When trying to figure out how to dress well, men often look towards the fashion world for help. They look to see what\u2019s trendy.<\/p>\n
But the fashion world is only good for men obsessed with fashion. If you\u2019re just a regular guy looking to become a better dresser, knowing what\u2019s trendy won\u2019t help you.<\/p>\n
In fact, you should do the opposite\u2026<\/p>\n
Focus on getting classic clothes that will look good all year round. Focus on timeless pieces that will still be stylish ten years from now. Focus on looking classy and stylish before you worry about looking trendy.<\/p>\n
Trendy done wrong often turns out tacky, after all.<\/p>\n
So work on your style sense with timeless wardrobe essentials that never go out of fashion. Focus on mastering the basics of men\u2019s style, and you\u2019ll be a better dresser before you know it.<\/p>\n

2. Stop trying too hard, keep it simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n Many guys shoot themselves in the foot by trying too hard to dress better.<\/p>\n It results in them looking like jackasses.<\/p>\n They hear they should wear accessories, and they end up wearing a gazillion bracelets and necklaces. Or they hear they should wear color and they end up looking like a bag of skittles with legs.<\/p>\n Of course, I only know that because I\u2019ve been one of those guys (and it wasn\u2019t pretty). You stand out, but not in the way you want.<\/p>\n Shoot for subtle, simple, understated outfits and you\u2019ll stand out in a good way instead.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Stop dressing like a boy, dress like a grown-up.<\/strong><\/p>\n Many men approach their casual style from the wrong angle; they aim to look youthful.<\/p>\n But if you want to look well-dressed, you should always aim to look mature.<\/p>\n Because maturity is an attractive quality in men. Maturity, after all, is what separates the men from the boys. Maturity shows masculinity and commands respect, and it\u2019s a quality you want people to see in you.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean you have to dress like your dad. It doesn\u2019t mean you have to dress old. It just means you have to avoid portraying yourself as a teenager\u2026 Unless you actually are a teenager.<\/p>\n You want to dress like a grown up. Everything overly flashy simply become inappropriate past certain age. Funny or cartoony tees are a definite no-go. Wearing a funny tee is basically like being the guy that makes the same joke over and over and over. It might be funny the first time you see the t-shirt, but T gets old fast. Also, avoid anything with slogans.<\/p>\n You want to avoid looking like someone who hasn\u2019t grown up yet \u2014 someone who\u2019s stuck in his past. You want to stop looking like a boy, and dress like a man.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Give up the graphic Tees for a more mature look.<\/strong><\/p>\n The first thing you should do to shed your boyish look is giving up your graphic Tees.<\/p>\n I know you love them. I once did too. In fact, I wore them non-stop. But you want to stop wearing them. You have so many better options.<\/p>\n Despite popular belief, they don\u2019t make you look funny, edgy or original. In fact, because every other guy is sporting a graphic Tee too, you\u2019ll just blend into the crowd. Plus, people associate them with guys who refuse to grow up.<\/p>\n Just look at the movies. You\u2019ll never see a tough, masculine action hero or a suave rom-com heartthrob wearing a graphic tee. The only time you\u2019ll see a graphic Tee is when the character is either a man-child, an actual child, or a slacker. You don\u2019t want people to see you as a man-child, do you? Then be a man, and stop wearing graphic tees.<\/p>\n Instead, opt for solid, one-color T-shirts, striped tees or henleys.<\/p>\n You might also consider wearing polo shirts or casual shirts. Just because you\u2019re dressing casual doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t wear a collar. And a simple white shirt looks great with a pair of dark blue jeans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. Rock jeans that actually make you look good.<\/strong><\/p>\n The go-to casual legwear for any guy is a pair of jeans.<\/p>\n And nothing is wrong with that. Many men come to my site looking to move on from the T-shirt and jeans look. But jeans can look amazing, as long as you\u00b4re wearing the right pair.<\/p>\n Avoid baggy jeans. You want to avoid having to pull up your jeans every two seconds. They should keep themselves up without a belt. Also, they should not pool around your ankles.<\/p>\n Also, avoid embellishments. That means: No excessive distressing, no ripping, and no bleaching.