Men and Their Wardrobe Need

Most men always take a sober time to reflect on life and plans but they fail to turn around and look back at their wardrobe. The wardrobe needs of men are often neglected, especially when they assume

they are no longer boys.

 

We've rounded up a few of the most important wardrobe needs of men...

A 3 Piece suit that is well tailored and perfect fits: There are no more excuses anymore. You're an adult now. You need at least one tailored suit or two with perfect fit, preferably black and navy or black and gray.

Really, you should have both by now. What have you been doing all this time?

A nice blazer: A nice blazer will make sure that you don't overwhelm the room with a full suit when the occasion doesn't call for it. But it can also separate you from the crowd a bit.

Wristwatch: Even if you're not a watch guy, you should realize the importance of wearing a watch on some occasions. Drop a few thousands to get a timepiece that you can call your own.

A durable leather belt: Instead of going through belts every year like usual, invest in an expensive one that you can wear for years.

The perfect T-shirt: The perfect T-shirt is not a myth. You just have to find it. Probably get a good tailor, a Nigerian tailor or fashion designer if you are Nigerian base to sew to your measurement.

There is no better feeling than to wear a perfect fit shirt or best fit for any type of clothing. 

Dress to Impress Her

Do you ever go out and feel a bit… underdressed? It’s not that you think you should have worn a suit and tie. It’s just that you think there’s something missing. You want to dress better, you want to impress, whether you’re running errands, making the town or heading out for a first date. The good news is that dressing to impress is probably a lot simpler than you’re making it out to be.

This is how...

Get Groomed...!

It doesn't matter what the occasion is, grooming is important. You should be seeing your barber at least fortnightly. Showers are a must every day. Also keep your facial hair groomed, whether that’s a

close shave or just trimming the mountain man beard before you head out for the night.

Your grooming and personal hygiene are essential parts of your overall image.

A Word on Scent...!

We consider your scent as much a part of your outfit as your pants or shirt. You should pick a scent that’s distinctive, look for good cologne that you think matches your personality and the image that you want to impart on people. Don’t use too much, though.

Suit Up...!

Suit up! Invest in a good, expensive suit, and keep it clean and essentially ready-to-go at all times. Standard black is usually your best bet, for day as well as the evenings.

6 Reasons Why Your Clothing Matters

1. People judge others based on their physical appearance. Think about it, how someone chooses to dress is usually one of the first things you notice about them.

2. Your appearance is one of the most basic things that you can change about yourself. If you look professional, well-dressed, or dressed according to the occasion, you’ll come across as someone who’s well-groomed, is capable of doing a job, professional enough to understand what is necessary for success, and has a good personality as well.

3. In order to leave a lasting impression on someone, you need to dress appropriately and according to the occasion. A good suit, ironed trousers and a shirt, polished shoes and a good watch will go a long way when it comes to making an impression on others.

4. A well-dressed person tends to stand-out. You immediately gain an edge over the others.

5. Your clothing shows that you are prepared, and did your homework.

6. There’s a ‘feel good’ factor associated with dressing well. Dressing professionally can make you feel better about yourself. It gives you more confidence 

Fashion Sense Drives Business Success

Whether you like it or not, your clothing communicates — and it can have a serious effect on your ability to achieve success.

Fair or not, people judge us by the way we look and that includes the way we dress.  Especially in the workplace, clothing significantly influences how others perceive you and how they respond toward you.

Research shows that your appearance strongly influences other people's perception of your financial success, authority, trustworthiness, intelligence, and suitability for hire or promotion.

Here Are Tips To Keep A Sane Fashion Sense.

Don't show too much skin. That means no mini-skirts.

Never wear dirty clothes. This seems obvious  but plenty of people think they can get away with wearing that dirty shirt just one more time before washing it. 

Don't wear wrinkled clothing. Heard of an iron? Use it. 

Wear clothes that fit you well. Tailoring is a simple way to make clothes way more flattering. Tailor your clothes

Wear appropriate shoes and accessories. Don't wear jewelry that is too loud or obnoxious. Wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate for work. 

Wear moderate makeup. If you wear makeup, don't overdo it! 

Looking Good While Dressing Casual

When you’re dressing down, your look can go one of two ways: sloppy or effortlessly stylish. Interestingly, there might be something to dressing down.

Fit. 

Keep your clothes fitted. Pick a smart native casual, top or shirt that fit properly. Even if you’re running out of the house in Dunlop slippers, make sure that whatever you’re wearing is fitted. 

Anything that swallows you up will not only make you look like a mess but it gives the appearance that you walked out of a different decade.

Just say no to wrinkles. 

