Accessorizing is an essential part of putting together a polished and sophisticated outfit. It adds that extra touch of elegance and attention to detail that can take your look from average to outstanding with the details in place. When it comes to accessories, there are a few key pieces that every man should have in his wardrobe. These include a tie, a pocket square, and a nice watch.
When it comes to fashion, it's easy to get caught up in trends. But while trendy styles may be popular in the moment, they often don't last beyond a few years. In order to achieve a timeless, sophisticated look, it's important to focus on the basics: proper fit, timeless colors (navy charcoal, greys, white, blues), classic patterns (herringbone, glen plaid, windowpane), and an overall "James Bond-esque" appearance (clean, classy and fitted).
If you're looking to elevate your style game, consider starting with a clean and classic color scheme, think neutrals like grey, white and even light blue or navy. Instead of going too bold and flashy right off the bat. If you are looking to add bold colors, only do so after you have the neutrals in place. Once you have those, aim for one bold color or pattern in your outfit and everything else muted or soft. This approach is similar to interior design - you want to have a single focal point, rather than an overwhelming mix of colors.
When it comes to fashion, it’s essential to always dress up. What do we mean by that? Dressing up doesn’t necessarily mean a suit and tie, it could mean jeans and a cardigan if the event is more casual. But if you are going to a “business professional” dress code event, you should be in a suit and dress shirt at the very least. A business casual event? Dark wash jeans, a dress shirt and a sport jacket or blazer are key. Wearing jeans and a nice sweater may still look nice, but you will stick out like a sore thumb.
The little details in your outfit can make all the difference. From the fit of your clothes to the color of your accessories, every element of your outfit is important. This is especially true when it comes to matching your leathers and metals.
Your clothes can be expertly tailored, the perfect color, and made of the finest materials, but if they are wrinkled and soiled, they won’t look their best. This is why proper care for your clothes is crucial. With the right care, you can ensure that your clothes look great every time you wear them.
When it comes to fashion, especially men's professional clothing, fit is king. No matter how much money you spend on clothes, if they don’t fit properly, you’re not going to look or feel good.