<\/p>\n And, this should go without saying, but I have to say it anyway: Avoid big logos on your ass. In fact, no big logos anywhere on your outfit, PERIOD.<\/p>\n Instead, keep your jeans simple. Go for a straight, clean, dark-blue pair that fits like it was made for you. Trust me; you\u2019ll look awesome. They\u2019ll not only look better, but they\u2019re more versatile.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. Change it up down below.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jeans are great, but they all look kinda the same, and they\u2019re not your ONLY option for legwear.<\/p>\n Add some variety to your wardrobe by investing in a pair of chinos. Adding one pair of chinos to your wardrobe doubles the amount of outfits you can create. Add one more, and you triple that number.<\/p>\n I suggest one basic pair in camel or grey. And get one colored pair to change things up. (Wearing color below the waist is something few men do, so it stands out.) And you don\u2019t have to go for fire-engine red or lime green. You can go for subdued colors like burgundy or army-green.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. Class up your footwear (because the ladies notice).<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, you may want to sit down for this. Your dirty, beat-up sneakers will ruin an otherwise excellent outfit. You\u2019ll want to replace them with something more dignified.<\/p>\n And don\u2019t think people don\u2019t notice your shoes. They notice. Especially women. I can\u2019t tell you how many compliments I get on my shoes from women, and I\u2019m hardly shilling out hundreds of dollar for a single pair, as some guys recommend.<\/p>\n Wear a pair of brown leather shoes instead of your everyday sneakers, and BOOM\u2026 You look sharper. But if you\u2019re used to wearing sneakers al the time and want to ease your way into something else, let me introduce you to the desert boot.<\/p>\n Desert boots look much nicer than sneakers, but aren\u2019t as dressy as some other leather shoes. They\u2019re right in-between, which makes them perfect for casual wear. Plus, they\u2019re super comfortable.<\/p>\n Get yourself a pair and you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. Decorate your wrists (because a naked wrist is boring).<\/strong><\/p>\n Accessories are another good way to spruce up a dull outfit.<\/p>\n And I suggest you get in the habit of wearing a wrist-accessory first. Why the wrist? Because naked wrists are boring.<\/p>\n You can wear a watch, a leather bracelet, or both. Doesn\u2019t matter what you wear, but wear something on there. It just gives your outfit a bit more personality. You\u2019re saying, \u201cI don\u2019t have to wear this, but I like wearing it.\u201d<\/p>\n You go from someone who clothes himself to stay warm to someone who clothes himself with intention.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9. Layer your clothes for more interesting outfits.<\/strong><\/p>\n Want to know an easy way to make a dull outfit more interesting? Add a layer.<\/p>\n Many guys feel a bit intimidated by layering because they don\u2019t really know how to match clothes all that well. But you don\u2019t have to know all that much about it. It can be done with very simple clothes too.<\/p>\n Imagine a guy wearing a plain grey sweater and jeans. Nothing wrong with that. It\u2019s a fine casual outfit.<\/p>\n But still, it\u2019s not that interesting. Now imagine him wearing a simple white shirt underneath his sweater. Boom. Instantly more interesting. It\u2019s a simple fix, and hardly earth-shattering, but it just gives that bit more detail to the outfit that makes it more visually appealing. And you don\u2019t have to stop at one additional layer. You can wear two, three, even four layer at a time. So play around!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10. Wear a jacket that elevates your casual look.<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, so you don\u2019t have to suit up to dress well, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t smarten your casual look up a bit with a well-fitting blazer.<\/p>\n This favorite of business-casual men can easily be worn in casual outfits too. It\u2019s called smart casual \u2014 which essentially means stepping your casual outfit up a notch. A man in a blazer just looks good because blazers accentuate the male frame like no other garment.<\/p>\n It will give you an easy way to smarten even your simplest outfits up a bit. Plain white tee with jeans? Add a blazer, and suddenly you look pretty damn sharp.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You just got 10 casual style tips that should help you dress better.
