Men, here are five style tips from women

1. Style matters

When the vast majority of women go out for the day or the evening, they pay attention to their appearance. Unfortunately, men are more likely to go out without giving much thought to appearance and style. But style is important. Even if you are informal, there’s a vast difference between casual and careless.

2. Accessories are fabulous

We are all familiar with women’s use of accessories such as handbags, shoes, scarves, necklaces and earrings. These enliven clothes and the same clothes worn with different accessories create a new outfit. The same principles can be true for men.

There are many accessories for men. These include items such as ties, pocket squares, cufflinks , jewellery and hats.

A complementary tie and pocket square lift an outfit.

Cufflinks, worn with the flair of French cuffs, add a little elegance.  Lovers of cufflinks call them miniature works of art.

3. Be creative

There are many ways you can make your outfits more interesting. Women have always known this. Here are a few examples of little touches which can make a stylish difference.

4. Yes, your shoes do matter

When men think of Prada, Manolo Blahnik, or Jimmy Choo; they see the Imelda Marcos factor at work. They think that shoes are only important for women. How wrong they are.

The legendary Esquire columnist George Frazier was spot on when he said:

‘ Wanna know if a guy is well dressed? Look down.’

I pay attention to shoes and over 90% of the times I receive a compliment, it’s from a woman. What men don’t understand is that when a woman looks at a man for the first time, she often gives him a very quick look up and down, including his shoes. It doesn’t matter whether the setting is casual, social or business. Men fail to understand the mistake they make when they aren’t wearing good, well-maintained shoes.

Till next time,

Have a stylish day,

Andrew.