Don’t ever wear shabby clothes.  Dressing down doesn't mean you should throw on forgotten aged rag, shabby clothes that have seen better days. Dilapidated clothes are never a good look.

Spice it up with an expensive piece. 

You can’t go wrong with a nice watch or an expensive ring to upgrade your outfit. Just find a way to show your audience that you are dressing down on purpose. This is also a way to exude confidence and show a sense of belonging, enough to say that you’re confident and you know what you’re doing.

Tiny Tricks To Change Your Look

It happens to all of us. We wake up one morning and everything seems odd and boring. We are sick of our hair, our wardrobe, and our all-around appearance. It is time for a change, but we aren't sure where to begin or how to start changing or reinventing ourselves without taking obvious measures.

Try These!

Imitate a Famous Person’s Style

Your first step to changing your looks is to decide on whose style you like and choose to imitate it.

Shake up your wardrobe. You're probably going to need to go shopping in order to give your appearance a makeover. But don't fret. Think about versatility when shopping.

Let your shirts do their magic. Shirts and tops are, of course, essential to any look. Tailor your tops to the kind of style that you're looking for. Even if you've got a really low budget, you can make some great changes with only a few new pieces.

Find a good tailor.

Your clothing should attractively fit your body shape, whatever shape that may be. Your clothing should look like they've been hand-made for you and this can only be achieved with a good tailor and a great fashion designer in your life.

A nip here and a tuck there make a world of difference. Something as simple as tucking your shirt, or wearing your smart native wear in a certain way, can have a huge impact on your style. Not everything is about making giant overhauls to your closet; the cuff of a shirt sleeve or the roll of a pant hem can totally transform you in an instant.

Getting on Her Radar With Dressing

Having a crush can be intriguing but frustrating when you feel like they don’t even know you exist! While there’s no secret formula to getting your crush’s attention, there are certain things that you can do to make sure you get on her radar. First and foremost you should put your best possible self out there. Look your best, be active, positive and project confidence.

To Get on Her Radar

Choose a shirt. Make sure to choose a shirt that flatters your body shape. 

Choose a pair of pants. Try something that doesn't make you look too big or small. Never try pants that are too, too tight. 

Choose a pair of shoes. Shoes are a must with style. Have shoes that are comfortable and look great too. Make sure that your shoes are appropriate to your activity.

Dress to Impress

It is a misconception that men can't be stylish. Today there are many different styles for men to wear.  Business casual, formal suit, Ankara prints,native- senator wear, shirts, smart native casual etc. Wearing clothing that is your style, flattering, and fits you well, will give you confidence. Impressing women with the way you dress is about finding your style and putting it together well!

Choose the colors you wear carefully. If you wear the correct colors for your skin tone, you will accentuate your good looks, whereas, wearing the wrong colors will be unflattering. As a rule, bright red, pale pink, teal, and eggplant, look good on all skin types.

Be the best dressed guy in the room. Always consider the context of where you are going when you are dressing, but err on the side of overdressing rather than under dressing.

When you care about how you look it shows, so be proud! Women will appreciate your care and will respect you more for it.

Why Clothes matter: What does your wardrobe say about you?

Your Fashion Style is your perception 

Clothing have not always been as influential a ‘tell’ of our personalities as they are today. We need to acknowledge the relevance of our choice of clothing irrespective of our gender. Whether male or female, our choice of clothing can affect our self-image, confidence, the impression we create of ourselves and in turn, the way people will accept and react towards us. Fashion sense and style can influence everything, from when we wake up from sleep to when we are out for that business deal or job interview.

When we put on an item of clothing it is common for the wearer to adopt the characteristics associated with that garment. A lot of clothing has symbolic meaning for us, whether it’s professional work attire like a suit, shirt etc. Relaxing weekend wear, like casual, jeans, t-shirt. Or a modern native wears (known as traditional wears).like native casual, senator native wear, or tropical. We have the normalcy to prime the brain to behave in ways consistent with the meaning or importance associated with these clothes.

Ultimately, what you wear could discern how confident you feel about yourself. So, I would not be wrong to say that you are what you dress.

Putting on different clothes creates different thoughts and mental processes. You feel very high and in love with yourself when you are dressed in some clothing.  You hardly see someone in suit fight on the road. This is because, it was found that wearing a suit, improves a person’s agility.
Scientists call this phenomenon “enclothed cognition”

If I’m in casual clothes I relax and can do anyhow, but if I dress up for a meeting or a special occasion, it can alter the way I walk and hold myself.”

So the next time you reach for those casual tops, for that suit ask or ferry red dress, ask yourself how will that clothing item make you feel and what is it saying to the world around you today?
