Your style expresses who you are. To develop a sense of style, you must know what you are looking for. Do your research by consulting many different fashionable sources. Do what looks and feels good to you.

By following these tips, you will avoid falling into 80% of the traps that could have reserved you the search for a good look.

1. Don’t listen to salesmen

This point may sound extreme, but sales associates in clothes shops open to the general public are usually not fashion specialists. These are simply people who were trained to sell. It doesn’t matter whether your clothes don’t fit because, with them, it’s always THE cut you need, THE color that puts you forward, or THE fabric that makes you look good.

They are very good at flattering people, but when it comes to improving your style, it’s everything that you don’t need.

The only exception we can make to this rule is when fashion stores are very strict and have intimate relationships with clients. These stores have confidential creators found in all the great fashion capitals of the world (Paris, New York, Milan, Stockholm…). In such stores, sales assistants are often real counselors passionate about style.

2. Admit that you don’t know

This second point will directly concern your ego. Men don’t like being wrong, especially when it’s clear. With looks, you can not cheat: if you’re not dressed up, it shows. It is needless to try to prove the opposite, as you will be even more pathetic. If you want to improve, you should accept that you don’t know. To improve, this is mandatory and fundamental. Otherwise, you will hit a brick wall. Be curious and open, and ask as many questions as possible.

This will help you understand fashion and build your style by starting from new bases.

We motivate you to learn as much as possible to improve your knowledge of looks for men. To do so, you should consult with blogs specializing in such areas and subscribe to fashion magazines.

3. Take your time

The first mistake people make when they’re interested in looks is that they go too fast. They accumulate information quickly, don’t take the time to understand the influences of such or such clothes, and in the end, we imagine that building a good look is purely a game of mathematics. This is a wrong approach that will make you miss the hidden face of the iceberg.

Take the time to understand your readings and the tips that you are given. Then, take the time to fail and learn from your mistakes.

We live in times when everything is ready to be consumed, and people are not used to waiting to gain access to everything quickly. But here, it’s all about your stylistic identity.

To have a good look, you should also take time to learn about yourself in a technical way (morphology, skin color, hair color, etc.) and in a philosophical way.
