5 Ways You’re Unknowingly Sabotaging Your Style
The tiniest style mistakes have the potential to destroy your entire look.
Ill-fitting clothing, a lack of maintenance, and improper grooming can all have adverse effects on your image.
This might seem like basic knowledge, but overlooking these things is more prevalent than you might realize.
Once you've dedicated significant time and effort to upgrading your style, it's important to remember to uphold your appearance to keep polished and well-kept.
Here are “5 ways you could be unknowingly sabotaging your style” …
1 . Ill Fitting Clothing
Understanding your body type is crucial when it comes to choosing clothes that enhance your bodytype.
The key is to find pieces that compliment your physique.
So many men think that oversized clothing hides imperfections, but often it has the opposite effect, making them appear bigger than they actually are.
2. Being Overly Scented
It’s tempting to liberally apply your beloved fragrance, but please…exercise restraint. Overdoing it will only overwhelm those around you.
I always recommend letting other personal care products, such as deodorant, shampoo, or aftershave be your hero scent.
If you do choose to wear cologne, apply it lightly.
Go for a delicate touch that satisfies you personally without enveloping you in a cloud of fragrance.
3. Not Taking Care of Your Clothes
Stepping out with wrinkled clothing or dirty, worn-out shoes can instantly downgrade an outfit.
Investing in a quality steamer and a shoe cleaning kit can help upkeep your clothing and footwear.
Remember, even the smallest details matter; when your shoelaces start to wear down, it's worth spending a few extra dollars to replace them with fresh ones.
Looking well put-together not only affects how others see you but boosts self-confidence as well.
4. Dressing Inappropriate for Your Age
If someone half your age is wearing something you like, it's perfectly fine to take inspiration from their outfit. However, resist the urge to copy it directly.
If you're unsure about what flatters you, start by building a foundation of essential pieces in your wardrobe.
Investing in the right staples guarantees you'll always look in-style, regardless of your age.
5. Wearing Worn-out Clothing
If you have faded, ripped or damaged beyond repair items, toss those bad boys out!
Start looking for new pieces that you can be proud to wear.
Don't let worn-out clothing kill your style.
