Just how do you up your game as a man so as to get noticed or just to stand out as a one who really has his mind for his looks. It has already been stated time and again that the first impression that you potray says a lot. It is therefore quite important to not only clothe well but to also accessorize in the right manner.

First you need to identify what works for you as to regards with the colour. This is the baseline that will help design your future choice of clothing as you do not only want to impress on your dressing, but also to feel comfortable in it.

Next, you need to make sure that whatever you wear fits your body. More often than not will you find men wearing oversize clothes. This does not go well to speak of your character. Wearing clothes that fit is a goldmine as to regards clothing.

You need to understand that less means more, particularly with regards to the use of jewellery. You should avoid wearing any more than three types of jewellery to your outfit. The use of one piece of simple jewellery is enough as it helps in the brightening of a dull outfit as it is easily notable.

Casual wear is also one that should always be employed by the modern man, especially for weekends. This helps to kick in some new perspective to your personality. Dull coloured clothes when worn should always be accompanied by a supporting piece that brightens the look. This can be from a scarf, a watch or even a belt.

It is also important to be dynamic in your dressing especially with regards to employing diverse prints in your clothing. This brings colour and dynamism to your clothing.

When you are attending a formal event, you will most likely be in need of a formal top coat. The best to use are those of fabric in cashmere, cashmere wool or wool of high quality. The length should be 5’ 6″ height 42″, 5’8″ height 44″, 5’10″ height 46″ 6’ height 47 1/2″ 6’2 height 49″. The sleeves should be about half your wrist, allowing it to cover the shirt and the sleeve. The choice of colours recommended is Carmel, Black, Navy, Charcoal, worn over a formal suit.

You should also note that you have a superb pair of shoes are in top mint condition. This is one area that women will especially take notice of. These shoes, especially if well cleaned present you as a person of good taste.

Having the clothes and accessories will not also be complete without you having to visit a barber or a hair stylist, just to look on top. Shaving can also be done at home but you really need to be careful lest you lacerate yourself.

Having said that, clothing and accessorizing cannot all be put down as presents a rare opportunity in that you are free to try out what works best for you.  To do this, you just go to your wardrobe and wear whet you feel comfortable in.

This impression lies primarily on how you look. It is therefore paramount to be presentable at all times as this represents the type of person that you are. Just exactly how do you groom? You may tend to ask?

Grooming does not only imply dressing but it starts way before. Grooming is the preparation of your body to produce one end result that is acceptable.

The skin

Our care techniques may differ among men and women but the principle is the same. It is important that men seek on facial creams and scrubs that suit their skin. These vary depending on the oil content that is on your skin. To get to the best products, a little experimentation is paramount.

For women on the other hand, skin care has for long been regarded by most as one of the most important issues that are required. They too should seek to follow a regime similar to that of the men where they should seek a regime that works for them. For those who wear makeup, it is recommended use is in moderation. Too much of it makes your face seem artificial.

Hair

It is important to have clean, neat and elegant hair. To maintain its cleanliness, this hair should always be washed daily if possible or every other day at the most. It is also important to discuss on the hair style that is good for you with your hair stylist. Just because it might look good on your friend doesn’t necessarily mean that it will have the same effect on you. This is because hair styles match our face shapes.  It is also important for you to shave off excess hair. The most common hair that should be watched in men is the beard and underarms. In women, air on legs, and underarm should always be shaved.

Teeth

Oral hygiene is also a must. This is employed through brushing of teeth and floss daily. It is also recommended that you rinse with mouthwash regularly during the day.

Perfumes

It is advisable that you avoid perfumes when in the office. However good you may feel when wearing them, they may offend others in the office and trigger asthma attacks to people who might be allergic to them.

Nails

For you to be respected in the professional circles, long nails are a turn off to any. What you should do is to always have your nails short and tidy.

Mirror test

It is important that before you leave home, you crosscheck that everything is ok with your grooming so as to make sure that you do have not forgotten a minute detail.

As the saying goes, cleanliness is next to godliness, Your hygiene takes you closer to him and you should strive to be the best that you can be.
