How to Dress Well:Follow Rules for Men

Let me guess…

You want to know how to dress well, but you have no clue where to start.

You never grew up with much interest in personal style, and you never developed a natural instinct for how you should dress. And even though you can find a ton of information online, it confuses and overwhelms you more than it helps you understand.

And it sucks, doesn’t it?

Because you’re smart, and you should be able to figure out how to be a well dressed man. You just have no clue what you should be focusing on.

But guess what?

You’re Not the Only Guy Who Struggles with Dressing Better

Many guys struggle with how to dress better.

In fact, just a few years back, I struggled as well.

I was a terrible dresser.

And when I decided to step up from hoodies and graphic t-shirts to something more respectable, I had a hard time figuring out the dress code for a casual evening or a formal event.

But despite all my early failures, I kept trying, and eventually, things started to click in my head. I had to try out lots of terrible men’s fashion tips before I found the nuggets that actually worked, but eventually, I developed a much better dress sense.

Yes, I finally knew how to dress well, men.

Just see for yourself:

How to Dress Well: The 3 Rules Every Beginner Should Follow

Rule #1: Start From Scratch

When you want to start dressing with style, you have to start from the beginning.

That doesn’t mean you should discard all of your clothes in your dressing room right away. (I’m fairly sure society frowns upon naked men going clothes shopping.)

But, you should accept that you will eventually get rid of most of your current wardrobe. You will trade it in for one that’s better suited and more refined, even if you still want to keep it casual.

For instance, swap your graphic t-shirts with casual t-shirts in solid colors.

Yes, saying goodbye to your favorite skinny jeans, brown blazer or baggy denim jacket will be hard when you do it the first time. But it must be done in order to make progress. 

Don’t worry though; you’ll get new favorites.

Better favorites that will make you look way more awesome.

Rule #2: Forget Everything You Think You Know

One of the hardest things I ever had to accept was that my fashion-knowledge was nonexistent.

During my researching stage on menswear, I would often read something that completely flipped my world upside down.

Things I deemed inconsequential in men’s clothing turned out to be of vital importance, while things that I thought were crucial turned out not to matter at all.

You should accept that you may not know as much as you think.

You should think of yourself as a complete beginner, so you don’t gloss over anything that could help you see the light. Otherwise, you’ll likely skip important lessons.

Assume you know nothing about men’s style, and you’ll be open to learning everything.

Rule #3: Fit Comes First

This is the golden rule; getting the fit right is your priority, always.

Unfortunately, most guys get this wrong, and getting this wrong sabotages anything else you try.

I mean, just compare these two shirts:The shirt on the right completely throws off my body’s proportions, making me look like I raided someone else’s closet. It may look comfortable, but the tailoring is terrible for my body shape (the sleeves are way too long and too much billowy fabric around my midsection).

When selecting your shirt style, it is crucial to nail your size. Ensure your shirt sleeves end where your wrist meets your hand, and your collar has a finger-width of space when fully fastened.

Dressing well is all about the right fit, guys.

Fit comes first.
