5 Types of shoes every man should own
Not grooming regularly
Overgrown hair, beards, and fingernails are a no-no. Make sure you’re taking proper care of your grooming and putting your best foot forward. Especially important in professional environments.
Not paying attention to the details
The little things matter, so take care to focus on them. Things like not lint rolling your clothing (especially dark shirts, suits, and jackets), wearing wrinkled clothing, and not tucking in your shoelaces really matter with your overall look.
5 Must knows when picking out a perfect blazer
Wearing too much cologne
A little goes a long way, and there’s nothing worse than smelling someone from 5 feet away. Nobody (especially women) wants that. If you can smell yourself, it’s too much.
Over accessorizing
This can go wrong so easily, over-accessorizing can be a huge problem.
Go easy on rings, bracelets, and other flashy items and go for more subtle, refined accessories to show some personality or flair. Stick with 1 or 2 items max, like a pocket square and a watch.
5 Ways to accessorize your Little Black Dress
Wearing clothes that don’t suit your body type and shape
Working with your body type is a huge part of getting well-fitting clothing. Choose items that will flatter and fit well.
Some easy items to avoid are henley shirts if you’re not fit or muscular, Chelsea boots if you’re a bigger guy, and classic straight-legged jeans if you’re a thinner guy.
Being overly conscious
Trying too hard can be as bad as not trying at all. Wearing trendy items that aren’t you or not wearing things that make you feel comfortable and confident are quick ways to ruin your overall style. People notice how you feel and if you’re feeling good about what you’re wearing and looking good, it will stand out.
