When being stylish is something you do effortlessly, it means you’ve reached a level of mastery. No man (even if they claim it) is born stylish. As with anything it’s something you become. But what are the habits stylish men adhere too?
Here are the habits of a stylish man, how many have you mastered?
They’re Confident In What They Wear
Confidence is the key element to looking good. Sure you may have just purchased a tailor made suit but how do you feel wearing it? A stylish man never neglects comfort in return of looking good. If he doesn’t feel comfortable in his clothes it will show. He knows who he is, how he dresses and he’s confident in whatever he wears.
Everything He Wears Fits
Fit is the number 1 fundamental to good style. No piece of ill fitting clothing, no matter how much you spend on it will make you look as good as a well fitted item of clothing.
We’re not talking just suiting either. From the denim they wear, the t-shirts, the sports jackets… everything fits to compliment their body type. A stylish man is a perfectionist in terms of the clothing they own, making sure the trouser break falls perfectly or the shirt cuffs end precisely in the right position. They understand the theory of how clothing should fit and everything they own follows that theory.
He Knows His Tailors Name
Talking of fit, it’s hard to buy something ‘off the rack’ which fits as it should. Unless you’re a walking mannequin, going into your favourite store and being happy with the fit of an item of clothing is a difficult task.
A stylish man knows the importance of a tailor and typically stays loyal to one. A tailor is the key to getting your clothing to fit, from creating bespoke pieces for you to altering clothing you’ve bought ‘off the rack’. Find a tailor who knows exactly what you want and stay loyal to them.
He Knows Less Is More
There’s nothing beneficial about a wardrobe filled with 100’s of garments. Less is more in the eyes of a stylish man. Dressing well is all about investing in quality over quantity and keeping things timeless allow you to get more from less.
3 classic, well fitting Button Down Oxford Shirts in white, pale blue and navy trump 12 shirts you bought in the sale that don’t fit. He also knows the importance of simplicity, never overdoing it with colour combinations, accessories and layering.
They’re Not Afraid To Spend Money On Quality
Following a timeless style they’re not afraid to invest in quality garments. A well manufactured, well fitted $200 sports jacket is going to last longer (and save more money in the process) than a badly made sports jacket on sale. They know quality when they see it and understand the difference.
They’re Not Obsessed With Brands
You’ll never see a stylish man head to toe in one brand, especially a brand the masses know about. There’s no brand logos on every polo they wear and there’s no bold slogans or branding. Sure they may have a favourite brand they often use for ‘essentials’ but it’s typically not one the masses know about. Just because you went to the luxury store and bought a t-shirt for more than you’d typically pay doesn’t make you a stylish man.
