my first tip is to find your ‘uniform’. Now you remember when I did my wardrobe declutter- I'll put it on here now - that I really chucked out certain colours. I picked one colour palette and I've reallyworked with it and this really is a major tip. Work with blues or reds or yellows, whateverit might be, but only work on that spectrum. And that means that when you're building yourown sorts of outfits and your styles, it will always work.
My second top tip is all about classic styling. Now, what I mean by this is to keep everythingreally very simple in terms of the silhouette, the shape of the clothing, and also by itsstyle. Go with basic t-shirts or block colour, alsowith shirts like Oxford shirts or anything maybe with a basic stripe. Avoid anything which has slogans or brightcolours because they will be a trend and trends are dangerous in terms of styling becausethey will come in but they'll also go; and quite a lot of the time you'll be spendingslightly more money on these things and you won't get as much ‘cost per wear’. That's really how many times can you wearthat for the cost that you paid. For me, I like to, as you see here, alwaysgo for the basic shirt, the outerwear and just a really simple pair of jeans or chinosand then boots and trainers, and you'll be able to mix and match and get the most moneyand keep that look premium.
Now my third top tip is all about your grooming. Now, we all know that grooming is all downto personal choice. Some guys love the fade, some guys like togrow their hair out slightly, some guys have long hair, some guys have no hair; but again,keep this simple. For me, I'm growing my hair out slightly becausethe fade really, again, is like that styling, it is a trend. But going with a classic cut will always bein. Sort of think of the connotations of a classiccut, it is slightly more premium and it looks more expensive. Also, if you're a guy that likes to use anysort of makeup products, keep it to a minimum; keep it looking natural and again, that willshift that look up.
My fourth top tip is all about accessories. Now, accessories don't have to be expensive. For me, there are a few things I've investedin. Sure, they're not on a budget, but I've wornthem so often. This watch, I bought this for my 21st and i wear it every single day and my 21st was nine years ago. But really, this has been amazing in terms of cost per wear. Also, I'm a big fan of a good leather bag. I will mix and match with all my outfits andbecause it's designer it does pull up. But again guys, you don't have to be goingdesigner in order to look more premium. Keep those pieces simple and mix them in withthe rest of your wardrobe.
And this leads me to my fifth and final tipand that is to layer. Now, if you think about when you go out andyou see guys just in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. That t-shirt could be the most expensive t-shirtin the world, but it doesn't always look expensive or premium. If you're putting a shirt over the top ofthat or a crew neck sweatshirt or even a denim jacket, you'll be able to start adding moreinterest to that look which will always make the look more premium, especially into autumnor winter. You can have a lot more fun with the layering. And if you're keeping it from tip one, oftenthat one colour palette, it means again, you can mix and match across that season. But there you go, the five top tips. Let me know if you do any of these already or if you want to start following any of them.
