Want to put your best fashion foot forward? Avoid these common fashion mistakes and be ready to look dapper!
Fashion is all about expressing yourself and showcasing your personality, but sometimes, common mistakes can create serious fashion faux pas and make you look far from stylish. Contrary to popular belief, achieving a stylish look doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Simple fashion hacks and techniques can help you look better without breaking the bank.
Just like any other skill that comes with practice, dressing better is a skill that takes time and patience. However, when it comes to putting your best fashion foot forward, we believe that everyone is on the clock. So, to save you time and effort, we have listed some common styling mistakes that men need to avoid right away!
1. Wearing athletic shoes outside of the gym
Yes, we understand that your workout shoes have been expensive, but just like your workout clothes are reserved for the gym, athletic shoes also work best there. Invest in high-quality loafers for a formal or semi-formal look, and opt for casual sneakers for casual wear.
2. Using a backpack with a suit
A backpack can ruin the entire look of a tailored suit instantly. Instead, switch to a messenger bag to achieve a stylish look. If you only need to carry a laptop, use a leather laptop sleeve instead of a backpack. It looks classier and adds a touch of elegance to your outfit.
3. Not removing vent strings
Vent strings are the stitches that hold suit flaps together to prevent wrinkling during shipping. Many people don’t even know they exist. Once you’ve bought the suit, simply snip these stitches and let your vent flap. They have a weak hold and can easily be removed.
4. Strong fragrances in the wrong season
Leather and woody fragrances have their charm, but they don’t work well in bright sunlight. Choose perfumes designed for specific weather conditions. In summer, opt for something fresh and light, while in winter, go for a darker, muskier scent. Selecting a fragrance that works well in all temperatures is your best bet.
5. Funky socks with a suit
Unless you want to look unconventional, a pair of funky socks can disrupt the seriousness of your outfit. Instead, opt for basic socks that match the color of your trousers and don’t break the overall look.
