July 7, 2021

Looking your best and making a positive first impression is super important in this day and age. What’s even more important however is feeling good in how you look. Regularly grooming at the barbershop and looking after your body is a big component of how you present, your wardrobe choices are another integral part, which we discuss today in this article.

Dressing For Success

Dress for comfort above all else! What you pack into your wardrobe influences the way you present to the world and the way you feel about yourself. Dressing for success is about choosing attire that is both practical and attractive. A man’s clothes should hang well and look flattering. Clothes should allow him to move freely while still matching up to the occasion of the day. There is nothing worse that being stuffed into clothes with a less than flattering fit while you’re trying to make an impact on the cut throat world of today. Only the vain and the stupid would suffer for the sake of fashion, buy comfortable clothes that fit well.


The Wardrobe Essentials

The key to a functional wardrobe is having the right attire handy no matter the occasion. A bloke can’t paint the house in a fine suit nor should he wear a pair of Ruggers and flip flops when the dress code is formal. Having the essentials means having the right clobber no matter the task at hand. Think about your lifestyle, work and exercise, then ensure that you have the shoes and clothing needed to best perform in each and all of these areas. 


The Modern Man’s Wardrobe

Men’s fashion is not as trend driven as woman’s, so it’s easier for men to invest in quality pieces that will remain stylish long term. Many men will admit that instead of chasing trends, they dress confidently in apparel that has remained unchanged at the core of men’s fashion for decades. Think navy blue suits, brown leather shoes or a two button sports coat, these items have stood the test of time and helped bring success to many a great man in his endeavours.


A Final Word

Men’s fashion evolves slowly so there are many classics that will continue to persist through time. Money would be considered well spent if purchasing well fitting, high quality garments that have been proven to stay in style over time. In saying that, we all have different tastes and needs so there is no "ideal" wardrobe. What’s important is to cover your bases and ensure your confident and comfortable in your choices.
