FASHION NO-NO FOR MEN
Although many fashion tips apply equally to both sexes, there are several that are very male-specific. Since it’s true that people’s first impression of us is often based on appearance, then it is necessary to know how to avoid them and improve your personal presentation.
Everyone makes a fashion misstep every now and again, but there are certain mistakes that occur all too frequently and can easily be avoided.
Note that it’s not as if we’re trying to turn you into a nervous wreck when it comes to your wardrobe, it’s just that there are many style disasters that we witness all too often and we need to address them because, quite frankly, sometimes they hurt our eyes.
By following the simple steps suggested here and making minor tweaks to your wardrobe, your whole look will get a subtle improvement.
The first fashion blunder is French cuffs without cuff links. Since it’s not necessary to wear most dress shirts with cuff links, many men seem to be unaware that shirts with French cuffs actually do need to be accompanied by cuff links. Essentially, French cuffs without cuff links are like a Playboy without the centerfold.
If you have a shirt with French cuffs, cuff links are really the icing on the cake and will enhance your appearance by making you seem more presentable and smartly turned out.
As well, since French-cuffed shirts are generally worn on more formal occasions, or at least in a business environment, the purpose of wearing such a shirt is to look polished a feat that is hard to accomplish when your sleeves are flapping about.
For those times when you need to dress like a gentleman or want to make an elegant style statement, French cuffs with some sweet cuff links peeking out from under the sleeve of your blazer are the way to go.
Secondly, Creating your own suit, by this I mean purchasing pants and jackets as separates, and then combining them with little regard for whether the two items can actually be worn together or not is another mistake commonly made by men.
Just because both your jacket and pants are black, does not mean they belong together. Fabric, cut and hue variations all play a huge role in determining whether or not two separately purchased items will complement each other. A wool blazer, for instance, will look terrible and cheap when paired with polyester dress pants and vice versa. If you’re going to wear a suit, please make sure you bought the pieces as a set or you run the risk of seeming looking slightly ridiculous.
The use of too much hair product is another fashion No-No for men. Though others have condemned it before, this crime against fashion is such a frequent and heinous one that it bears repeated mentioning. Using too much of any kind of product in your hair results in gunky hair, and no girl wants to run her hands through a head full of gel.
Think about it: If the situation were reversed, you most certainly wouldn’t want to have stiff, crunchy or gooey locks between your hands. Both sexes prefer soft, touchable hair, so find a way to make your style work without winding up with helmet head.
Obviously, you want others to be impressed with your savvy style, but please for the sake of fashion don’t over-do it.
Even if you’re decked out in head-to-toe designer wear, people will tend to laugh at you if you fail to follow a few crucial fashion rules.
