Most Common Mistakes in Men’s Fashion
Fashion, since initiation, has been a priority of females and not males. Males’ priority has always been money and not the appearance. However, as time has progressed and the world has become more competitive, males have now started focusing on their appearance. However, there still are some errors when we talk about male dressing.
First and the most common mistake in men’s apparel is that they wear clothes that don’t fit. As the clothes have loose fittings, it gives an untidy look to the person’s appearance. Thus, one imperative lesson to remember is that the right fit is the key to transformation of one’s image. Secondly, it’s also common amongst men to wear short sleeve shirt and a tie. Although one may think it’s stylish but in actual it’s not. It’s a dress code used in a fast food restaurant and no one working at managerial level would want to look like a guy working at a restaurant. Thus, it should be avoided as it is also considered as lower class attire.
Thus for all men, it’s better to dress in long sleeve shirts especially when using a tie, as it gives a professional and assured look.
Another common mistake that men usually commit and not pay attention to, is wearing dirty shoes. For men, it’s not a big issue but this is a wrong perception in their minds. Even the cleanliness of shoes delivers indirect messages about one’s image.
Thus, it’s vital for a stylish man to keep his shoes clean and shining. The person should also have diverse styles of shoes even if they are of same color. Another thing to be considered is that often the lengths of pants worn by males are improper. At times, to hide this, chinos or denims both are folded but this doesn’t give a smart look. Thus, it’s better to go to a tailor to get rid of the extra length and to get them hammed. To further add to the elegance of the pants, it’s ideal to have a trivial crease or a break.
Usually men don’t have time to match the colors of their dress with their tie or belt. For this reason, they end with a total diverse color combination of apparel which gives a negative impression of their personality. Ignoring the color match is not good. Thus to be stylish, males have to make sure that they match their socks color with the suit they’ll wear. For instance, when wearing a navy colored suit with black shoes and navy colored socks will be the right choice. In the mentioned scenario, the person has to ensure that he wears a black belt.
The color of the belt should match that of the shoes but this is not enough. The shoes should match the belt in another feature too. That is, if you are wearing shiny shoes the belt should also be shiny. If wearing informal shoes, such as sneakers, the belt worn should be made of thicker material and not match the thin dress belt.
Being fashionable for men is not a problem nowadays. With the above mentioned tips, a person from any class, whether low, middle or high can become stylish without incurring a high cost.
