Let’s face it: if you had it your way, you’d be in a T-shirt and jeans every day. But you also know that dressing well is part of how you project yourself and how confident you feel every time you go out. 

To make sure that you dress the part, here are four basic fashion rules you should know about:

1. Develop an eye for style by knowing what suits you.

Here’s the truth: no one is born to fit every suit, shirt and trousers perfectly. In fact, dressing well is a skill that needs to be learned through constant practice and developing an eye for style.

The first step to doing that is knowing what style suits you best. To do this, you can identify men who you think dress well. It could be a celebrity, athlete, or an ordinary person that you know. This will help you determine what style you tend to lean towards more, so it’s easier for you to build your wardrobe.

2. Know your exact fit.

Ask any stylist for one fashion advice and they’ll tell you to find your fit. Whether it’s tailored suits or jeans, knowing your exact fit will take care of most of your styling problems. That’s because the most expensive clothes will look bad on you if they don’t fit properly. 

A lot of men tend to wear clothes that feel comfortable for them, even if they’re too big or loose. But if you know your exact fit, it’s easier to find clothes that you’ll feel comfortable wearing and still look good on you.

3. Don’t be afraid to be different.

Do you wonder what you’d look like if you wore the same style of clothes as David Beckham or James Bond? Of course, you dream about looking like a celebrity, but you know that you’ll either get weird stares or loud laughs from friends if you do dress like them.

But remember that there’s nothing wrong with being different and standing out from the crowd as long as you do it right. You don’t need to be completely original with your style since you’re taking inspiration from others. But you can always stand out by adding a personal touch to what’s considered to be ordinary fashion for men.

4. Invest in quality all the time.

It’s true that buying clothes can be expensive. But if you’re going to spend your hard-earned money on looking good, make sure that you invest in quality. Find a brand that suits the style that you’re going for the most. This could be for everyday or formal wear. But if you’re always wearing suits, it’s best to have them created by a tailor who can make suits that will fit your body like a glove.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles until you find one that you feel most confident in. Your wardrobe will continue to evolve as you grow older, so make sure that you enjoy each season of your style.
