The summer has arrived. Now, you can finally come out of layers of clothing – and make your own fashion statement.
With summers, men’s wear becomes more rich and varied. You get hundreds of opportunities to experiment and try different styles. However, it depends on whether you want to follow current fashion trends or make your fashion statement.
Many style gurus encourage you to follow the trend. However, we agree to disagree with them. You need to make your fashion statement that can rule the minds of anyone who comes into your contact.
But, it is something easier said than done. To make your style statement, you have to be in harmony with your mind and soul. And it is something that will set you apart from the crowd. That’s why they say – if you look good, you feel good.
So, to make your fashion statement, you have to follow a few simple rules. With this short guide to men’s fashion, you’ll have all the necessary tools that you need to create your style without compromising on your comfort. Without any further ado, let’s get ready:
Rule #1 – Make it Fit
When you are home, you don’t care about the fitting of the clothes you wear. It can become a bad habit and seriously damage your style as you may start wearing loose-fitted clothing wherever you go.
So, right here is the rule one for you – ensure you wear properly-fitted clothes when you go outside of your home. It should be your top priority to achieve the style you desire. Moreover, well-fitted clothes make you look more smart and sharp as compared to loose-fitted clothes.
Rule #2 – Quality Over Quantity
You don’t need tons of different clothing materials. What you need is quality over quantity. It means you have to make conscious decisions while you are out shopping rather than buying anything that suits the eye.
Moreover, what’s the purpose of stuffing your wardrobe with needless clothing articles that you don’t want to wear. In reality, it is just a dump that you need to get rid of.
It is a common mistake youngsters make, and they think it is better to have more than less. However, in practice, you’d find that less is more. But make sure you have appropriate clothing articles for every occasion, so you are not left out without options when you go out to a party or an official gathering at work.
Rule #3 – Get Creative
In search of your style, you may have to find reasons to be more creative. So when we say go wild and experiment with colors and different sorts of apparel – make it a rule of thumb. Try hoodies with artistic prints that speak to you. Make a personal connection with the outfit you wear. It will give you more reasons to be happy that will automatically boost your confidence.
You can choose from printed t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, and much more. Sometimes you want to relax, and then you can enjoy yourself. And creative clothing is all about that, and you make these choices only when you want to have a good time with your friends. It will help you blend in comfortably with the crowd while you show your creative side.
Rule #4 – Unfollow the Fashion Trends
You don’t always have to follow the trending and top fashion trends.
Well, this is the whole point of creating your style statement. These fashion trends change so fast that you can’t even make sense of what’s in and out of fashion. And a young man like you should not bother yourself with the changing trends every single week of the year. So, avoid anything, which is not relevant for more than a couple of weeks or maybe months.
The best way is to keep sticking to the tried and tested clothing pieces, patterns, colors, combinations, and textures. It will help you understand the changing trends of fashion better while making the most attractive clothing choices for yourself.
Rule #5 – Mind Your Footwear
A man has to be always conscious about the shoes he wears. Make this a golden rule of your life.
Whenever you go out, in your office, or to a party, the first thing that impacts your colleagues and friends is the footwear you wear. Moreover, people think of shoes as a measuring scale for your net worth while assuming your social status.
So, it is always a good idea to invest in a pair of quality leather shoes, provided they are comfortable and more durable than any other kind of shoes. Besides, leather shoes can go with any outfit you choose to wear – you can wear them to a casual gathering as well as on an official occasion.
Besides, it’s not always about looking sharp. These shoes exuberate authority and detail and how carefully you want to present yourself in front of others. While not giving anyone the reasons to judge you or your style.
Rule #6 – Wear Your Confidence
Finally, the most important thing you need to make your style statement is never to forget wearing your confidence. The whole idea of style depends on the way you perceive yourself.
Your self-confidence not only helps you engage with the lovely women around you, but it also gives you more reasons to be satisfied with yourself, which you can use to win the hearts of anyone who comes in your touch.
Moreover, if you are in sync with your inner self, it will send off a strong vibe through the style you have been wearing.
So how can you achieve the gigantic task, and from where you even have to begin? Start by learning someone you hold in high regard, know how they see the world, and carry themselves around others.
Apart from that, master the art of loving yourself. It will help you to deal with any problem you may face in your life.
