- Look sharp!
Do you enjoy wearing baggy pants and loose shirts? We know they’re comfortable, but they don’t make for a good fashion statement. Keep these clothes for home, so you can lounge and relax in them. As for public appearance, keep your outfit sharp by wearing clothes that fit! It should be your primary concern in the fashion pyramid before fabric, function or style of clothes.
When purchasing clothes, remember this rule of thumb – if it doesn’t fit or can’t be modified to fit, let it go! It’s not meant for you.

Is your wardrobe filled with clothes that neither make you feel good nor match with your other clothing items? Then you need to add some quality items to your wardrobe.
To create a versatile and functional wardrobe, add the following items to your closet:
- Dark, shaded ties – preferably black, blue, and red.
- Dress shirts – a combination of them in white, black, and
- Leatherskinshop shoes and trousers with patterns and colors that complement your dress shirts.
With this wardrobe, you’ll be able to create unique combinations after every few days.
When considering quality, remember one more thing: don’t always go for the cheapest item. Investing in a few expensive but high-quality clothes are better than acquiring tons of cheap clothing items.
- Class up your footwear
Dirty and worn out sneakers are a big NO in fashion! Substitute them for a classic pair of footwear or handmade leather boots, because guys, ladies note these minor details! Plus, they can make your outfit pop out.
Replace your everyday sneakers with a sharp-looking pair of brown and black leather shoes. They will work with your most outfits and give you a clean look. To complement your shoes with casual attire, go with desert boots. They hit just the right spot! They are as comfortable as sneakers and not as fancy as leather shoes.
- Say NO to big pleats
No doubt pleats offer flexibility and comfort, but they also compromise your overall look. If they are too big, they will gather up around your waist and make you appear short. However, if you decide to add pleats to your dress pants, make sure they are small.
- Avoid logos, wild prints, and multi-colored graphics
If you want to look classy and mature, avoid every type of clothing that has large gold-colored logos, safari prints, or multi-colored graphics. Wearing these types of clothes makes you look a tad bit immature. On the contrary, solid colors give off a sober and elegant vibe.

If you’re not comfortable wearing jewelry, go for simple sunglasses, a watch, cuff links, and belts. But make sure to take out time to select the ones that suit your style, are comfortable, and fit you.
