Women rule the fashion world, because of the added pressure to always look attractive. However, in the 21st century, men are catching up with the fashion trend. Gone are the days when women dont mind getting it on with a large, brawny, dirty man. These days, women like their men to look clean, polished, cultured and sophisticated. They want the dashing and debonair men, with the likes of Cary Grant, George Clooney and Gossip Girls Ed Westwick.
Men do not have to have the right looks or the right body in order to look like these guys. But what they do need is the right fashion sense. A man must be fashionable and at the same time comfortable in the clothes he is wearing. He also must be able to exude confidence and project a positive self-image of himself. The right fashion dressing can do wonders to a mans sense of style. One rule of thumb is to avoid monotonous colors. Shirts, pants and ties do not always have to be in the same hue or color. A little variation never hurts, and the trick is to learn how to mix, match and combine colors, patterns and styles. Not only that, but men can also experiment with different fabrics and tiny details in shirts, pants and ties such as buttons, stitching, cut and placement of pockets and collars, among others. Imagine how many different hundred styles are possible out of such choices! In fact, men can do many things in coming up with interesting outfits and wardrobe for every occasion.
To look smart, men must pay attention to the tailoring and the fit of the shirt, suit and pants. There is no need to purchase expensive brand like Hugo Boss. Its all about having the grace, poise and confidence to wear any shirt, suit and pants with any style. Comfort should be the number one priority when purchasing clothes. To save money, an eye for detail and mixing and matching styles in finding that perfect outfit for the right occasion.
When mixing combos, one rule of thumb is to complement and to contrast. For example, dark and black shirts go well with a light colored tie. To add impact, wear a dark shirt or suit and complement it with a quality necktie in a contrasting color. For instance, a navy blue suit can work with a burgundy red tie. It does not have to be a brand name necktie, but neckties can add an extra oomph to ones personality when its colors, pattern and size tastefully matches the suit and the occasion you are going.About the Author:
