Men's Fashion Tips: Develop Your
Own Individual Style

Men’s fashion and style interest men more today than ever as they realize that looking good is an asset in every aspect of their lives: business, personal, or social.

The fact is that a well-groomed man will get a second look. Your personality may be great, but first impressions count.

If you are serious about making the right impression, you need to check out men’s fashion and adapt it to your own personalized style.

Get a stylish look you’re comfortable with

Some men feel confident enough to do this for themselves; for those who are less confident an image consultant can be employed to give help and advice.

Fashion and style

In today's world, to stay one step ahead, it's important to look your best. That means developing your own sense of style and this does not simply mean following fashions and trends. There is a big difference between being stylish and just following the latest men’s fashion trends for the sake of them. A fashion victim is someone who wants to follow all the latest men’s fashion trends regardless of whether they suit his body shape, looks, or age.

Looking your best does require a certain amount of effort, but ultimately, your clothes have to fit right and suit your style, image, and personality. Keep in mind, it's not about the clothes you wear — it's about how you wear them.

The most important aspect of developing your own style is remaining true to yourself. Just because something looks great on a model doesn't necessarily mean it's for you! There are enough styles out there so that everyone can be comfortable finding his own.

Be yourself

Wear what you think looks good, not what others believe is trendy.

You should always feel comfortable with what you're wearing, so stick to items that suit your personality and style, while keeping the occasion and setting in mind. David Beckham may be able to get away with wearing a sarong but this probably is not the best look for you! The key to men’s fashion is always to match it to your personality, age, and personal features.

Don’t overdo it

Don’t try and make so much of an effort to look fashionable that you end up overdoing it.

By all means buy fashionable pieces if they suit you. Mix and match them with the basics in your wardrobe. But you don't have to wear every single trendy item you own all at once.

Maintain balance

As a rule of thumb, not more than half of your wardrobe should consist of trendy clothes, or worse, clothes that are out of style.

Don't be a slave to the media and brands

Don't base your look solely on what you see in magazines and on TV. Celebrities and models often overdo trends for attention and media exposure, and their look will not necessarily work well in the real world or for you.

Finally, don’t be influenced by brand names. Just because a brand has a great reputation doesn’t mean it will look good on you.
