1. Your Body Size
The first thing to take into account is your body type and lifestyle. For example, before choosing suits consider the following:
Your sleeves should be above the wrist If you need to wear a suit, the length of the suit should be about 20-30 centimeters down from your waist region; the suit should look fitted, not bulky when worn.
2. Footwear
Good shoes add value to a man. If you’ve never had very good shoes before, the time has come for you to have a pair in your closet. It is important you wear comfortable shoes because the key to a good outfit relies partly on the shoe you wear. When considering shoes, please note that leather shoes are more malleable, while pleather is more restrictive.
3. Age Constraints
As a man, it is pertinent to recognize that age plays an important role in your fashion style. For example, T-shirts are generally associated with jeans which are basic for men irrespective of ages. But, as you advance in age it is important to know what to wear to compliment your age. If you are above 39, perhaps it’s time to start wearing dark pants and a blazer to exhibit maturity.
4. Don’t Always Follow The Trend
No, you should not completely ignore fashion trends, but, perhaps consider things that look less trendy. Sometimes men miss out on getting the appropriate combination because of the craze for that trendy piece of clothing which eventually goes out of style. It is better to buy clothes that will not go out of style in the near future. Buying less trendy, yet classic clothes affords you the opportunity to wear them whenever it pleases you.
5. Necessary Accessories
You should not ignore the need to have some few basic accessories that will complete your outfit. Such accessories include: cufflinks, belt, wristwatches, sunglasses, footwear, suspenders, and ties. You need some few basic accessories so you can make an outfit more formal or casual depending on the event. (Perhaps leather shoes, a tie and a dark belt for a more formal event; Just a belt for a causal get-together.)
6. Clothing Hygiene
Taking good care of your clothes is a fundamental basic. Cleanliness as they say is next to Godliness—so the saying goes. Being clean tells a lot about your level of hygiene. Wearing clothes that look faded may look like you either don’t wash your clothes enough or wash them too much. You can take good care of your clothes by washing them according to the washing instructions on the tag, and ironing them at the appropriate heat as directed by the manufacturer. This will save you the need for regularly shopping for new clothes in your closet.
7. The Right Color
Color actually tells a lot as it portray various meanings. As a man you should be conscious of the color when buying cloths. Darker colors shades tend to be more classic. Vibrants colors like red, yellow, and orange may be more trendy (however this also depends on the cut). It is good to wear clothes in neutral tones, such as black, brown, gray etc. so you can have more matching options.
