It’s that time of year when we reflect back on the year that’s ending and look forward to the possibilities, hopes, and intentions for the new year ahead.  Many people begin the process by setting goals or making resolutions.  Often these include eating healthier, working out, stopping bad habits, and incorporating new habits.  No matter what your resolutions include this year, dressing better should be on your list.  There’s truth in the old saying: “Clothes make the man” (attributed to Shakespeare and Mark Twain). When you look good, you walk taller, with presence and power.  So, here are some ways you can step up your game and step out a little more stylishly.

Choose Stylish Shoes

One things that is most often overlooked when reconsidering a wardrobe is the area of footwear.  Yet, this is one of the first things that people (especially women) notice!  Many times you are sized up by the fashion on your feet.  If you’re sporting a pair of clean Converse shoes, you’re probably laid back and fun-loving.  If you’re styling a pair of suede chukkas or a pair of leather double monk strap dress shoes, you’re most likely a man who appreciates classy, well-made footwear.  Regardless, your footwear reflects your personality and style.  So, what do your shoes say about you?  If they’re not telling the world the story you want, then consider changing your shoes so they make the right statement.

 

Wear A Tailored Suit

On a casual day off, lounging at home with the family, or barbequing with friends, a nice pair of jeans and a relaxed button down with the sleeves rolled up is absolutely the way to go. But when you’re out-and-about, or heading to work, consider a slightly more elevated look.  Few things make a man stand out the way a tailored suit does.  Yes, you can certainly wear an off-the-rack suit, but it just doesn’t fit the way a tailored suit does.  And the right fit is everything, and it speaks volumes about your confidence and authority!

Plus, a tailored suit offers you multiple options for wearing it.  You can dress it up or down, add layers, or keep it simple.

 

“Putting on a beautifully designed suit elevates my spirit, extols my sense of self, and helps define me as a man to whom details matter.”

—Gay Talese, Author

 

If the details matter, and if you like commanding attention, a tailored suit is the first step in the right direction.  

 

 

 

Choose the Right Accessories

Accessories, when done well, can take a good outfit up a notch.  Items like a classy watch or belt always make a statement, but often it’s the little things that really catch people’s eyes (especially the ladies’ eyes).  Choosing the right tie pin, or wearing a pair of stylish cufflinks can really add a special touch. And, they can also help you to show off your personality a little bit, too.  We can help you find the right pair with our huge selection, or you can call us at 1-866-4MY-CUFF for personalized assistance.
