Of course, at least they see people off “according to their minds”, but in modern society they initially meet something “according to their clothes.”
This unspoken rule matters not only for the female, but also for the male world. And in some cases, it is even more important for men to look well-groomed, neat and stylish, as this emphasizes the status, position in society, occupation and even intention.
Successful men carefully monitor their image and try not to make glaring style mistakes that would immediately draw attention to themselves. Indeed, from business conversations, all sorts of little things like dirty shoes or a jacket that is not the right size should not distract.
Here are 10 common mistakes men continue to make when putting together their wardrobe. The recommendations of stylists, of course, are not a panacea, but they can be a good service for a man who wants to look presentable and status.
So what are these errors?
10 White socks with shoes
Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable for a man to match socks to the color of his shoes and vice versa.
Against the background of this misconception, situations often arise when a young man puts on light (and especially white) socks under his shoes.
Even if they are light brown, gray or beige, you should wear black socks, as it is customary to combine white socks exclusively with sports shoes.
By the way, socks are advised to match the tone of trousers, not shoes. At the same time, it is necessary to remember the length of the socks – in no case should they stick out from under the trousers when a man sits down and the trouser leg is lifted up.
You can demonstrate your hairy calves to household members, but not to future partners or work colleagues.
9. Moccasins with socks
Continuing the topic of socks, we cannot but note that not all sports shoes involve wearing them.
For example, lightweight moccasins, which look more like closed sandals or slippers, do not require socks. In general, moccasins are summer shoes, under which wearing socks is at least illogical, uncomfortable and strange.
And yet, most men are still of the opinion that loafers on socks look smarter and neater.
8. Wrong pants length
A man opens the world and solves very important strategic issues, so his attention can sometimes be missed for everyday trifles. Unfortunately, such moments as the wrong length of trousers can literally do a disservice to a man.
It is considered bad form to appear at a business meeting in trousers that open socks even in a standing position. No less strange is the situation when the legs are under the heel of the shoe – was it really not possible to take the product to the studio and hem it?
If you don’t understand the nuances yourself, then ask for help from a seamstress or an employee of an atelier, or maybe immediately to the seller from whom you buy trousers.
7. Wrong tie length
And again we turn to the eye, which can sometimes fail male representatives. In addition to “cropped” pants, some young people also have the wrong length of a tie.
It would seem, why could it be wrong, because you are already purchasing a finished product? For a second, you yourself, tying a tie, adjust its length. It can be a loop in the chest area or a flailing “noose”, which will immediately catch the eye of the interlocutor. Both options look strange and inharmonious.
Use the accepted rule when tying a tie – it should not end in the middle of the chest or extend beyond the belt buckle.
6. Short Sleeve Shirt with Blazer
Fashion is fashion, and good taste does not hurt to have it. Now young people have got into the habit of combining light summer shirts with short sleeves and warm strict jackets.
But after all, fitted lightweight shirts were invented just to deviate a little from the classic style, so it’s not customary to tuck them into formal trousers or put on a jacket on top.
Such products are usually worn with jeans or shorts, and sometimes with chinos, if you plan to vacation in the warm season. The only exception is the uniform, where the appearance of the employee is prescribed by staff decrees.
5. shabby shoes
It’s no secret that a belt, watch and shoes are the most important status attributes of a successful man. They should be expensive or at least of good quality, always well-groomed and tidy.
But many young people live in chaos and forget to pay attention to their shoes before going out. It often has an unpresentable appearance: dusty, worn, worn down and shabby.
Worn or washed out suede looks especially vulgar, and even with salt deposits. No matter how carefully you work out the main image, shabby shoes can nullify all efforts.
4. Wrong choice of bag
It would seem that a bag is far from being the main accessory in a man’s wardrobe, because the latter often get by with large purses, a purse, or even a trouser pocket.
However, if you decide to purchase such a product, then you will need advice on choosing. First, decide what the accessory is for: carrying a laptop to work, folding documents or large stacks of cash, or maybe just carrying all sorts of small things like chewing gum and a phone.
Depending on the need, you can easily find a compact and modern option. No need to stuff crumpled documents into a small purse or pick up an immense bag for a netbook.
Shapeless bean bags are also an unfortunate choice, unless, of course, you plan to wear sports shoes in them. A bag, like shoes and a belt, is also an attribute of status. It is desirable that it keeps its shape well, has a concise and stylish design, and a good finish.
3. Daily wear sports jackets
Of course, sporty style is very comfortable and always fashionable, especially for men. But the modern industry can offer a man a lot of options that will allow him to “get out” of his favorite worn sports jacket for every day. This is a classic short coat, and fitted leather jackets, and laconic warm down jackets.
Always in the wardrobe should be classic outerwear that can be combined with a business suit.
2. Suit jacket and jeans
This fashion broke in many years ago and somehow it was too firmly entrenched. Many young people put on a suit jacket under torn and other fashionable jeans, and sometimes they will also put on a bow tie on a shirt for a greater “break in the patterns”.
Stylists believe that for such an image it is more appropriate to purchase a casual style jacket with a softer silhouette and actual fabric and accessories. But flat-cut suit jackets are not the best choice.
1. Cardigan and suit
We have seen more than once how men put on a cardigan under a classic suit, however, from a fashion point of view, this is not entirely true. It is desirable to combine a cardigan with classic trousers and a jacket, which are not a suit pair. That is, some element must belong to the casual style.
Here are some simple tips for every day for men who want to look neat and stylish in any life situation.
