Dear boys, I can't even express how much more attractive you become when you dress well!
In the words of Hardy Aimes "A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care and then forgotten all about them". So this post is for you! Think of it as helpful encouragement!
I'm going provide you with my pick of no-fuss fashion basics that belong in every guys closet!
Layering is one of the easiest trends you can master this winter! Once you understand proportions and how to choose your pieces, you'll be doing it in your sleep! The first rule is straightforward -the closer to your skin, the thinner material. Start with pieces made from thinner fabrics such as a cotton T-shirt and then layer with heavier items such as a wool sweater, or leather jacket.
Secondly, pick your pieces. Each layer is essentially any item that can be worn on its own, in other words a singlet under a dress shirt doesn't qualify as layering. Go for quality, fresh pieces!
Next, keep it casual! Layering is best for everyday style! Like saturdays & sundays, not formal events! You can however mix relaxed pieces (like a grey hoodie) with more formal pieces (like a tailored jacket!).
Also make sure you feel comfortable, layering shouldn't restrict your arm movement!
Feeling brave? Mix in some colour! Black, brown, and grey are all great winter colours but so are red & navy! Or try adding print! I would make it your second layer -white T first, printed open shirt, followed by a leather jacket!
Lastly, a jacket isn't necessarily required! Try using a denim shirt as your final piece!
Key pieces to your winter look will include:
-Boots with rolled up jeans or trousers
-Tip: Roll up your trousers regardless of your shoes, it'll look cooler!
-Layers: T-shirt + Denim Shirt + Leather Jacket + Coat
-Coloured Socks
-Sweaters over Shirts
-Loafers are making a big comeback (no socks)
- Tennis Shoes
-The rugged look (Roll with a few-days-grown-beard look)
- Cool shades
-Amazing Hair!! Head to the local barber fellas! Shave & Style!
