Apart from clothes, your accessories tend to draw a lot of attention. Keep them to a minimum but invest in statement pieces, like watches. Watches show your personal style. You can go for a formal or sporty watch depending on your look and need.
- Get the right jeans
A one style fits all policy cannot work for denim. These are really personal pieces and you must check what shape and style suits you the most. The ‘slim-tapered’ style is popular, as it is comfortable and can be paired with smart shoes or sneakers.
- Experiment with color
Men’s clothing is no longer restricted to grey, black, brown and navy. Try and spruce up your wardrobe with some solid colors that will give brightness to your look and still be elegant. For example, Burberry clothing for men, has a wide variety of colors and designs to choose from.
- Invest in shoes
Just like accessories, shoes are an important purchase. Choose the right styles, a good fit and durable pairs that will complete your ensemble and last long.
- Follow dress codes
An important part of good dressing includes knowing what to wear where and dressing for the occasion. So, follow dress codes to avoid being over or under dressed. It also shows respect for the person, place, and event you attend.
