Write these tips down
Not always dressing well is directly linked to the fact of investing a lot of money. Just like in any other area of knowledge, dressing well requires study, especially about yourself!
Being on top of the colors that match your skin, with the shapes and models that best fit your biotype (your body shape) and adapting your needs to your daily activities are the three main pieces of information that you should always have with you when for choosing your clothes and combinations. We prepared a list of tips to always be well-dressed!
Shapes and Modeling
First let's talk about shapes and modeling. We can never skip this chapter. The main body shapes are: triangle (shoulders larger than the waist), inverted triangle (hips larger than the shoulders), square (shoulders, waist and hips on the same line), oval (with the accentuated belly), trapeze (shoulders one slightly larger than the hips, but with harmonic proportion). Did you notice that they are all related to geometric shapes?
So we can conclude that we always need to analyze the proportions, that is, balance these measures: bigger shoulders ask for slimmer pieces at the top and narrower hips ask for more voluminous pieces with stronger colors. Always think about the logic: when a part of our body stands out, we need to put the focus and volume on that other part that is at a volumetric disadvantage.
That's why modeling is so important, after all, it will help build our shapes, balancing and leaving our body harmonic. Think about it when choosing your outfits and also buying new clothes.
Colors: neutrals and contrasts
The main element of choosing an outfit is usually the color. If you have several types of garments, for example tapered and shorter pants, you will choose the color you want to wear or match that day. So the order of choice almost always follows a path like this: the piece you need, the color you are going to use, the shape and modeling you need. The color will change the whole sense of your outfit. Whether it's dark, whether it's light, whether it's vibrant, each shade will send a message about you and your lifestyle.
Neutral colors are great for easily matching each other and also for more serious, more basic looks. They are also great for playing wildcard pieces, those that go with everything. But they go unnoticed. Also have light colored pieces and vibrant colors like yellow, red, green. Bet on contrasts like yellow and purple, green and red. Monochrome looks in colors like white and light blue are style tricks that do good points for you.
third piece
We call the third piece the one that goes beyond the two essentials of a production: pants (or shorts) and shirt (or shirt. The third piece would be the jacket, a vest, a scarf. It is usually important to give more style to the look, and many times it can completely change the result when we repeat the same two pieces.
In addition to helping with the functional issue, a vest protects more from the cold, just like a denim jacket, the third piece can be that far from basic that will make you stand out. Fun and colorful prints, maxi volumes, different textures. Think out of the box!
layer building
It's not that easy and usually in winter it may be necessary. You know that onion-style look that adds and removes different beds? It could be a style trick. But everything will depend on the modeling and harmony of these chosen pieces.
If you have a lot of body volume on your upper body, composing lots of top layers will give you even more volume. If you are very thin, you can already take advantage of this technique. Colors and prints deserve attention, for more corporate looks combine neutrals and classic prints. For a cooler style, dare to contrast and mix prints.
Remember that in places and days where the climate fluctuates a lot, the warmest pieces will be removed and need to be safe. So don't miss them out there!
Fabrics matter!
There are people who buy clothes without even worrying about the fabric. And there are people who buy clothes thinking about the fabric. The truth is that fabric does matter and in the end result it changes everything. Good quality fabrics completely change your production. Some clothes even go unnoticed, if the modeling is good and you know how to dress well. But otherwise it's chaos: beautiful clothes and bad fabric, it shows even more damage!
Does a quality fabric cost more? Yes, and most of the time it costs a lot more. However, it is an investment when we talk about cost-effectiveness, since clothes made with good quality fabrics last longer. Washing properly and taking care of the piece, of course!
Trend: when to use
When trends are on the rise, in a short time they end up visually saturating shop windows and stores. They start in the most expensive stores, then in fast fashion and end up in the most massified street stores. Some men like to wear trends that are high, pieces that are in fashion. Others don't take the risk and always stay in classic men's fashion, without changing clothing models, colors and much less modeling.
But you can enjoy a little bit of both worlds. You don't have to be a victim of trends and use everything that's new out there. You can choose some that are more related to your lifestyle and personal taste and buy one piece or another to get out of your comfort zone. A more modern look has good points: it renews, rejuvenates and is also good for standing out.
