A Brief Guide for Men Who Want to Upgrade Their Style

Have you found yourself in a bit of a style rut that you want to break out of? Or do you want to completely change your identity by changing your appearance? It’s never too late to switch up your look and create the persona you wish to show off to the world. 

By making a few subtle changes to your look, you’re bound to feel more confident in yourself. It’s surprising how our everyday style choices can impact our mood and attitudes. 

In need of some inspiration? Here’s a brief guide on how to update your personal style.

1. Choose tailored pieces 

Gone are the days when oversized clothing was very much on-trend – nowadays, there seems to be a heavy focus on smart, tailored pieces. Dressing with an air of sophistication, will not only make you feel good, but is sure to make a positive impact on those you meet, whether personally or professionally. 

You don’t necessarily have to go out and purchase brand-new pieces to achieve a more tailored appearance. You may already own existing garments that can be altered by a professional tailor. As with any alteration process, communication is key. Provide your exact measurements and explain how you’d like the garment to fit.

2. Don’t underestimate accessories

You may not be too picky about the clothes you wear – let alone thinking deeply about the type of accessories to add to your outfit. However, key accessories such as a watch, a tie bar, or a titanium ring from Newman Bands, can polish off an outfit with an air of elegance. 

If you’re looking to upgrade your style for professional reasons, it is worth knowing that many employers notice the attention to detail in an outfit when it is finished off with stylish accessories. Why? Because it shows that you’re a stickler for detail which is a sought-after trait in any candidate. 

3. Opt for essential staples 

When it comes to a change of style, having a closet clear out, will ensure you get rid of items of clothing you no longer want to wear, so that you can make room for new pieces. To start with, it would be best to shop for essential staples such as well-cut jeans, classic shirts, polo shirts, and blazers that you’ll be wearing regularly.

When it comes to choosing core pieces, it’s important that they’re durable, comfortable, and can be worn across the seasons. Take time to research various brands, to discover the designs and styles that you prefer. 

4. Add a pop of color

Those with little confidence in their style, very rarely play around with color. If you’re not used to wearing bold pieces, you may steer clear of patterns and bright tones altogether. However, color not only expresses your personality, but allows you to stand out from the crowd when you’re keen to make a statement. You could start off slow, by adding vibrant elements to your look against neutral tones, until you build a more versatile relationship with color.
