classic style tips for men fashionado

Are you a little confused when it comes to men’s fashion? Do you wish you had more of a natural flair for fashion? Don’t worry! Some people aren’t born with it. In fact, it’s very rare somebody is born with a natural flair for fashion. These classic style tips are perfect for all men. 

Make Sure You Have the Basics

If you have the basics, you’ll be able to build the rest of your wardrobe around that. Make sure you have a good pair of jeans, some t-shirts, a belt, and anything else you think will help to make up your basic wardrobe. You’ll probably need jumpers, a good jacket, and things like that too. Try to make them interchangeable, so you can make multiple outfits from multiple pieces. You can have some statement pieces, but most things need to be interchangeable so you can get the most value from your clothes.

Only Wear Things You Feel Comfortable In

Don’t try to be anything you’re not. It’s imperative that you only wear clothes you feel comfortable in. If you’re not comfortable, it’ll show. Wear clothes you feel say something about you. When shopping, they are usually the things that jump out at you!

Define Your Personal Style

Try to define your personal style to make shopping and dressing much easier. How would you describe yourself/style? Are you quite modern and classy, or grungy? Use about 3 words and then look for clothes and outfits that fit that description.

Find Someone Whose Style You Admire

Find a sort of fashion muse who’s style you admire to take inspiration from. Don’t get me wrong; copying their style completely won’t get you very far. It can help you when putting outfits together and deciding on the kinds of things to buy though!

Keep it Fairly Simple

Don’t overcomplicate your outfits. You don’t need to! Sometimes a simple jeans, t-shirt, belt and trainer combination can be perfect. As long as you like what you’re wearing and you feel comfortable, don’t worry about layering or doing anything complicated. If you want to look unique, you might try something simple like adding a flatcap. You can try more complicated things later on if you want to.

Consider Your Environment

Considering your environment when dressing is essential. Make sure what you’re wearing is suitable for the event. It’s usually better to be overdressed than underdressed, so remember that! If you’re confused, most online stores have online advisors to help you with any queries you have. People instore can be helpful too. I know people who have had whole outfits put together for them and loved them! All you need to do is ask. Don’t be scared - it’s their job!

What do you think of these classic style tips for men? Hopefully they’ve helped you to put some great outfits together and look your best. You can’t go wrong with them. Leave any of your own thoughts and tips below.
