As we journey on this path to sartorial enlightenment, there will always be bumps in the road. Times where our fit was off, or our outfit could be better. Nobody is perfect, but the key is acknowledging where you can improve so you don't repeat the same style mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we age, we experiment less with clothing and become more confident in knowing what works well. We have learnt to understand what fits, brands, or styles work best for us, and we can rinse and repeat always to look our best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, some men still haven't quite hit the top of the mountain. Don't worry; we are here to pick you up and get you back on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide will give you a hit list of style mistakes to avoid. Give these a wide berth, and you'll be heading to style nirvana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Trousers Are Too Long<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
No matter whether you wear formal trousers for work during the week or jeans at the weekend. This style rule applies to all trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, it is common for many men to be in-between sizes for trousers bought on the high street. Not wearing the right length, though, can result in your trousers collecting over your shoelaces or jean hems fraying. Both are unsightly but easy to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting a dry cleaner can efficiently solve this one. They will happily pin and alter the trouser length to your desired finish. So, rather than ditching those ill-fitting trousers, spend a bit of money to get them altered and you will get a lot more use from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Formal Shirt Is Untucked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We know, as men there isn't always the occasion or the desire to be dressed to the nines in a suit and shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At weekends or in the evenings a more relaxed, untucked style might be wanted. In this case, look for a shirt with less formal connotations like an Oxford shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just remember when you have decided to wear a formal shirt, it needs to be tucked in. Material from a nice shirt hanging over your waist screams a lack of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Belt and Shoe Colour Don't Match<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
An easy rule to follow, you should always try to match your belt and shoe colour as closely as possible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This style mistake, though, can result from bad shopping on men's behalf. Ill-prepared purchases mean you are not buying with your wardrobe in mind. Shopping impulsively can lead men to have a new pair of shoes without a belt to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why not ditch the belt? Investing in trousers with side adjusters can remove the need for a belt altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
