There are many rules in life, and your husband might not be excited about following those related to dressing well. Alternatively, they may have their opinion on the matter, which you don’t agree with at all.
Especially in the age when menswear is becoming as productive and varied as it has ever been, some right pieces of advice can be the best thing to fall back on. They also tend to have their foundation in the evident – good fit, versatility, high-quality, and no extremes.
So, follow these simple rules when helping your husband choose his outfits, and you’ll soon be walking hand in hand with a fashionable husband.
Identify His Style
Many guys avoid fashion out of the belief that they aren’t stylish and that they don’t have the eye for knowing what looks good. Still, as fashion consists of preferences, his choice can be as simple as copying a guy whose style he likes.
What you can do is talk to your husband and find out which styles he liked and which he hates. He might not know why he loves some, but you can deduct from patterns.
Remember that you can’t help your husband, or anyone, dress better by putting them in clothes they don’t like. Keep HIS style in mind when aiding him in making choices, and not the one YOU think would fit him best.
Find the Right Fit
Fit is an essential part of developing a great style. It matters so much that it can resolve style problems in people who wear improperly fitting clothes.
You see, poor-fitting items throw off the body proportions. It looks sloppy, and sometimes even makes the person wearing the clothes seem shorter and fatter. Still, men and women alike tend to go for oversized models for the comfort or sheer lack of knowledge.
There are many handy cheat sheets for determining how certain clothing items should fit. They should do the trick in less than 10 minutes.
Men’s Best Fashion Tips
Fashion tips for men can go super complex once you reach a certain level of style. However, today we’re assuming that your husband is only now developing a look, so we’ll keep the tips straightforward, too.
- Keep it simple – remember not to overdo your wardrobe. Never wear more than three colors or three pieces of jewelry.
- Remember the basics – ensure that your essential wardrobe items are of high quality and ideal fit before you go on and get the extras.
- Flashy can look good – if you want to go more stylish, remember to keep it simple, too. Throw on some accessories but don’t mix colors or styles.
- Casual isn’t dull – if you want to dress casually, that doesn’t have to mean not stylishly. The casual style is a massive playground.
Gift Ideas
Now, to kickstart your man’s road to fashion, you can get him some of the essential items for men. First, check what he has and how well those items fit in terms of size and style, and then continue until you’ve completed the list. Here are a fashionable husband’s must-have essentials.
Versatile Shoes
Every man, no matter his lifestyle, needs one pair of casual shoes – they could be sneakers or trainers, one pair of dress shoes, and one pair of boots unless you live in a super warm climate.
Versatile Pants
The key to the best pants for men is that they are easy to match with other items. Dark denim is the number one choice, as you can dress it up or down to fit most styles.
Slacks are also excellent, as they fit most shirts and jackets. More athletic and casual types could also go for khakis.
Collared and Non-Collared Shits
Depending on the profession and sense of style, you’ll want a mix of shirts and t-shirts all fitting the body type. Avoid graphic T-shirts – most often, they seem too casual.
Jackets
Each man should own at least two suits, blazers, or sport jackets. Of course, if your spouse wears suits every day, more than two is necessary.
Accessories
Finally, you’ll want to add a little something to round off the outfit. Watches are a common choice, but not the only one.
If your husband is more sporty, get him sunglasses or a belt, and if he enjoys being a bit different, a necklace or a gold tie could be great signature accessories. With the right accessories, you’ll have a fashionable husband on your arm.
The Bottom Line
Finally, remember and keep reminding your spouse that confidence isn’t necessary for improving your style. Instead, self-esteem grows as you put more effort into the way you look.
So, if he’s reluctant, urge him to try one outfit. Keep it simple and classic. It will look and feel great, and this quick win can fuel him to keep going and reward you with a fashionable husband.
