Looking elegant and sharp in your clothes and keeping your overall style at a casual level is no easy feat. This is especially true for young men in their 20s and 30s, who often struggle with the conflicting pressures of ‘keeping it cool’ (meaning not going over the top with an artificial vibe to your look) and of rocking an elegant style (especially in more formal contexts). Indeed, finding the ideal balance between cool and elegant can be difficult: you want to be taken more seriously and be dressed like a grown-up man with a good sense of style (and be appropriate to the environment), but at the same time you want to not look like you tried too hard.
1. STAY AWAY FROM SPORTS
CLOTHING OUTSIDE SPORTS
CONTEXTS
Please stay away from sport clothing outside sport context. Unless you're actually in a sport environment, doing an activity, you can still rock it. But if you wana appear matured and stylish, stay away from this look outside context. You might not get as many dates as you would like. But if you can pull it off perfectly, without raising unwanted brows, it's ok.
2. WEAR PIECES OF A SUIT WITH
MORE CASUAL PIECES
This piece is not only mandatory but also perfect. You're sure gona get the girl of your dreams wearing a piece of suit, coupled with a Jean for a more casual feel.
CHOOSE A FEW TIMELESS SMART-
CASUAL ACCESSORIES
You can never do wrong with your accessories. Hat, sunglasses, wrist watches, etc. Just make sure you choose a few timeless pieces that represents you and will never get out of style.
STAY AWAY FROM TOO FLASHY
ITEMS
Be careful to draw attention to the right places. You don't want an attention when it's not actually needed. There's nothing wrong with wanting colors, but when not put together properly, you hurt people's eyes in the process. Choose your colours wisely.
KEEP YOUR HAIRCUT CLASSIC
(WITH ONLY OCCASIONAL COOL
TOUCHES)
Haircut is a tricky one. Most mistakes guys make is, they tend to either go dormant with their hair, and some just try different ones that doesn't go with their face and style. My advice, a chat with your barber before a cut goes a long way. Work something out with he/she and make sure there's an understanding and I'm sure you're just a cut away from perfection.
