Today, I will share style secrets super stylish guys know that you should know too.
- Tank top + double-breasted suit. Many super stylish guys wear suits with a simple white or black tank top underneath. The tank top has a lower collar depth, but the overlapping closure elevates the look.
- Tailor pants. Taper your pants.
- Wear simple black loafers with the suit.
- Unbutton the bottom button. If your buttonholes are functioning, unbutton the bottom button to let everyone know you have a higher-quality suit.
- Tailor everything from the jacket to the pants. This step separates stylish guys from sloppy, average guys. Average guys will get their pants hemmed, while stylish guys spend some extra money to ensure everything fits.
- Opt for the side adjuster tabs. If pants are custom-made, choose this instead of belt loops. Sided adjuster tabs are very clean and have a minimal aesthetic.
- Wear a belt if you have pant loops. If your pants are not super tailored and slide, wear a belt. A belt finishes and coordinates the look if you have loops, but not all belts are created equal.
- Do not wear beat-up belts or belts with many holes. Opt for an Anson belt with a track system, where the belt and buckles are interchangeable.
- See a half-inch of cuff when your arms are down to your sides. If you cannot, your jacket needs to be altered.
- Cufflinks elevate the aesthetic. Cufflinks are a great addition to your wardrobe and set you apart from other men. But don’t overdo it with big and flashy accessories that are loud.
- Less is more. When accessorizing, remember that less is more. Let your clothing and its fit speak for themselves.
- Invest in two signature pieces. Invest in one or two signature pieces, like a nice watch, but not something like an Apple Watch. Also, don’t wear a bunch of accessories. Strategically pick higher-quality accessories to elevate your aesthetic. You don’t want to wear a tie bar with a tie pin, a pocket square, and a flower lapel. That’s not subtle.
- Unbutton three buttons. If you’re wearing a button-up shirt without a tie, a stylish guy will expose a bit of cleavage. Unbutton three buttons. It’s a subtle drape that looks natural and casual.
- Expose more skin, whether your upper chest, forearm, or ankle. Showing a bit of ankle demonstrates that your pants were tailored, and it’s a nice elevated aesthetic. It will set you apart from slobs who have their pants too long.
- Pants make or break the outfit. Pants should not be puddling or pulling around your ankle. Do not have big and baggy pants.
- Upgrade shoe quality. Make sure they’re stylish and clean, but don’t spend money like you don’t have to. Just stretch to the highest-quality shoe you can afford.
- Turtleneck under the double-breasted suit. In the winter, wear a lightweight merino wool turtleneck to elevate this suit. It’s an incredible option for layering under a single or double-breasted suit. It sets you apart, and you’ll get a lot of compliments.
- Fit is better than brand.
- Texture is better than big and loud patterns.
- Texture is better than flashy brands and big logos.
- Layer textures. Layering textures allows you to contrast and complement, setting you apart.
- Choose monochromatic outfits. Wear a monochromatic outfit, whether off-white, black, charcoal, or medium blue, to set yourself apart. It’s a silent flex.
- Choose higher-quality fabrics and leathers. These luxurious, high-end constructions are silent flex. People who know notice, but people who don’t just think you look good.
- Seasonal fabrics. Stylish guys understand they have different wardrobes throughout the year. Various items are worn for different seasons and months. Winters feature more flannel and heavier wool, whereas springtime and summer months will feature lighter fabrics such as knits.
- Know your uniform. Super stylish men know what works for their body and skin tone. They don’t go crazy outside the box but stay within what works for them. They know what colors complement them, understand what fits them, and identify what brands work best. They may take an occasional style risk and upgrade, but they always look amazingly effortless and elegant.
- Confidence is part of the equation. Feel comfortable and confident in what you wear, and love what you look like. Go through your wardrobe and purge. Shop and buy items you can afford to build a new wardrobe. A wardrobe is not built in a day, however. Invest in stylish, quality, classic pieces that will work for years into the future.
