The saying, “Looking good is not just
a good business but it brings good business”, is a fashion statement that
shouldn’t be overlooked by every man whether fashion conscious or not and it
has nothing to do
with your age because fashion style has to do with your personal style. Our
duty here is to help guide your style to fit the fashion of these days.
Sophistication is the key accessory to fashion statement, so no matter how unfavourable the economy might be, fashion can
never get cold. This doesn’t mean “Thou shalt wear tuxes/suits with
ties/bowties and oxford shoes every single time” in order to pull all the stops
in the name of being “classy”.
Recently, you will notice that classy men pay more attention
to detail in what they wear as fashion creators and leaders has step up fashion
items ranging from collections like all sorts of bold, playful clothes and
accessories with an air of classic items such as leather bags, khakis, oxford
shoes or anything that just gives that little hint of sophistication and
class. Thanks to all of this creative
ideas put in place, it’s now okay to mix casual and formal fashion, and I think
you men should take advantage of it and utilize it to make that bold
appearance.
Everyone knows how difficult it can be to stay abreast of the
latest trends, especially if you lead a busy life. So if you're efficient, you
will have already done most of the dirty work by making sure your most
important fashion pieces never go out of style.
These items are the wardrobe and accessory staples every man
should own; the things so ingrained into our lives that even after one of them
falls apart, we go out and buy another in the very same style.
Here are some Trend-repellant
Staples for Casual Clothing
White shirt: The standard white shirt can be an
invaluable clothing item in both casual and professional settings; the key is
that it's subtle enough to withstand fashion trends. Its ideal for both suits
and jeans of all colors, the white shirt is truly your closet's most valuable
player.
Blue jeans: There probably isn't any modern man
alive that does not own at least one pair of blue jeans. The original blue
jeans can be slightly faded or a dirty denim, and yet they're still so
programmed in our society that we continue to buy them, regardless of trends.
Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to blue jeans and rightly so,
as blue jeans looks good with nearly anything, from a blazer and dress shoes to
a T-shirt and sneakers.
Black loafers: Most people assume these are not the
coolest shoes around; black loafers often get a bad smack. Nevertheless, these
are a certified male wardrobe staple, if only because of black loafers' true
virtue: their simplicity. Free from laces, the loafer is the ultimate in
slip-on, slip-off comfort. And because of their minimalism, they will never go
out of style. Black loafers can rightly go Jeans, suits or anything else you're
comfortable in.
White T-shirt: From thin undershirts to standard
cotton white fitted T-shirts are a wardrobe staple that may never go out of
style, mostly because of their year-round versatility. Provided you avoid
overly large sizes, you can wear your trusty white T-shirt with jeans or shorts
when it's warm, or as an undergarment under sweaters.
Blazer/Sports coat: Every man knows that, like the white
shirt, a good solid-color blazer (preferably black) can be used in numerous
situations and can often make shabby-looking ensembles respectable. Obviously,
the simpler the sports jacket, the more likely its timelessness. Blazer can be
worn at the office with a matching pair of suit pants, or in a bar with a pair
of your most reliable blue jeans.
Sunglasses: Every man should have a pair in his
car. When looking for something timeless, avoid big, clunky models, and those
that wrap around. Oval-shaped sunglasses are your best bet especially those
similar to aviator glasses, but smaller; these have been worn for years and
odds are good this fact will not change. Not only useful on the beach and
because of their practicality on sunny days, you can wear them with just about
anything.
Black leather wallet: Knowing how important wallets are to
guys, you should get one that will never go out of style. Stay away from
anything with slogans on it. And remember that nothing works better than a
simple black leather bi-fold wallet, as this is a great mix of traditional
style, minimalism and practicality. You
can wear anything with this wallet as long as you don't leave home without it.
Watch: Not having a watch is like not having
a right hand. Therefore, you need something that will last. Forget digital
watches or those with flashy colors or designs. Round shapes, subtle numbering
and colours (think silver, black or gray), and black leather or steel straps
are stylish enough to look great, but restrained and traditional enough to buck
the trends.
Cologne/After-shave: For most men, cologne and after-shave
application is such a daily routine that a particular scent becomes part of
their identity. For something that won't fall out of fashion, stay away from
strongly scented colognes. A bottle of Giorgio Armani's "Aqua di
Gio", for example, always seems to do the trick. From a bathrobe to a business suit, your cologne should fit you
like a glove.
Black belt: It’s difficult to find a man who does
not own a black belt; it's just one of those staples that all men have. They
are at their best when you don't notice them that much. The key to a classic
belt is to avoid anything that disrupts its slight concealment among clothes,
meaning anything that jumps out, like large ostentatious buckles or shiny,
flashy leather.
Sports bag: For the man who likes to stay in
shape, a versatile gym bag is a necessity. Making sure your bag is strong and
understated in terms of color, style and design is your best bet. If you've chosen well, this should
look good with your professional or casual wear.
Perfume: Remember that the fragrance you
settle on will represent you, so choosing a scent that reflects your
personality is important. Choosing cologne is not a task to take lightly. Much
like choosing the proper suit, cologne must fit you and your lifestyle. When it
comes to knowing how to pick cologne, choose a base scent you feel comfortable
wearing. Almost every cologne designed for men is based on a strong note of
musk, sandalwood or citrus, which provides the foundation for lighter notes of
spice and floral options. Finding the right combination to complement your
lifestyle enhances your presence in the room or group and often makes a better
first impression than any handshake.
So, to learn how to pick cologne that best suits your
lifestyle.
