Ways to instantly become more stylish
Style icon status isn’t something that every gentleman is innately blessed with. Instead, it’s something that he has to work towards and to build up throughout his lifetime.While it might seem intimidating an accomplishment to try and achieve, it’s fairly doable – if you know the right steps to follow.,
SMALL TWEAKS
A rather intelligent person once said something along the lines of ‘one small step, one giant leap’ and while we’re pretty sure he wasn’t referring to style, it’s a good philosophy for what we’re trying to say here. Small tweaks are what are going to make the difference to your style because, if you’re reading this, the likelihood is that you have some kind of an interest in the finer things in life – and style and clothing are included in that. If you’re that guy who fits in rather than stands out, but who wants to stand out, the key is to make small and subtle changes – because these are what are going to get you noticed. Small things like rolling up the leg of your trouser, choosing the right pair of shoes or investing in some incredible accessories are going to make more of a difference than overhauling your entire wardrobe – that will just look out of place and strange.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
What you don’t want is to totally change your personal style; after all, that’s what makes it personal. What you do want is to create something that’s going to be entirely associated with you; that people are going to start to expect from you. Accessories are the perfect way of achieving this: if you start wearing a fedora on a weekly (or even daily) basis, it’s going to become part of your charm and something that people immediately start to pair you with. That’s the art of personal style.
INVESTMENT IS KEY
We understand that it’s important to everyone to save a pretty penny in this day and age but you’re a gentleman and if you’re serious about style and your bid to achieve style icon status, you need to understand the importance of investment. We’ll cut to the chase; cheap clothes look cheap and you need to buy a decent, well made clothes if you want to look fantastic. Coats are a prime example; a beautifully made coat is going to look so much more impressive than one you picked up from Zara.
BE YOUR OWN MAN
The trouble with so many gentlemen is that they all look the same; so many are afraid to break the mould when it comes to fashion and style and to us, it’s a genuine shame. You’ll instantly be cut above the rest the moment that you decide to step away from the crowd and adopt your own personal style. If you’ve seen someone incredibly stylish wearing something that you think you can rock; wear it too – just don’t emulate his entire look item for item. Don’t be afraid to step away from the crowd and experiment with your look: it’s the perfect way to instantly more stylish.
CONFIDENCE IS KEY
There is absolutely no need to feel shy when it comes to style and to the clothes that you put on your back. We live in a society today where it is so accepted and so common to experiment with your look but it’s also something that so many people – men in particular – are so scared to do. You need to be confident; you need to trust that what you’re wearing does look great and that you can get away with it. Confidence is key, gentlemen, and the sooner you realise it we can guarantee that you’re going to become instantly more stylish.These are our top five picks that we guarantee we make you more stylish in an instant.
