Style Tips for MEN

Filed under: Fashion — Tags: , , , — Michelle @ 6:44 pm

So guys I know you want hassle free shopping…………why don’t you have a wardrobe makeover then? No-one understands your body better than you but sometimes you just need a helping hand.

I feel men are much better with their suit purchasing but need direction on their casual, informal wear.

Now remember women are interested in the whole package.
Women do not like a man who spends too much time on their appearance so you have to get the art of grooming right from the start.

Keep separates plain and smart, Ts’ are fine, shirts with jeans/trousers are more sophisticated.

Dark jeans are so much more stylish.

Winter will I am afraid be soon settling in………invest in a good quality coat before its too late.

Interviews take time and preparation - dark suits are best with a crisp ironed shirt.

You need to get the cut and style right for your body shape - I can help.

Accessories - watches, ties, cufflinks and wallets show the type of person you are.

No what to wear and when to wear it.

If you wear glasses, then it is extremely important to get the correct shape for your face.

Hair must be a stylish cut - a good hair stylist is imperative- you pay to have a good hair cut, you need to get the rest of your grooming right to go along with it.

Womens pet hates:
Dirty finger nails, holes in clothes, creased clothes, stained clothing, unclean, bad breath, unsightly hair, bad dress sense, football/rugby or any sport logos on shirts, etc, don’t drown in aftershave but get the measure right, sweat patches under the arms - use a good anti-perspirant, women hate body odour!

NOW REMEMBER - BE FOCUSED AND DECISIVE. YOU TOO CAN BE SUAVE AND STYLISH.

Why not give me a call whatever your age, shape and size.
