When it comes to looking good, having some solid fashion tips is crucial. Looking good takes more than just a great haircut but unfortunately, fashion sense isn’t bestowed upon all of us. For some, cutting about like a walking, talking wardrobe malfunction definitely comes more naturally. As we have all of our Chap’s street cred to think of, we have put together a little list of 5 top men’s fashion tips. This should help our more aesthetically challenged friends stay on the right side of the catwalk.
Men’s Fashion Tips
Quality Over Quantity
These days, getting your hands on everything you ever dreamed of for your wardrobe is as simple as clicking a ‘buy now’. This round the clock access makes retail therapy something you can achieve whilst led in bed. We’re here to tell you to stop it.
Having several colours of the same t shirt, just in case you struggle to get an outfit together will do you no favours. Cut down on the bulk buys and concentrate on finding decent clothing, that already has a plan.
Quality clothing will last infinitely longer than cheap run of the mill goods. In the long run, it’s better for your wallet and the environment. This principle was perfectly summed up by author, Sir Terry Pratchett in his Boots Theory of socioeconomics.
Shop in Person
Where possible, you should always shop for clothes in person. Whilst the age online shopping means your most desired items are just a click away, nothing guarantees a fit like trying it on.
This is especially important for formal wear. If you need a suit, you need it to fit. There’s little point to buying a suit that doesn’t fit. The perfection of a suit requires a perfect fit, for each piece. You don’t need to attend a function or event looking like you grew a few inches or stole your get up from your father’s wardrobe.
Know About Contrasts and Colour
There’s more to contrast and colour than your clothes. Your skin tone and eye colour can both play a large part in what looks smart!
Summing this up in a short paragraph or two can be a little difficult. What we present instead, is an article that will explain high, medium and low contrast, and what goes best with each.

Check the Sizes of Your Favourite Clothes
You know when you pull on a pair of jeans and think “these are the best fitting jeans I’ve ever put on”. It’s great, isn’t it?
Well, what if I told you there’s a way to have that feeling every time you buy a pair of jeans. It’s fairly simple, check the sizes. Now, this can vary from brand to brand and is another reason to shop in person. If you stick to a brand though, be sure to take note before you go buying more.
Pro-tip – before you go shopping, make a note of all your favourite clothing’s sizes for reference.
Find a Scent to be Identified by
Long before we could see, we could smell. The tiniest of single celled organisms had to run in a direction, otherwise evolution would’ve been stuck in the mud. Therefore, smelling good is almost as important as looking good.
It’s fairly easy to find testers for aftershaves, so you should set about trying to find one that suits you, one that you enjoy, as well as others. If you stick to the more obscure paths, you can find a fragrance that’s much less common and therefore defined by you.
