As A Man, Finding A Personal Style Should Be Simple

Everyday we are presented with the slightly terrifying prospect of presenting ourselves to the world through the prism of our clothes. Our clothes tell people who we are, what we think about our bodies and trends happening in the world.

The largest slice of the fashion industry pie is devoted to women and creating a rainbow of flavors and designs to fulfill the every whim in a woman’s mind. What about men?

Teenage boys in their jean skinny styles and long greased hair or slouching extra-large jeans held up with narrow belts well below the butts of hip hoppers are declarations of what these boys are into. As adults, men should find a personal style to suit them that doesn’t adhere to any particular trends.

Once the overly flamboyant fashions of the Victorian era passed, men’s clothing styles have followed similar and fundamental rules that look fresh and stylish decade after decade. Three piece suits, vests, dress shirts, polo shirts, slacks, cashmere and even leather jackets are all timeless pieces that any man can adopt. The most important facet of these pieces is their fit- it cannot be overstressed that the defining characteristic of a great outfit is the tailoring involved fitting an individual’s body.

The simple style of Steve McQueen with his jeans, lumberjack shirts and leather brown boots added to his coolness which translates as easy in the 21st century as it did in the 1970′s. A stylish man owns who he is, much like the dark suit and skinny black ties of champion Muhammad Ali or white button down oxford shirts of actor Paul Newman. Silhouettes that are more than 40 years old still looks as sharp today- dismissing something that works is counter-intuitive to creating your fashion identity.

Allow your clothes to speak with you and your personality, rather than broadcasting messages that don’t apply to who you are. A man who knows himself and doesn’t fawn over being fashion forward is extremely attractive.

Accessorizing with a hat, a men’s sport watch, or even the fabric of a well-cut blazer can add something to any outfit. For men, the goal is to keep fashion simple and clean, nodding to the past and finding in it the keys a personal style that will last lifetime. Playing with trends is encouraged but should be thought of as gilding the lily of your everyday established sartorial identity.
