4 Things Guys Can Do to Improve Their Fashion Style

If you want to improve your look and sense of style and dress better for work or casual occasions, there are several things that you can do to improve the pieces that you put together for outfits and seriously change up your look.

If you are struggling with deciding what to wear and often feel like something might be missing from the outfits that you choose, or the combinations you go for often don’t feel quite right, keep these tips in mind to boost your style and get the look that you want.

Opt for Quality

Sadly, cheap clothing just doesn’t cut it like high-quality does. And one of the best things about investing in good quality fashion pieces is that they are often versatile and last a long time, so you can continue wearing great outfits for even longer. Your wardrobe might be full of clothes, but if they are all cheap and ill-fitting, you’re not going to get the look that you want. Have a clear-out and consider getting some staple pieces from brands like Versace. These pieces of designer men’s clothing can be suitable for every occasion if paired correctly.

Donate Old Clothes

If you’re not feeling your style right now, your wardrobe probably needs a refresh. Maybe you are still walking around in clothing that was in fashion a decade ago but not that hot today. No matter how much you might like a certain piece of clothing, if it’s old, worn, and completely out of style today then you’re never going to feel as good in it as you’d like to. And, clearing out your wardrobe to donate anything you’re not going to wear to charity can be a great feeling.

Choose Versatile Items

When shopping for your new wardrobe, don’t just think about items that you like the look of on their own – consider your other items and outfits, and how they are all going to look together. When buying a new coat, for example, don’t just consider how it’ll look with the outfit that you are wearing right now to try it on, but how it’s going to look when paired with your other favorite outfit combinations.

Improve Your Confidence

Last but not least, a lack of confidence is one of the main things that holds a lot of guys back from dressing the way that they would like to and feeling good about themselves in the clothes that they choose. Taking steps to improve your self-confidence will enable you to choose stylish pieces without second-guessing it and will give you the boldness to just go for the outfits that you want to wear the most. When you are confident in yourself and your sense of style, you’ll find it easier to choose items of clothing that are going to be a perfect fit for you and you know that you are going to enjoy wearing.

If you want to upgrade your style and feel better in the outfits that you choose, keep these fashion tips in mind when upgrading your wardrobe and making new fashion choices.

Why We Do What We Do

As watch-lovers, we believe all watches should have the highest quality and best design. As Danes, we believe in companies that are honest, sustainable, and that put others first. As consumers, we couldn’t find any affordable watch company that embodied all of these things.

So we created it.

Father's Day Style for the Modern Gent

Calling all Dad’s - let’s upgrade your style this Father’s Day! Our friends at Monck Mason Clothiers and I have a few styling tips for you. Don’t worry, they’re easy!

First up and above everything, good style is about good fit. When shopping, buy your size. And even if the garment still feels a little too loose, or the pant or shorts are a little longer than you wish, you can have them tailored. (It’s not expensive!)

Pay attention to detail. Pocket squares, watches, no show socks vs. regular socks. Embrace them all to attain a modern look to your personal style.

Lastly, for now, consider bringing a “wow-factor” to any look with super cool shoes. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, literally, and experiment. You may like the results.

Halving Your Wardrobe Can Leave You Rich In More Ways Than One

When it comes to our most significant monthly expenditures, most of us would say that clothes are right up there. An obsession with stocking our wardrobes is one of those expensive adulting behaviors which we’re all guilty of. As soon as our pay packets hit our bank accounts, many of us head out to stock up on the latest fashions. We convince ourselves that new clothes will help us look and feel better. And, that in turn can increase our opportunities for earning. You could say, then, that this is a must for making money, rather than wasting it. Couldn’t you?

Not at all. In reality, there are a few key reasons to approach your wardrobe more minimally. If you’re reading this, the chances are that you already know about the benefits of stripping back your life. And, your clothes are no different. To prove that, let’s consider three benefits of cutting your wardrobe by at least half.

You’ll drastically reduce your expenses

As we mentioned, clothes form a hefty sum of our monthly expenses. A large clothes shop is so ingrained for many that we don’t even notice it. As soon as you stop buying clothes every month, you’re sure to notice the reduction in your expenses. In extreme cases, you may find that this frees you with over $100 extra spending money. Throughout the year, an amount like that adds up. That’s not to say, of course, that you can’t spend a cent on clothes. But, cutting back to just one item every few months is sure to make a real difference to your bank account.

You’ll discover the joys of accessories

When you aren’t buying clothes, you’re more liable to play around with what you do have. And, when you start to accessorize items, you open yourself for endless benefits. For one, you’ll find that accessories are both cheaper and easier to store than brand new clothes would be. That’s a benefit on both counts, especially if you’re embarking on van life. You may also find that accessories can satisfy you in a way clothes alone never could. You don’t need ten shirts, for example. You need only alternate between blue, green, and red ties throughout the week. For barely any cost, you’ll soon learn to create a new outfit each day. We would argue that’s a benefit worth cutting back for.

You’ll treasure clothes like you never have before

You may assume that halving your budget here would leave you loving your wardrobe less, but the opposite is true. In reality, owning less stuff always makes you value what you have more. And, the same is true for your clothes. Fast fashion is a pretty heartless affair. The focus is on new things all the time, not old things which mean a lot to you. The moment you stop looking for new clothing, then, you’ll come to appreciate the items you do have. As a result, your life is sure to be richer in every way...

10 Facts That Will Totally Change Your Opinion Of Rolex

The name Rolex has, over the decades, become synonymous with quality. But few people know the lengths that the company goes to to create its products, assuming that the process is now entirely automated and run by computers. Rolex is not a mass-market watchmaker. It does not automate the production of its products, and while machines help, they are not the backbone of the process. The bulk of the work is done by real artisans, trained in the craft of watchmaking.

Ever since the company was established by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in 1905, it has focused on creating items of exceptional quality. The founders decided that they wanted people to have watches that not only told the time accurately but also made a statement about who they were. Although the notion of luxury branding was in its infancy in the early 1900s, Wilsdorf and Davis understood the fundamental psychological drivers behind it and took full advantage. Before long, Rolex had established offices in multiple countries, all over Europe. To keep quality high, the company has integrated much of the production process. The company uses its own foundry to ensure that the quality of the metal it uses remains high.

Take a look at the following infographic. It’ll totally change your opinion of Rolex.

So, as you’ve just found out, Rolex is not a mass-producer of watches. All of its products are handmade. It’s no wonder that the most expensive Rolex in history sold for an astonishing $17.7 million.

Now that you know more about the company, do you want a Rolex?
