For those of you who are looking to elevate your style, do you ever wonder whether you’re on the right track? Being stylish or fashionable isn’t always easy, but there are definitely some simple rules to follow that can help you to understand how to look classic.

Go Timeless with Your Basics 

In the world of fast fashion, trends are changing faster than we can even understand what the latest in-thing is! Dressing with a classic look in mind will help you avoid falling into trends that will quickly become outdated. You can build your wardrobe with soft base colours, allowing your outfits to look cohesive or unified. On the other hand, it is great to have some classic combinations in your wardrobe, ready for you to pair with accessories or colours. After you are happy with your core wardrobe, you can start to play around with brighter colours that will make your outfit stand out. Wearing popular colours will be influenced by the season, the weather, and current fashion trends. But, by keeping a more simple wardrobe as your go-to base, your clothing will always work for you.

Invest in a Sleek Watch 

Accessories can speak a thousand words, and the one item that you can add to your outfit that will never let you down is a luxury watch. The more expensive pieces – though they are worth every penny – can really be hard on the bank account. If you are interested to learn more about trading watches, this is one way that you can easily turn your desire for luxury into something affordable, and even profitable. There is much to learn about luxury watches, though, but the one thing that will set your look apart is being classic. 

Your Shoes Make a Very Unlikely Impression 

Have you ever thought someone looked incredibly chic until you looked down and saw their torn-apart shoes? Shoes are incredibly important, and most certainly beyond their basic utility. They give away a lot of information about how you invest in and treat yourself. It is one item that tends to be neglected, but our advice is to spend money on decent shoes – and vary your choice for different occasions. Dress shoes are for more classy events and socials, helping you make a strong impression of style. However, it’s great to have some shoes that are smart-casual and help you feel comfortable on a less formal occasion. Remember to clean your shoes after your outing and wear your outfit with conviction.

Confidence is Key! 

There is nothing more handsome than a man who knows how to carry himself properly. You can be the most well-dressed person in the room, but if you have bad manners, poor posture, or even lack confidence in yourself – this will definitely negatively influence the impression others have of you. The elegance of a man is in the total impression that he leaves on others when he exits the room. So, yes it is important to dress with style. But, it is equally important to learn to converse well with others, as well as to be a gentleman in your interactions with those you meet. In this way, you will be remembered as handsome and good-natured.
