Style – Be The Man

While I always want to keep a clean simple look, there are small details that can make a big impression. I prefer a basic fitted look because it presents our best assets while keeping a mature yet attractive appearance. Now the exact details on how to dress are not the focus of this post,however it still doesn’t mean that anything you throw on will look good. You have to recognise certain styles fit your demeanor and body type . That is only found through trial and error, or you can get professional help, like in my case , I contact my good friend, suitaddiction.com and he will meet me to solve any questions and stop me from spending too much money . Because expensive does not equal better .

By selecting the right accessories, we can take a nice shirt and pants and make you stand out in a room of average guys. I always wear a watch but depending on my footwear, that is how I select which to use. Leather shoes, usually dictate a leather watch and belt. I can also wear a metal watchband, but it will not be a sporty or casual one. I mentioned belt because the typical belt shoe synchronicity should be followed. Not so exact with color, but with the finish; shiny or matte. The watch must always fit the shoes because the belt may not show but your hands and feet are always present. Whether sneakers, loafers or wingtips, women will always look and as you reach to shake hands ( my move) she sees your watch next and then your SMILE ( a whole post or 2 in itself ) !

The more casual your look, the more variety you can have with these choices , as long as they play together. But a nice, not necesarily expensive watch and good, clean shoes and a well kept belt will be the details that make you shine.

The first factor and most important when selecting clothing is fit. Fashion, fabric, color and any other option is secondary. No matter how expensive, great quality, or design the article has, if the fit is poor it will always look bad. Most men dress way too big for their size and this creates a bad image. Although the main choice for the average man is comfort, that goes against what we need to project in order to upgrade our look. If you are heavy and your shirt is very loose it makes you look even heavier. There is no end to your body in the shirt so wherever the fabric goes, it becomes you. And a droopy, saggy cloth creates a more damaging illusion. The same goes if you are thin. The wide neck and sleeves make you look even skinnier. Since there is little form within, all we see are elbows and adams apple. However too tight shows bones on the slender and fat on the large man.

So the fit has to flatter the chest and shoulders. Notice when you get a fitted shirt it goes by neck, chest and sleeve length. Important details. What is exposed, you want to present in the best light so you want to draw the eye to chest and shoulders, even if you aren’t muscular. Only other guys care if you have huge muscles. But when you bring up all of your attributes, it will show your strengths and downplay your weaknesses.

With the right fit a plain shirt will always look good. A designer shirt that is too big will lose value. Clean , neat , and good fit always beats a heavy price tag. A Timex watch can finish a look ( see Daniel Craig ) as well as a Rolex worth thousands that slides up and down your arm. Would you wear expensive shoes that are very tight? But clean , polished basic shoes are a great touch ( and important to women) . They pay close attention to shoes, watch and belt, and smile. They know a man who pays attention to detail can appreciate a good woman.
