A while back, I worked with a client who showed up in a perfectly tailored suit. The fabric was beautiful, the fit was sharp, and the shoes? Spotless, literally.

But something felt… off.

It wasn’t the clothes. It was the grooming. His haircut had grown out past the point of “intentional,” his beard was uneven, and his skin looked dry. The suit was doing all the work—but his overall look was falling flat.

Here’s the lesson: grooming is the quiet detail that makes or breaks your style.

You can spend thousands on clothes, but if your grooming isn’t on point, you’ll never look as polished as you should.

Start with the Hair

Think of your barber as part of your style team. A good haircut is like a frame for everything else you wear. When it’s clean and intentional, you instantly look pulled together.

Pro tip: don’t wait until your hair is overgrown—set a standing appointment every 3–4 weeks.

Beards vs. Clean-Shaven

It doesn’t matter which one you prefer, as long as it looks intentional. A sharp neckline and even length on your beard changes everything. And if you’re clean-shaven, invest in a razor that won’t leave irritation behind. Either way—tidy wins.

Your Skin Sets the Tone

A client once told me he thought skincare was “too much.” But here’s the truth: you don’t need a shelf full of products. Wash your face, moisturize, and wear sunscreen. That’s it. When your skin looks healthy, your clothes look better on you—it’s that simple.

Hands Matter More Than You Think

I’ll put it this way: if you’re shaking hands at a meeting or a dinner, people notice your nails. Keep them neat and clean. It shows you pay attention to details.

A Subtle Signature

The right fragrance is like your personal signature. It doesn’t have to be strong, but it should be consistent. People will remember how you smell just as much as how you look.

The Small Stuff Counts

Eyebrows trimmed, no stray nose hairs, lips not chapped—it all adds up. These aren’t “extras.” They’re the finishing touches that separate “well-dressed” from “well-styled.”

The Big Takeaway

Style isn’t just about the clothes you put on. It’s about how everything comes together—your grooming, your presence, your wardrobe.

When you get grooming right, your clothes work harder for you. You look sharp, confident, and effortless.
