How can a man choose his style of dress?

The dressing is a big concern for most men. Who doesn't envy the style of David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Georges Clooney or Cristiano Ronaldo? Everyone is looking for a dress style of their own. But how can a man choose his style of dress? We explain everything in this article.

What does the dress style mean?

Dress style is how a man dresses regularly and gives him an image in people's minds. Dress style is the embodiment of a man's personality traits.

Each style is characterised by its specificities, permanence, the tacit signals it sends back and above all the translation of each person's personality. So it's a sort of signature of the person's clothing. A style can be adopted by tapping into the elements of fashion. The subject's style evolves with new trends, social development or the age of man.

Through the way they dress, we can predict the type and other characteristic aspects of a person. Therefore, choosing the right style to reveal who you are or who you want to appear is essential.

What are the different dress styles?

The casual or casual style

Casual-style means dressing in comfortable, loose-fitting, casual clothing. However, they are neither too ordinary nor too formal. In its masculine version, the relaxed style means something bordering on sporty elegance. This style is informal. It is suitable for:

• daily use,
• occasional social gatherings,
• weekend activities.

We choose less formal shirts in such a style, like plaid shirts, jeans, elbow patches, etc.

On the shirt, you can put a V-neck sweater. You can also wear a shirt (sleeveless) or cardigan. Crewneck sweaters are worn over the t-shirt.

In a casual style, jeans are very present. Always wear a belt over the pants. If you decide to wear a shirt over the pants, the length should be half the size only for taller men.

When it comes to shoes, trendy moccasins, sneakers and sneakers are a great choice.

This style can also be a matter of tradition and society. It is about wearing brands and clothes that indicate that you are part of a social group.

Depending on the circumstances, the costumes can adapt. Not all costumes are as strict as you might think. The types of outfits are divided into:

1. Daily / Work: All items are the same colour, sometimes in a strip. The jacket has open lapels, flap pockets, sometimes with a small bag for tickets. It must be wool.
2. Evening: All elements in navy blue, grey or black. The jacket has closed lapels, satin collars, fabric-covered buttons, bushy pockets for tuxedos (which must have a vertical waist). It should be wool with a blend of silk or cashmere, which will add a subtle shine to the glaze.
3. Sports / walking: Freedom is total, all colours are allowed. Most of the time, they are cotton.

With suits, avoid plaid shirts or other larger designs. It is best to be uniform or with a light print.

The colour of the socks should be a little lighter or darker than the colour of the pants. Short men wear socks of the same colour as the pants. Avoid matching the colour of the socks to the colour of the shoes.

Why is it essential to have a dress style?

Adopting a dress style is not an obligation. You can choose to sail from one type to another, depending on the circumstances.

But choosing one that characterises us is an advantage. When you've decided it well, your style gives you many benefits. First of all, it allows you without approaching everyone to reveal yourself to others.

Adopting the right style gives you some confidence in yourself. It imposes a way of seeing you in the eyes of others, without even taking action. It commands admiration and respect, always provided it is well conducted.

Along with all of these public benefits, there are associated benefits for your private and professional life. On this last aspect, the choice of a consistent clothing style will help you progress. Your tone should be adapted to the dress code of your industry.

How to proceed concretely?

"De gustibus et coloribus non-disputant", that is, one should not discuss tastes and colours. Everyone is, therefore, free to act and choose their style or even try to create one according to their preferences. However, having a culture of good taste is essential for a successful choice of style.

This good taste, though, being subjective nevertheless encompasses a specific “objective” aesthetic aspect in correspondence with its time. And to acquire this culture, you can do enough research on the internet, read magazines, find yourself involved in the choice, and bring in your personal tastes.

Integrate other parameters so that your choice is the perfect reflection of you:

• Take your build into account. There is always a style for everyone. Provided that you are looking really good. And this is the most important, and the hardest thing to do: seek and find what suits you in all plans.
• Integrate your professional characteristics. You have to find the right style for the profession you practice, for the image you want to give to those around you.
• Think about your budget. Better to avoid a style that matches your finances.
• Think about your social life: As discussed above, dress style reflects belonging to a social class. Usually, you share your style with various people around you.
