Dress Sense With Style: For Men by dannydammy(m): 11:02am On May 10, 2016
DRESS SENSE FOR MEN WITH STYLE
Some guys are naturally stylish while some see it as girlish to be caught in the boutique shopping. Some are limited by budget, but a simple guide on what to purchase, where and how is necessary. It is better to invest in essential wardrobe pieces that will carry you through; that is office wear, events, dinner functions and casual outings.
A good dressing sense can do wonders with the right kind of fashion, cut and color. One also should be particular about the comfort level despite the fashion, adding confidence which corroborates to a high self image. Basically that is what this article is about. And need I say that you don’t have to worry about spending too much to look up to date and at the same time trendy too. Let’s start with the aspect of clothes first;

Men's Clothes

1. Suits:

When purchasing a suit, go all out for navy or dark colored suit- because it serves dual purposes- in the sense that, it is appropriate for day time activities like work and occasions. In most business settings, the classic professional look for a man is a navy blue or medium-grey wool or wool blend suit, a white stiff-collared dress shirt, and a simple patterned or striped tie. This would serve a man well at any formal setting.
A more high-styled version of this would be a blue shirt, a brighter, more distinctive tie or matching pocket handkerchief. The navy colored suit has slimming and flattering effect on practically any body shape. The suit can be worn over a pair of jeans with a white dress shirt, or any other item in your wardrobe. With the suit you are well covered whether for an interview, an evening or cocktail party.

2. A Dress Shirt:

A dress shirt is a must have for every guy’s ward robe. Dress shirts should be cotton or cotton blend. These materials look more professional than silk or synthetic fabrics, and they breathe better. Collars should be plain, and either button-down, or thick and stiff.
The most professional look consistently has been a mid-length pointed collar. Pick out colors like blue and white, because these colors pair up with practically every item in your wardrobe, a black shirts work well with a lighter colored tie. White shirts offer a wider array of choices, as anything goes with white. Fashionable colors include all shades of brown, slate blues, navy blues, pale blues, black, and pure white. These color choices are easy to work with and very versatile.
A pale brown shirt will look fantastic with a chocolate brown tie. Mix a gray shirt with a slate blue tie and you will look amazing. It is advisable to start with a neutral shades and then add complementary colors later. Each shirt in the wardrobe does not need to be of the same outline, design or color. There should be a little variation.
One should keep in mind that designs are dependent of fabrics. Always wear an undershirt to cover perspiration and transparency. Men's dress shirts should be long-sleeved. French cuffs are considered trendy and formal — if you do wear this type of shirt wear them with simple gold, silver or stone cufflinks. Your shirt should be long enough that at least one, or preferably two buttons fall below the belt line. This will keep the shirt from coming untucked.
Collars should be loose enough to put two fingers comfortably between the collar and your neck, but not so loose that they show any significant space between the collar and your neck when you stand.

3. Casual Wears:

For a smart casual wear, you can’t go wrong with a Polo shirt- It does not have to be a designer piece, so you don’t have to worry about causing a dent in your budget. An inexpensive one will just about create the same effect as long as it sits well on you.
The effect of a polo shirt on jeans is dazzling, when it is just the right size and it fits properly. On weekends the polo shirt is an amazing choice for a causal outing. - For a semi formal outing, a blazer on top the shirt is all you need to create an ensemble that exudes elegance and style.




The next aspect I would like to look in to is the male physique; most men are at a loss when it comes to shopping for their clothes, majorly because of their body size. And this affects the way they dress and their appearance, here are some ideas on how to shop for clothes that fit properly.

Dress Style for Big Men

Due to their big body size, most men opt to dress in baggy clothing thinking they can hide their big frame with loose clothing. The truth is baggy clothing actually makes you look bigger than you probably are.
One of the most important aspects in dressing is the color; it can give you a slimmer look or bigger look depending on the color you chose. Stripes area no go area for you. Dark colors like-black, chocolate brown, charcoal, navy blue, and dark gray-offer a more slimming look. You get to wear fashionable trends while also appearing slimmer. Make sure your suit jacket and shirt are similar in color. Contrasting hues draw attention to the point in which they meet. The point at which the colors meet will create a line that adds the appearance of bulk.
When purchasing a suit jacket (and every man needs at least one jacket), look for two-button suit jackets in dark colors. Once again, the dark colors are more slimming. In addition, a two-button suit creates a streamlined look that makes your waist and stomach look tapered and trim. Do not buy a jacket that is too loose. A loose appearance will add the appearance of weight. You also need to avoid purchasing clothing that fits too snugly. Clothing should fit comfortably with no more than an inch of space at any given point.
Stick to small vertical patterns that make the torso appear longer and slimmer. Always rely on vertical patterns and never horizontal patterns. Stripes that are horizontal add a round look and can make you look a lot heavier than you are. The same applies with buttons and zippers choose small, narrow fasteners.
Any fabric with a bright sheen will make you appear larger than you are. Stick to clothing that has a brushed appearance without any shine.
If you have a chubby, round face, do not purchase turtlenecks. Turtlenecks can make you look heavy in the neck area. Instead, choose shirts with angled v-necks or leave the top couple of buttons on a dress shirt undone so that it creates an angle that makes the neck and face look slim. Sticking to these basic rules can turn a rotund man into someone looking svelte. Just remember vertical lines, dark colors, and similar shades, and you will look great!

Dress Style for Slim Men

Just as the plus size men have serious issues finding a fashionable look that is suitable for them, men who are on the slim side also experience just about the same difficulties. Lean men prefer to look bigger than they actually are without appearing sloppy. The good news, to pull off that kind of appearance, here is what you need to do.
First and foremost, never purchase baggy clothing. You will wind up looking lost in the outfit and that makes you look slimmer than you actually are. You need to choose pants that fit snugly without being tight. Slim, non-tapered pant legs work well. Low-rise pants look great. The snug fit will accentuate your lower half and definitely draw attention. Avoid any jeans with boot cut legs or flared legs as they make you appear to be drowning in your clothing.
Choose single-breasted jackets with small shoulder pads. The shoulder pads will add a muscular look, but make sure the shoulder pads are small. Larger shoulder pads always look ridiculous on a slim person. You want the appearance of muscle, not the appearance of shoulder pads.
You can easily add stripes to their wardrobe. Choose thin stripes and patterns that are close together, either vertical or horizontal. This adds the appearance of bulk, especially if you use horizontal stripes or patterns. Make sure the shirt fits nicely; you want the fabric to cling to your form.
Slim men also have the option of choosing any color that appeals to them. Where larger men need to stick to dark colors, skinny men can mix and match. Adding contrast breaks up an outfit's lines and can add the appearance of weight. Light jackets paired with a darker shirt can add the guise of bulk around the chest and waist. Do not wear sleeveless shirts. Tank tops and sleeveless t-shirts will highlight the fact that you have little to no arm muscle. Stick to well-fitted t-shirts, dress shirts, and long-sleeved t-shirts, especially if you use horizontal stripes or patterns. Make sure the shirt fits nicely; you want the fabric to cling to your form.
Where larger men need to stick to dark colors, slim men can mix and match as well as have the option of choosing any color that appeals to them. Adding contrast breaks up an outfit's lines and can add the appearance of weight. Light jackets paired with a darker shirt can add the guise of bulk around the chest and waist.
Fabrics with sheen can add the appearance of weight. Silks, rayon, and satins can all make you look bulkier than you actually are. Consider adding a couple of shiny shirts to your wardrobe. I am not talking bling-bling shiny, but something moderate with sheen.
Being skinny does not mean you must dress like a stereotypical nerd. Choose fashions that you like and that do not drown your body shape.
