Whoever said that men don't care about fashion was wrong. Some men might not be as passionate as women are, but they still care about their appearance. Below I have listed a few tips to help the men out on ways to be a fashion forward person.
1.Always be yourself. Wear what you think looks nice, not what others believe is trendy. You should always feel comfortable with what you're wearing, so stick to items that suit your personality and regular style, while keeping the occasion and setting in mind. Just because something is headlined as the latest in men's fashion, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the fashion for you. The same goes for flashy colors: if you're not comfortable wearing fuchsia, then don't.
2.Less is more. Always think to yourself "I won't overdo it"; you don't have to wear every single trendy item you own all at once. Buy one or two trendy pieces every season and mix and match them with the basics in your wardrobe. It's a cost-effective, safe way to look your best every day. But, always remember that what's trendy is not always right for you.
3.Maintain balance. Keep a good balance of basic and trendy clothing in your wardrobe. In other words, half your wardrobe should not consist of trendy clothes, or worse, clothes that are out of style.
4.Don't be a sucker for brand names. Another good tip is to avoid referring to your clothes by their designer labels (i.e. "my Boss belt" or "my Diesel Jeans"). By dissociating the item from its manufacturer, you will condition yourself to look at the item itself rather than be swayed by men's fashion brand names.
5.Don't be a slave to the media. Don't base your look solely on what you see in magazines and on TV. Celebrities and models often overdo trends for attention, and their flashy attire will likely not translate well for you, in the real world.
Before you decide to purchase a new item, ask yourself if you are buying it because it's "in style" or because you genuinely like it. In addition, when it comes to men's fashion and designer goods, ask yourself if you would buy the garment if it didn't have the designer logo on the front pocket. In the end, if you don't really like it, you probably won't be comfortable wearing it and are therefore better off not buying it.
