The 4 Most Important Aspects of a Man’s Fashion Sense

If you are looking for ways to boost your look and fashion sense, this post is for you. Here are some of the most important fashion aspects to consider. 

Want to Become a More Fashionable Man? Here’s What You Need to Know

Let’s face it. We all want to look good. Right? Whether it’s for showing off, trendsetting, or impressing the ladies, looking fashionable is one way to stand out from the crowd. And while many prefer mimicking celebs, it’s usually much better to have your own unique sense of style. 

That means wearing the right attire, shoes, and accessories; while making sure your hairstyle matches your outfits. Obviously, even with the best outfit, you won’t look good with unkempt hair/beard and dry, flaky skin, will you? Anyway, if you’re a man in need of fashion and styling tips, here are a few important aspects to consider:

1. Your Hairstyle

Yes. A haircut forms an integral part of a man’s fashion statement. Arguably, it’s one of the first things people will see when they look at you. Therefore, you have to choose a style that not only represents your character but also conforms to current trends. Get it? 

Now, much like clothing, you can use some of the best men’s haircuts to style for different events and settings. For example, Fades, Buzzcuts, Pompadours, Ivy Leagues, Slick Backs, and Side Parts are great for formal events and office environments. On the other hand, Mohawks, Faux Hawks, Man Buns, and Undercuts are mostly informal; ideal for parties, clubbing, concerts, and so on. 

But! Before you choose a haircut, you should ensure it is ideal for you. How? Well, you need to make a few considerations, including:

• Your face shape. 
• Hair length. 
• Hair type. 
• As well as the amount of free time you have. If you’ve got more of it, you can go for a high-maintenance haircut. If not, stick to a low-maintenance style. 

2. Your Accessories

Here, we are talking about things like watches, wallets, sunglasses, caps, rings, chains, ties, pocket squares, and so on. In fact, if you are a fan of hip hop, then you know how crazy-expensive it can get when celebs try to accessorize. For example, Jay Z owns a $5 Million Hublot’s Big Bang Watch while Lil Wayne’s Gold/Platinum-covered Grill is worth a whopping $150K. But you don’t have to spend that much on decent accessories, do you?

Styling experts recommend you keep it to a minimum. Accessorizing might be a great way to complement your look, but you shouldn’t overdo it. Why? When you wear everything all at once, it not only disrupts your style but also confuses your admirers (too many things to check out). Therefore:

• Wear one ring (if you really must).
• Match your sunglasses to the shape and size of your face to avoid looking girly or cartoonish. 
• Wear a fitting cap, if you’ll spend a lot of time outdoors. 
• Make sure your watch matches the occasion. Leather, analog watches for official events, and digital/plastic watches for outdoor/informal environments. 

3. Your Outfits

Here, it’s simple. Your wardrobe should be more inclined towards what you spend most of your time doing. If you spend a lot of time at the office, make sure you have enough suits. If you travel/vacation a lot, go big on T-Shirts, Polo Shirts, Jeans, Khakis, Track Suits, Beach Wears, and so on. 

Now, when wearing an outfit, make sure it’s fitting. Baggy apparel may look cute on women, but they don’t have the same effect on men. And when you can’t decide on the right colors, always go for darker shades. 

For example, black, navy blue, dark green, dark brown, dark blue, and grey for formal wear. And white, beige, and red among other bright colors for informal occasions. But, whatever you do, make sure you stick to dress code rules. 

4. Your Footwear

With shoes, it gets easier. Own a shoe for every occasion. And I don’t mean having a truck-load of footwear. No! Three pairs will do; i.e. casual (any color), semi-formal (mostly brown), and formal (black or polished brown).
