The secret lies in knowing how to interpret each style rule
in its proper measure, in adapting them to each case. And, of course, do it
with an essential sense of humor. We offer 50 essential keys to good dress that
we illustrate with some images and tips.
1. It is you who wears clothes, and not the other way
around.
2. Investing in quality is often synonymous with doing
things that are not seen. Like the internal movement of a mechanical watch or
the hand-stitched seams of a jacket or shoes.
3. Conventional jeans are fine; Dark jeans are better. Leave
the jeans tight to the hip and flared for the cowgirls. The black jeans, nor
look at them.
4. Celebrities are always well dressed for two reasons: they
are famous and a person is responsible - full time - to select their wardrobe.
Do not be discouraged. Become famous.
5. Expand the color palette of your closet. Pink, turquoise, and coral are colors that favor men, although they do not believe it (yes,
nothing to combine clothes, only one of color).
6. Lasts are a useful tool, but you only need a pair. Use
them for shoes that you wear daily. The shoe, tempered and moist due to body
temperature and perspiration, will contract when cooled and with the help of
the last, will return to its original shape. The last will return to its form
in a couple of hours.
7. Dress to travel by plane as if it were the privilege of a
few. Start with a shirt with a collar and a custom jacket. If you can't stand
wearing appropriate shoes, discreet leather sneakers can be worth it. Banish
the sweatpants, it's not in the gym. Exception: flying in your own private jet
gives you a carte blanche.
8. Quality and well-preserved shoes can last for decades.
When buying footwear, remember to have leather soles and paddles of the best
quality. Don't forget that leather shoes are easier to repair. Exception:
moccasins can be damaged earlier. Take special care of them.
9. It is better to go from formal than casual. Being crossed
out of eccentric for wearing a tuxedo to a swimming competition is preferable
to wearing jeans and a t-shirt to a wedding.
10. In the bathroom closet should not be missing: a razor
blade, shaving soap, a shaving brush, a comb, deodorant, a nail clipper, jelly,
toothpaste, and a toothbrush. Ready.
11. Buy the suit that suits you, not the one that you would
like to fit. A very tight suit will make you look fat. One of a size larger
will be more comfortable, but it will look like a ten-year-old boy playing
costumes. Between them is the suit you must buy.
12. Waterproof and waterproof are not synonymous, moreover,
there is a big difference.
13. In this new fashion of reconciling jeans with a jacket, a
handkerchief can be a worthy substitute for the tie. In the right column, some
virtuosos of the handkerchief.
14. Women are sexy when they wear a male garment. Exception:
also when they wear it female.
15. Wet shoes should be dried in a hot place, such as near
an oven. But be careful: drying too fast can crack the leather.
16. Be wary of the man wearing a US sweatshirt. The sweatshirts
of university teams are worn by two types of people: those in whom the
education system did not make a dent and those who have paid large fees for
their children to go to university and like to let others know. Exception:
forget about suspicions if you live near a prestigious university.
17. With a crossed suit, it may be permissible to unzip only
the lower right button. The rest must be buttoned. If you want to be
comfortable, take off your jacket.
18. Some colors are designed to combine. Others do not.
Below are the combinations that work (and also those that don't).
19. There are two ways to store a tie: horizontally in a
drawer and rolled up. Fold it and then roll it starting at the narrowest part.
Both methods will allow the tie to return to its original form overnight.
20. If you wear glasses, keep in mind that they should be in
line with the shape of your face.
21. The great classic fabrics always set a good pattern.
There are ten fabrics that cannot be missing in the elegant man's wardrobe.
From the Prince of Wales gray or in hazelnut tones, although always with a
subtle blue shadow, to those in combed wool of night blue color, or those made
with the classic gray flannel.
22. Short socks are made for British men and Italian bus
drivers.
23. Before buying any green, brown or blue garment, check
its tone in daylight. What may seem navy blue under a fluorescent light, can
actually be violet with natural light.
24. Even a well-armed tuxedo has its limitations. A good
tuxedo can equate many men with James Bond, but that does not mean they have
their appeal.
25. Don't look for inspiration in the style of Russell
Crowe.
26. Clean brown shoes, either light or dark, with black
bitumen. Do not be suspicious. This bitumen will give them darker shadows
around the seams and gradually get a more and more intense luster.
27. With regard to prints, less is more. However, if you bet
to combine them, follow this rule: the pattern of the tie should be more daring
than that of the shirt.
28. Wearing shoes day and night will drastically cut their
lifespan.
29. Take your time when buying shoes. Do not be fooled by
the shine of your leather. To show off you don't have to suffer - at least in
this case.
30. When it comes to watches, there are two types of men:
men with quartz watches and men with mechanical watches. Buy quartz if you
are only interested in knowing what time it is. Buy a mechanic if you like
machines. Exception: or emulate the American presidents and opt for a digital
one of the G-Shock type.
31. Do not unzip the pockets of the axel foley jacket. If you open them
you will only get them deformed.
32. You do not need to fasten each and every button. In a
double-breasted suit, only the upper one can be fastened; in the triple
buttoned one, the middle one; and in a simple button suit ... you don't have
many options left.
33. The most classy color for a bow tie is black. Exception:
if you are a hipster, try a dark blue or chocolate brown.
34. When buying a suit, regardless of its price, pay
attention to four important aspects.
35. Opening the eyelets of the cuffs of the suits used to be
a sign of artisan quality. No longer. We know that your suit has a good cut,
keep them closed.
36. The tie knot must completely cover the collar of the
shirt. Otherwise, the knot is very loose.
37. The tip of the tie should reach the waist.
38. While calculating its length, learn how to make a bow
tie.
39. Never buy anything yellow. Exception: unless it is a
Lamborghini.
40. A man should not expand his closet but improve it. Take
a look at your closet, select the clothes that give you packaging and then bet
on those that give you even more packaging.
41. At a party, nobody will notice if he has lost a twin.
Keep the loner in place.
42. If you can slide a finger between the collar of the
shirt and your own it will be perfect. If it is more comfortable, it will seem
Krusty the clown.
43. Nothing like a mobile phone hanging from the belt to
subtract distinction.
44. Sunglasses must fulfill the function for which they were
created. And never take away at night.
45. Despite the stylistic follies of the 80s, there were
some successes such as polo. After moments of crisis, he has recovered the
place he deserves. We encourage you to include it in your closet.
