If you are interested in fashion and still have not figured out a way to understand and follow men’s fashion then you should probably pay more attention in general. Men’s fashion can be tricky to fathom as the basics hardly ever change unlike women’s fashion. What changes are the colors, fabrics and cuts. But the basics of men’s fashion are quite steadfast.
Look into magazines that advertise men’s fashion. Follow fashion shows on TV to find out about the latest trends. Observe your male friends, especially those who don’t dress well. You can learn more about men’s fashion from the mistakes made by other men when indulging in it.
Here are some integral parts of a man’s wardrobe that will make things simpler for you to understand men’s fashion:
Suits
Suits have been part of men’s fashion since time immemorial. Even when fashion in general was being experimental back in the 60’s and the 70’s the classic dinner suit with a tie or a bow tie and well fitted bottoms were popular among men.
While buying suits one needs to be sure of two main things:
•What is the suit for?
•How many suits does he already possess?
Suits are not only for formal occasions. They can be used as daily wear in the office for those who prefer to dress it up. Especially when one’s life revolves around attending meetings and socializing with the crème de la crème of the corporate world it is doubly important to be well dressed.
However, it is important to differentiate the colors and accessories (if any) when it comes to suits for different occasions. For office wear one does not require a tie pin or a chest pocket handkerchief. But for a wedding reception in the evening at the Ritz you may need to dress it up a little. The colors of the day and the night are totally different. It is never a good idea to turn out in light colors at formal dinners. Dark colors with crisp shirts can never go wrong.
Dress Shirts
If you don’t want to wear the full fledged three piece tuxedo for the dinner or you don’t have your favorite suit ready for the meeting regarding your promotion then you need to compensate your outfit somehow to make it look less trivial. Dress shirts are ideal for such occasions. Although most people consider dress shirts as tacky, ill fitted and monotonously designed, if you look carefully at the motifs and colors you will find a wide variety of the garment to choose from. A well chosen dress shirt can make the shabbiest of jeans look cool and compliment the outfit greatly.
Since dress shirts are so popular you will always find one in your size. Choose the fabric and colors carefully as there are quite a few that may make you look like a peacock!
Buy different styles of dress shirts to add variety to your wardrobe. Experiment with the collar, the sleeves’ length or the cuffs to make your outfit interesting.
