Dressing with class adds a kind of value to your looks and makes you feel confident. When you know you’re dressed in a classy way you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable getting stares from people, instead you enjoy the attention and feel really good.
Dressing classy is important, and yes it is how you will be perceived, rated and addressed by people. There’s even a saying which goes thus: “Dress the way you want to be addressed“.
If you have a poor dressing sense, even your friends wouldn’t like to walk with you or associate themselves with you in public. It can also be said of you that you are anti-social, whereas classy dressing attracts people to you and makes people want to associate with you and show you off to anyone as their friend.
As a man you want to attract girls, go out with them and do some other things but best believe that if you don’t dress classy, you’ll only be taken for granted and perceived as someone below standard. If you are a lady reading this, you should see how to look more stunning.
So, how do you begin to dress classy as a man? We have a few tips below!
1. Select the right items for your wardrobe
There are some essentials required in your wardrobe for you to be able to dress classy and these items must be one that fits your body perfectly. Here are some suggestions of essentials you should have in your wardrobe, and it is better to have more than one of them in quantity.
- A pair of quality well fitted jeans.
- A nice suit
- A pair of good quality sneakers and shoes
- Trousers
- Shirts in different colors
- Round necks and Polo T-shirts
- Wristwatch and shades.
2. Always wear clean clothes and footwears always
This cannot be overemphasized because dirts can mar a dress no matter how classy the dress is. It will make it become mediocre, and if the dirt is quite much your classy dress can end up becoming a very poor one. This is why you should make sure what you’re putting on is very clean and neat from your top to your footwears.
There should be no stain on your collar or any part of your dress and your footwears should be kept clean as well. It is advisable that you clean up your footwears every time before use. This will keep your dress in shape giving you the classy look you want.
In addition, take time to iron your clothes in order to keep them straight and neat. It is almost impossible to look classy in a squeezed rough dress.
3. Invest in nice wristwatches and good accessories
Adding good accessories to your dress has a nice way of adding class and finishing to your classy dress in style. Accessories like wristwatches makes a man’s dress complete. I personally don’t feel good walking without a wristwatch on, I feel like something is missing and yes when you dress classy without a wristwatch something is missing indeed.
You may need that wristwatch to do just the finishing to that classy dress you want. Wearing shades sometimes does the trick as well. Accessories do not necessarily need to be very expensive, they just need to be decent and reflect a mature taste.
4. Carefully and classically select dress combinations
After having the right items in your wardrobe, it is equally important that you know what to wear and what to combine on it. A good wardrobe with no dress sense and poor combination will leave you looking like a clown.
You should know how to match clothes. A cool pair of jeans with a lightly colored shirt and a lightly colored pair of converse shoes is a nice combination for your classy look.
Also while selecting a suitable color, you should keep your skin tone in mind. You should select colors that fits your tone and that will bring out the best of your look. Make sure you don’t mix too many colors on your dress, it sometimes looks weird and childish.
You should also try as much as possible to avoid shorts. Unless you are in the pool or gym you shouldn’t wear them. They don’t make you look classy.
5. Smell good
It is important to move around with a nice scent. A bad odour coming from you will crush down every bit of class you have portrayed with your dress. Imagine someone comes close to you and what hits his nose is a bad smell, such person will never consider you classy.
To avoid this you should get a deodorant and probably a perfume (optional) that’ll give people a sweet scent sensation when they move close to you. Not necessarily a strong scent to fill the area, can just be a slight one to make people feel comfortable when close to you.
6. Personal hygiene and personal care
How you take care of yourself reflects in your dress and affects how classy you look. A brown looking and smelly teeth obviously does not portray class. So, in the long run, brushing your teeth regularly is also a determinant of how classy you appear.
Is your hair in shape? Make sure you get a haircut regularly to keep your hair in shape if you don’t cut your hair maintain whatever hairstyle you have on you too look great.
The way your hair looks goes a long way in having a good and classy appearance. Proper maintenance of your skin, fingernails and other personal care are also necessary to appear classy.
In conclusion
Considering all these, you will realize that even the slightest things you overlook can have a great effect on your dressing and look and it can bridge the gap between you dressing classy and just dressing with no class.
So, you must make sure everything is in shape and close to perfection. Also avoid dressing like a kid and wearing some unnecessary trendy stuff will do you no good. You can also try out new items and accessories. You will know by your intuition if it’s classy or not. You can also ask for opinions from your very close pals (with dress sense) before wearing some dress
Look good, dress classy and earn people’s respect.
