Today, I share with you my essential style tips for men who want to look better.
These tips and concepts will help you look your best, no matter if you are a total beginner or an experienced stylist.
1. Realize that dressing well is a skill
Dressing well can be learned, just like cooking and shooting free throws.
As a personal stylist, my job is not to just buy clothes for men and send them off. I help men choose the right clothes to enhance their appearance so that they can make it on their own. If dressing well was something that you could learn, it would be impossible for me to find a job.
You get better at all skills the more you practice. Except if you live in a weirdo nudist colony, which I would like to apologize for, but you must dress every day. This means that you can practice and develop the skill of dressing well each day.
2. DEVELOP YOUR EYE BY IDENTIFYING THE STYLE YOU LIKE
Often, after men tell me they aren’t “naturally styled”, I follow up with:
“I don’t have the eye to put together outfits or know what looks good.”
Here is what I say to them:
“Ok. “Ok. You think, “I would like to wear that” even if it’s not something you can do. It could be a celebrity, musician, or athlete. It could even be a fictional character. My clients mentioned Tony Stark or James Bond before.
He will then name a bunch of men that he considers cool for their dresses. Then I point out that he has just disproved his own belief that he doesn’t have an “eye”. He showed me that he can see great style and recognize it!
He might not yet know why, which is often why men tell me that they don’t see. It is possible to learn why.
It’s crucial to challenge the stories you tell yourself when you set out to achieve a goal. It could be that you have a poor eye for fashion, are too busy to exercise, or just shy. Stories we tell ourselves can often keep us from leaving our comfort zone.
3. Get the RIGHT FIT to solve 90% of your style problems
When it comes to great fashion, fit is everything. It is so important that I tell all my clients that “fitting properly will solve 90%” of their style problems.
If clothes don’t fit correctly, they can make your body look smaller. Excessive fabric can make clothes look larger than they actually are.
Because it “feels more comfortable”, men have a tendency to wear larger clothes than they need.
A good fit can make someone, like Ryan Gosling, look effortless stylish in plain white jeans and a plain white shirt. However, someone can look awful in a nice suit that cost 20x as much.
This means that if you believe you need to wear a suit to be stylish, it is not true.
You can look great in leather jackets and jeans if you are more like me. As long as your clothes fit properly. Check out this season’s pieces from Togel.
4. SURROUND YOURSELF (EVEN IF IT IS ONLINE) WITH STYLISH PEOPLE
The biggest obstacle to making any changes in your life, especially if it’s something physical like you, is the unexpected.
There is a good chance that your changes will not be received positively by everyone around you, whether it’s your family members, friends, girlfriends, or coworkers.
You must agree to work one-on-one with me as a client if you wish to work one on one with me. This means that your girlfriend or spouse is not permitted to join us for any of our sessions, or on shopping trips.
After working with a client whose spouse insisted that she participate in styling sessions, I came up with this rule. I would get feedback from her on each piece of advice that I gave. She said that he didn’t like it and preferred to wear this, effectively negating any advice I might have given.
He was encouraging her bad taste.
After a few weeks, I quickly refunded his money. Then I created this rule.
People are uncomfortable with change. It forces them to face the fact that they are working hard to improve their lives and challenges what they do for themselves.
One of my all-time favorite quotes is “You are the average 5 people around your.” The people we surround ourselves with have a huge impact on how we act, behave, and think.
This is why successful businessmen are often friends. This is why Crossfitters who are fit and attractive are often surrounded by Crossfitters who are also fit and attractive. It’s also why obese parents are more likely have obese children.
If you are looking to improve your style, this is exactly what you need. It is important to surround yourself with people who share your goals.
5. BE STRONG IN A CLASSIC STYLE PRIOR TO Trying to develop a personal style
People make the mistake of thinking that they have to be unique in order to improve their style.
This is an example of “Extreme Thinking”.
Do you want to lose 20 pounds?
“Ugh. “Ugh. Forget it”
Do you want to save money on a vacation?
“I have to cancel my Netflix account and stop going out on weekends. I also need to defer my student loans. If I want to have fun, I will probably have to miss some credit card payment. It’s going to ruin me credit. I won’t be able to take a vacation now.
Think of your style as a chef learning how to cook when you are trying to improve it.
They don’t set out to create a new and innovative dish.
They start with the basics of cooking and technique. They then add bits and pieces from their personalities and interests to give them a new spin.
The exact same thing will happen with your style.
First, focus on classic styles and then add your personal touch later.
