Everyone makes mistakes. Life is full of ridiculous moments, be it a missed stop or a message accidentally sent to the wrong place. Dressing is no exception: experimentation with clothing as a teenager, a randomly chosen outfit five minutes before going out, and lots of thoughtless shopping. It's okay, everyone goes through it. But everything can be corrected or avoided. Below are 6 popular fashion mistakes and how to fix them. Also pay attention to article 6 things that SHOULD NOT be worn by short men.
Problem # 1: color disharmony
In the throes of choosing only one bright color, choosing ensembles every day, you choose them all. Certain color combinations undoubtedly look great: a chambray shirt and salmon-colored shorts are great for going out. But others? Not good. Instead of looking like a guy on the same page as fashion, you look like a modern-day version of Joseph in his awesome dream cloak.
An easy way to stylishly combine colors in clothes is to mix one bright shade with several neutral ones, we know that dressing in cold turkey colors with a drop of bright pigment does not require much skill. So why not take a lesson in color theory? Thanks to the resource Tiger colorIt's a trivial task to determine which colors work well together (and most importantly, how many colors should be dominant).
It's not a secret for anyone that the combination of several colors in one outfit in the manner of a square, triad and according to the scheme of split complementary colors is a risky business, it is better to start gradually mixing complementary colors from opposite sides of the color wheel. For example, a blue shirt with a button-down collar and a pair of orange corduroy pants will look attractive, not scary.
Problem # 2: Pants Too Long
Let's be honest: Finding the perfect pair of pants isn't as easy as it sounds. You need to find an option that is comfortable, made of high-quality material, fits perfectly (but not too tight) at the waist and does not get dirty under the shoes. Suitable on three points, so good? But no. Pants that are too long look like you borrowed a suit from your dad or a jester.
While there are a few exceptions that Primer magazine defines as trousers with wrinkles over the cuffs, these are mid-length options with subtle pleats. But before you run to a tailor to fix the length, find more affordable ways to make your pants fit perfectly. Also take a look at article 5 of trousers that hide the belly.
Problem # 3: a tie that doesn't match a suit
Bow tie, thin tie, regular tie. Admit it, when it comes to accessories, finding the right tie can be tricky. We went too far with its width, and now the costume is already theatrical. And if it's too thin? Cowboy view from the wild west is provided. In any case, you very much run the risk of being considered ignorant in the field of style, having made only one wrong choice.
However, everything is very easy to fix. The widest part of the lapel of the suit should be equal to the widest part of the tie. So choose several tie options for different jackets. It can be expensive but well worth it.
Problem # 4: wrinkled clothes
No stylish guy wants to look sloppy. While you can have a flawlessly fitted jacket and pants (thanks to previous tips), polished boots, and beautifully groomed hair, you will still look sloppy in a wrinkled shirt. If you wear shirts that are easy to wrinkle, it might be time to buy an iron or portable steamer.
It is very easy to remove these hateful wrinkles by heating and ironing. But if there is neither one nor the other? Hang your shirt in the bathroom while you shower. The steam from the water will help remove some wrinkles, plus it will save time.
Problem # 5: mindless choice of socks
Any stylish guy knows that shoes can either beautify or ruin an outfit. Consequently, you will hesitate for a very long time between brogues, boots, loafers and ordinary sneakers. What about socks? You hardly think about their choice. Instead, just take the first clean pair you come across and fit into the ensemble. In some cases - work, formal reception, or something that requires trousers - then this will do. However, wearing socks under shorts is almost as awful as wearing flip flops. Even the best outfit with the right shoes will be turned upside down with the wrong socks.
Instead of filling a drawer with dozens of ankle-length socks, get a few pairs just below the jutting bone above the foot. This length will make the look more stylish. All sock lovers can safely invest in pairs with funny prints or choose cozy pairs for the colder seasons.
Problem # 6: the number of buttons
A button-down collar shirt is an essential wardrobe staple for all stylish guys. They are versatile, comfortable and fashionable, and they can be worn both in the office and on a date. However, buttoning the shirt correctly is a common problem. There are many opinions on how many buttons to leave unbuttoned in the office, but what about the rest of the time?
Too few (or none) open buttons and you will look too conservative, although an open shirt below the V-neck looks too casual or loose. What to do? GQ shared their thoughts: Never unbutton more than two buttons. This is the golden mean between sloppiness and conservatism.
