Sometimes you seriously attempt to make a change but really don’t know where to start or how much is actually required to do so. And more than likely you don’t have friends you are comfortable enough to ask. So what I always go by are celebrities whose looks I admire. But realistically they have to be similar in body and skin tone . The key is not to copy but imitate.
This is difficult for some because even though you admire or relate to a celebrity, not everything they wear is for you. It’s the same thing with any media source about fashion. Most of the things you see are crazy. But that is their purpose, to stand out. A plain common style won’t get noticed, but wild outrageous will. But the key for you is to look at the pieces, not the whole. Find 1 thing that seems to fit who you are.
It’s just like following a celebrity. Look at basic elements they use. One of my big influences is Steve McQueen. He wore lots of thick, rugged sweaters. He used denim and leather a lot, fitting in with his rugged personality. But he also looked great in fitted suits. So that is most of my wardrobe. I grew up admiring the King of Cool, and also grew into not quite the King but at least a member of his court. 😉.
The key is follow certain basic elements of that celebrity style. Fabrics, color preferences, fit to develop your own style. Remember, they are usually dressed by someone or given a wardrobe by a brand looking for him to push. While I like the Tom Ford line ( he does Daniel Craig , James Bond ) I relate more to Tom Hardy. Find someone as a starting point and use that as a foundation for your own style. Any little change is growth to being your own man, which is who we were all meant to be.
