So what does the well-groomed man look like?

A well-groomed Man is the man that carries himself with dignity. He should be able to keep basic hygiene like do his nails, wear ironed clothes, cut his hair, dress sensibly and according to occasion He should be able to at least buy deodorant to smell good.

I don't necessarily judge people by how they look, I have met awesomely dressed guys with the best of suits and they have got the most terrible attitude. You should have a sense of character; your charisma should speak. But then a well-groomed man should ultimately be neat. Most guys believe they can wear a singlet or undies for fifteen months without changing it and it is terrible. Essentially, look good and don't look like yesterday.

Looks alone can be a misleading criterion to use in identifying a well-groomed Man. Like they say, looks can be deceiving. A well-groomed Man can be identified by his actions and selfless service to those he loves and cherishes.
Willing to take responsibilities, not full of pride and ready to accept changes in life. Character is part of grooming.

A well-groomed man should be focused, organized, neat, presentable, good mannered and well cultured. Dress well not necessarily expensive (knowing what to wear & when). Clean nails & avoid unnecessary long nails. Take care of your hair. Keep it nice, trimmed and tidy. Smell nice always (Mouth or Body odour is a capital NO). Clean inner wears are a must.

Grooming is not just about things like keeping a well trimmed facial hair. It’s a part of it, a well-groomed man is someone with neat, tidy and pleasing appearance. A pleasing appearance has a way of boosting confidence. I grew up understanding that your appearance affects your thought process. Being well groomed leads to a bolstered sense of self-esteem which affects how others sees you.
If you feel unkempt, this will impact negatively on how people perceive you. How you carry yourself in the right posture also says a lot.

My view in terms of the appearance of a well-groomed man, is that it’s all about three major ingredients: simplicity, comfort and confidence. I tie ‘simplicity’ to the physical aspects of grooming; ‘comfort’ to the clothing aspects of grooming; and ‘confidence’ to the activity aspects of grooming. In terms of clothing-grooming, ‘comfort’ is key. In terms of activity-grooming, ‘confidence’ is key because regardless of how simple and comfortable he looks, it is the manner in which he carries himself when talking or doing something that matters.

Good personal grooming communicates that you care about yourself and you have healthy self-esteem. The well-groomed man should smell good: When you smell good, people notice. It influences how they feel about you. It makes them want to get closer to you. Look after your smile: Keep your teeth neat and your breath fresh. Take care of your facial hair. Have beautiful hands and feet: Clip your nails weekly. Avoid heel cracks. Exercise every day or every other day, it keeps you fit and healthy looking. With these you can get out there looking well-groomed and handsome.

A well-groomed man, should look appropriately dressed as per occasion demands, knowing when to wear what. Where to where what. He grooms himself by taking care of his physical, mental, and spiritual life.

Over the years a man’s grooming routine has evolved and it is no longer just a simple shower. There is now beard care, skin care, picking the right deodorant, shaving, manicure and pedicure for men etc. For a typical man, self-grooming is usually the most affected when making a trip. Why? Because it’s a multi-faceted process that involves various actions, tools, and products. That is why it’s very likely that you’ll forget to do or carry something. So, before you leave on that trip, check your grooming essentials. You don’t want to go to foreign lands looking funny.
