Fashion tips men? You are kidding!

Women are the only ones who have to be bothered about all that stuff. All we need to do, is pick the first available shirt and trousers we lay our hands on in the closet; who cares about colour? Then we can douse on any tie, whatever colour of socks, feet in shoes and we are off to the office.

However, for a business organisation; as a man, that’s a big OH NO! There is a lot more to consider.

To get ahead in the business world, intelligence isn’t only the surety. One must always be on top of his game, even when it come to his appearance. From head to toe, you must always be polished. Your attires are a key factor that does not only reflect in others opinion of you, but it also impacts the way in which you perceive yourself.

Therefore, it is important that you familiarize yourself with some very basic office fashion tips, listed here.

1. Thou shall wear clean clothes

The working hours are strenuously long and hectic. The traffic is bad. Yes, very cogent reasons but not excusable. Its so not professional. A gallon of perfume won’t cover that odour.

2. Thou shall plan your outfit the night before.

Do you know what time I get home for work? Yes. But five minutes will do to just pick out the right suit, shirt, and tie that blends with the selected shoe, belt and trousers.

3. Thou shall always polish your shoes

A dusty worn-down shoes that are clinging for dear life doesn’t scream professionalism. It must not be the most expensive, but whatever shoe you decide to clad your feet in, it should always be polished.

4. Thou shall match your belt with your shoes.

Another rule for men when it comes to corporate offices is that your belt must always match your shoes; in terms of colour. Black is always the safe bet, but if you are going for other colours, you must always make sure the belt matches your shoe. Matching shoes and belt will make you look more organized and put together.

5. Thou shall tie your tie correctly

The knot type is not as important as the length. The essential thing to look out for is how long you tie your tie. The rule is that your tie should touch your belt line; it should not lower or higher.

6. Thou shall get fitted clothes.

It is very crucial to wear clothes in your size. The jacket, pants and shirt must be tight enough to touch your body, but loose enough to permit you any kind of movements and not strangle you.

Also pay attention to the collar of your jacket and collar of your shirt. These two need to touch and no space between them is allowed.

7. Thou shall wear dress shirts.

Not every shirt is a dress shirt suitable for a formal organization. A dress shirt is a shirt that features seven or eight buttons, and no pockets.

8. Thou shall know when and what to button in suits or vests

There are fundamentally two rules you need to follow in this setting; firstly, if you are wearing a jacket that has two or more buttons, you need to always unfasten the lowest button.

And secondly, when you sit down, you should always unbutton your jacket. And when you stand up, refasten it again.

9. Thou shall always wear the right socks

White socks are strictly for the gym. Black, Gray and brown socks are a safe bet for the business office.

10. Thou shall always wear a smile

It is the consummation of the entire appearance. No one wants to approach the guy with the rumpled face. So cheer-up and flash that sparkling white teeth.

Looking great will result in feeling great. So look your best and following this tips will do that for you. So you won’t be identified as the office slob.
