Bad Fashion Habits Men Should Avoid
Truth be told, men are the best at picking up little habits that they never easily let go. Some chew their nails, some floss once a lifetime and others have even more annoying habits. And even in fashion, men have a tendency to do that one thing - probably wear that same multicoloured shirt every weekend thinking it's cool.
And while his woman will change her hairstyle perhaps every other week, the man will probably have the same hairstyle forever!
While it's OK to have a signature style, overdoing and taking it to the extreme might have no aesthetic value whatsoever. This is a list of some common fashion habits that many men have fallen prey to.
Too much cologne
In case you are going to a party or something and you are applying cologne to smell nice, remember you just need to impress the people around you not the whole party attendants at once! It should also not be too strong as to have the smell left in the room half an hour after you are gone.
You can use the arm-rest rule.Unless you and I are forced to sit so close that we have to share an armrest (say in coach on a plane), I shouldn't be able to smell your chosen cologne.
The human senses adapt to the environment. If you use a certain cologne frequently your nose starts to become deaf to that smell. Such that even though you only smell a little of the cologne you are using, people around you are getting more than enough.
Wearing jeans 24/7
Most of us men having nothing but jeans in their wardrobes. You can never wear something that doesn't go with blue jeans. And unless one works in management, men never see the need to have alternatives. But you should try something different.
Start to break away by wearing blue versions of the alternatives like cords. You can also look for chinos that are thicker, still tailored through the leg, but have patch pockets on the back like jeans.
A shirt with a tie without a jacket
Most offices nowadays are business casual. Therefore the expectations for formal situations outside the office are pretty low. That almost marked the end of blazers, sports coats and suit jackets. However, if you get a great jacket with good shoulders it will give you a very sporty look no matter how often you work out.
Wearing just a shirt and tie, no matter how well tailored, will leave you looking mushy. When in doubt? Wear a jacket.
Baseball Hats
This is one of the most persistent dressing habits in guys who haven't tried formal dressing. You will find that most guys that wear hats have really bad hair, probably not looked after for an embarrassingly long time. Go get a haircut or get it done. Get a good hair product and you will be surprised at how great you look.
These are just a few bad habits to spot because out there the list is endless. It always comes down to not overdoing something, changing styles frequently and letting go of the old habits. If you change your style along those lines you will have to love the new you.
