short, neither too tight nor too loose.
Feel Confident
It is easy to splurge on fashion but it still takes guts to appear confident in any article you wear. What you get through money is false confidence; it goes up in smoke very soon. Bona fide aplomb comes from within. It is real power that you show with your attitude even in plain clothes. Always feel positive in your clothes.
Wear Nice Hair
How can you ignore your hair when your mission is to outclass everyone? Well-cut immaculately arranged hair is one chief quality of gentlemen. A bunch of hair flying off their place is enough to balls your impression. Your hair come into notice with your entry at any scene. Messy or disorderly hair is bound to cause repulsion and contempt. Mind the difference between an urbane and a primitive man.
Know When To Dress Up & Dress Down
You come into notice when you follow the dress code. It is easy, wear what you should on a specific time. Normally men have three dress codes Formal, semi-formal, casual.
If you classify clothing into three groups you can easily pick them.
Suits and formal shirts should stay in formal collection. Chino, khaki, polo, check shirts may join semi-formal. Denim, Crew-neck, shorts, casual shirts should go into casual box.
However if you scheme a hybrid look by mixing apparel from any two collections you can do it. For instance business casual may be created by picking garments from formal and semi-formal sections. Smart casual can be integrated with casuals and semi-formals. Is not it?
Minimize Accessories
Never gild the lily. Not all outfits require to be accessorized except a tie and watch. Belt and square come secondary, that’s true. Men might link accessorizing to looking expensive and more fashionable but it is very similar to upsetting a set game.
Wear Fetching Colours
Colour is a power dimension of your wardrobe. If you choose colours that do not flatter your complexion, your outfit will be a failed mission. As a general guideline select light colours for summer and dark bright colours for winters. During summers the sun is dazzling and therefore dark colours look odd and in winters light colours appear dull and you need to wear vibrant colours.
Furthermore, all colours in your ensemble should harmonize well for full performance. Seldom mismatched colours reduce the overall harmony of different colours. Even a wrong colour tie or belt is enough to bungle your attire.
Wear white most of the time to look cool and stylish during hot weather. Green is also befitting choice in heat. Blue is a universal colour, pleasant to look at. Prefer your office wear shirts in white and blue as formal and green, pink as casual items.
Suitable Patterns
Pattern means a woven design made to improve visual interest and variety. A pattern may include two or more colours. Next to colour selection of any article you should know which patterns enhance your appearance and can stay in your collection for a long time. No surprise some patterns will become your all-time favourite. On the other hand some patterns will make your fashion more boring than ever.
You should understand that patterns are geometrical shapes and whatever pattern you wear is going change your appearance anew. Always try and imagine how you would look in a particular pattern.
Some popular men’s shirt patterns are pinstripes, thick stripes, variegated stripes, gingham, glen check and windowpane. Few of them are suitable for formal occasions but most are casual patterns.
A slim man would like to wear bigger and thicker patterns viz. windowpane, variegated stripes. These patterns will broaden his silhouette and distract eyes from his slim frame.
Also variegated or thick stripes will further give him visual advantage by adding width to his torso and arms.
Refine Your Choice of Apparel
Choose most attractive clothes to wear while you are preparing to go somewhere. It is the way you gradually build your signature look. Make good combinations with colours. Choose light colours of shirts and T-shirts for daytime while wear darker colours in the evening. Top colours interact with your complexion and give you a relative appearance.
Combine casual shirts with busy patterns with denim and chinos. Keep formal shirts for formal trousers.
Make every shopping trip a planned mission. While selecting apparel ensure you pick the best article which can combine with other wardrobe elements.
Washed And Ironed Clothing
A basic rule of magnetic look is to wear clean and ironed clothes. Everything else precedes this. Washing removes dirt and stains while pressing makes garments appropriate for wearing. Throw on a crumpled shirt and wrinkled trousers on you and check your look in the mirror, next wear the same pieces ironed. You will notice an ocean of difference. That’s why a gentleman should always keep his wardrobe ironed and ready to wear.
Body Language
Appealing body language is must to look sharp all the time. Erect spine while you stand or sit, right gap between your legs. When a man feels confident in his coordinates he sends power waves which improve his chances of getting attention. Meanwhile weak body poses like slouching, lounging and staggering may give strong impression of an unattractive man. Furthermore too much hands and head action is also a bad body language. You should assume a very composed attitude.
Update Key Garments For A Smart Wardrobe
Always update key apparel in your wardrobe. You may also buy two or three pieces of the same item if it enhances your signature look. White shirt for instance, have three white shirts all alike just to ensure you never run out of your favourite pieces.
Another smart way of staying snappier is to have all possible variants of a single article viz. a white shirt in variation of collar type, fabric or other details like buttons. Have a white linen shirt with a Chinese collar, a plain formal white with spread collar and a white button-down slim fit shirt with black buttons to blend passion with style.
Wear Best Shoes
What is the range of shoes that men should own? Only have as many shoe pairs as you lifestyle demands. For formal men whole week goes in only dress shoes and they get weekends to wear casual shoes. They should keep oxfords, derby, and brogue one pair of each.
Businessmen may also like to add Chelsea or chukkas boots for a twist of fashion. Lastly pair of penny loafers is a must-have besides a pair of Belgian or tassel shoes. Of course when you have tough lifestyle you need to relieve yourself and keep fit. For that you may like sports shoes in white and sneaker in dark colour one pair each.
