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.

Acne Studios FALL 2019 MENSWEAR

/

When it comes to his part in the fashion playground, Jonny Johansson said this afternoon that he always feels like a double outsider: “Because we’re from Stockholm, which is from way outside [the fashion world], plus I’m from the very north of Sweden, which is way outside even Stockholm.” For this Acne Studios collection, Johansson harnessed the advantage that provenance from the periphery affords: fresh perspective.

Here, he worked to mash together many disparate elements into a newly coalesced menswear proposition. Farming has been a pretty rare reference at the shows, but it was present today in tractor-soled, half-length rubber work boots reimagined in leather; a flecked pale work jacket with a strapped satin utility pouch; and cow-print trenchcoats. He touched on late-mid-century bohemia and counterculture in the psychedelic swirl vests; superlong snoods with even longer fringing; and the colored snake-effect trenches, shirt-jackets, and moto pants. Shirts worn above high-waisted leather pants with carpenter’s pockets were semi-sheer and patterned with distressed chevrons in Lurex that Johansson had drawn from vintage soccer jerseys; these sometimes resembled Arsenal’s immortal “bruised banana” stripe of the 1990s.

There was stretch suiting in textured jersey, some nice long coats in soft velvet in hard colors (the pale, pale pistachio looked especially strong), fitted pants and tightly darted shorts in top-to-toe finely lined brown with lavender topstitching, and super-oversize work shirting. Pants featured vibrantly lined pockets that could be worn open on the hip, as they were in this show, but were also built to function when fastened at one side by hook and eye to the waistband. Accessories included rugged fanny packs and necklaces hanging with hollowed silver globes, partially sliced, whose insides were colored to complement the garments they were worn with. Whatever he says, Johansson these days is as inside as it gets in fashion; that outsider eye, however, remains.

And here it is... Modern Luxury has chosen five dapper gentlemen as their 2017 Style Setters featured in the Fall issue of Men's Book. I am honored and thrilled to be among the Men of Style along with Todd Hoyles, Leron Rogers, Drew Brown and Dennis Dean. Very stylish company.

The photo shoot was a blast! Shot at a swanky penthouse at The Sovereign by Patrick Heagney, he and Stephanie Davis Smith of Modern Luxury had me doing all sorts of wild poses - all in the name of fashion and editorials. 

I want to give a huge thank you to Jeffrey McQuithy at Vis-A-Vis The Salon for my hair and grooming and another huge thanks to Jeffrey Atlanta's Men's Store. I'm wearing a Gucci suit with a Dior shirt in both shots but switched out the Gucci sneakers in the Table of Contents photo for a Maison Margiela lowtop paint-splatter sneaker in the other shot. Notice the Fendi Monster eyes peekaboo bag in both shots - a #MUSTHAVE!

You can see my spread and the other dapper dudes in the current issue of Men's Book, HERE!
