Like women, men are faced with the daily and often arduous task of selecting well-fitting, flattering and appropriate items of clothing, footwear and accessories from their wardrobes. Challenges include our physical attributes, our lives and our environment.
Many men possess great style and not all men hate shopping. Style is, however, generally less about men, though the balance has shifted somewhat over the last few decades. Most style websites I’ve encountered are very female-orientated but one that celebrates male style particularly well is www.fashionbeans.com.
No-one is exempt from style. Whether we acknowledge it or not, how we dress represents our personality, indicates our levels of confidence and expresses our individuality. Research states that we take just a few seconds to judge someone based on their appearance, a factor which may have a surprising influence on many areas of our lives.
Take control of your style by breaking it into tangible elements. Start with the physical by learning what best suits your body shape and the colours that flatter your skin-tone, hair and eyes. Then look at factors such as age, lifestyle, work, hobbies, even the weather. Finally, add your personal preferences or signature stamp to the mix.
The ability to express who you are through style is a rewarding life skill. Embrace it.
