Hi everyone. Here are some quick tips that every man should know so as to help you through a great fashion Experience.

1. Fit is King – basically, the best improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body – without being tight.

2. Keep it simple – You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more.

3. Change the way you see casual – casual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently. You could always add a big of Formal wear to casual

4. Never go shopping alone – Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the person selling because they usually work for their product to be sold. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion on things like whether to buy or not, if its cool or not. Etc

5. Invest in a superb pair of shoes – If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.

6. Disregard trends – Dont buy stuffs because its trending now – stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to  build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you so much money!

7. Don’t be a sucker for brand names – Don’t be a Patrick Bateman. Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying it simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality and style. Ask yourself,  “Would I buy this if there was no logo on it?”

8. Continually cultivate your image – Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships. Oscar Schoffler, longtime fashion editor of Esquire once said, “Never underestimate the power of what you wear. After all, there’s just a small bit of yourself sticking out at the collar and cuff. The rest of the world sees what you drape on your frame.” Like I always say ‘ the cooperate life is expensive’ but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look good. Invest in your looks, be great, feel great and watch people admire.

9. Physical looks – Even if your fashion is golden, your physical looks are important. Have a great haircut and shave. Be well kept

10. Accessories and Details – never look down on details. Its might just be one item and you could think someone wouldn’t notice but people really do. It could be a scarf, pocket square or any other and they do mean a whole lot.
