Style Mistakes Most Guys Make Without Realizing

 There are many style flaws that we guys tend to commit at one point or another. The sooner you learn about these flaws, the faster you can change them and improve your overall style and appearance.



When it comes to style, a lot of us like to think that we have it all figured out. However, even the most fashion-savvy guys can make some common mistakes without even realizing it. In this article, we’ll shed light on some style flaws that many guys tend to make, and provide tips on how to avoid them.

I know, we guys sometimes mess things up without even realizing it, fortunately, this can be identified and learned later on. You can learn what to look out for to always look flawless.


1. Bulging Pockets

One of the most overlooked style mistakes is carrying too much in your pockets.


We, as men, like to carry a lot with us, whether it is our keys, phone, wallet, a few business cards, or a receipt. The problem is that most of the time, we don’t have a bag with us to carry these things. So, what options do we have? We can put everything into our pockets, but doing so can disrupt the clean lines of our outfits and make us appear messy.

A simple solution to this problem is a new wallet because often the biggest objects in our pockets are our wallets. Consider investing in a slim wallet and a phone case with card slots to keep your pockets organized and streamlined.

Keep the least number of keys in your pocket and if you plan to carry more items, consider taking a bag with you.


2. Long or Bulky Trousers


Ill-fitting trousers can throw off the proportions of your entire outfit. Make sure your trousers are the right length and fit well around the waist and hips. Tailoring can be a game-changer in achieving a polished look.


That’s why I always recommend taking your clothes to a local professional to adjust to your body. It’s better to wear more affordable clothing that fits you perfectly, than designer clothes that cost 3-4 times but don’t fit your body.

Pants should fit a man comfortably around the waist without sagging or squeezing. The seat should drape smoothly, and the length should break slightly at the shoes. A tailored fit ensures a polished look while allowing ease of movement.


3. Square Toe Dress Shoes


While square-toe dress shoes were once in vogue, they have fallen out of favor nowadays – or perhaps 30 years ago.



Nowadays if you want to look stylish, opt for shoes with a more classic and refined silhouette, like a round or almond toe, for a timeless and sophisticated look.



4. Too Much or Too Little Accessories


Finding the right balance of accessories can be tricky. You have to avoid overloading with too many pieces or going bare. Instead, choose a few quality items like a watch, a bracelet, or a classic belt to complement your outfit without overwhelming it.


If you are unsure about your accessories, put on a versatile watch, and a subtle leather belt and you will be good to go. Once you are comfortable with the basics, you can experiment with different bracelets, necklaces, or suit accessories, but it all comes down to personal preferences.






5. Neglecting Grooming


Personal hygiene, shaving, and hairstyling are essential parts of a well put together appearance. Take the time to maintain a clean and groomed look to elevate your overall style.


If you always appear sloppy with a patchy beard, unkempt hair, and poor hygiene, the world won’t think highly of you. Remember, gentlemen, you are what you present to the world, so strive to be the best version of yourself.

6. Not Having a Signature Scent


Said it many times before, but as you reach a certain age in your life, you should develop a few signature scents. A signature scent can leave a lasting impression and enhance your overall style.

Find a fragrance that complements your personality and wear it consistently to leave a memorable mark on others. As a starting point, read our article about Best Blue Fragrances That Are Worth The Money

What A Man Should Wear On A Date

  Fellas, we know it can be tough out there on the dating scene. The main thing you’re usually worried about is whether or not you and your date are vibing together. Are your jokes landing? You hope so. A couple of twenty-two dollar cocktails in, and suddenly you’re worrying about the bill. You look down at your outfit, then glance across the table, followed by a quick survey of surrounding couples. Did I even dress right?  You ask yourself. That last part can sometimes be one of the trickiest components to a date gone well. Because truth be told, clothing choice matters. First impressions matter. Even if you’re in an established relationship, choosing the right outfit for date night can be the difference between showing you care and showing you’d rather be elsewhere. The right outfit tells your date that you put thought into things, and it communicates your overall sense of awareness. Which is all rather important, if you ask us. Determining the right outfit choice becom...
