Accessories, color and the right fit make any man hot
I'm sure this scenario has happened to the best of us: you're getting ready for a night out, trying on the best shirts and jeans from your collection. You don't know what to wear, but when you find that killer outfit, you feel unstoppable.
Looking and feeling fantastic, you head out the door and into your favorite party destination, only to see a guy standing there with the same outfit as you.
This happens not only because of the lack of fashion know-how, but because as unemployed college students, it is quite difficult for us to rock a new, innovative outfit every Friday and Saturday that will make us as the center of attention anywhere we go. So, the next best thing is to make do with what we've got.
By using items from your fashion repertoire, and by following a few simple rules, you can be the best-dressed anywhere you go. Below are some simple rules that I feel as guys, we often neglect.
Rule 1: Know your colors
I can not stress how important this is. Knowing your colors can make even the most simple outfit soar. It is essential that you figure out what colors flatter your skin and work best for you.
The criteria for this is predominantly dependent on the skin tone, but eye and hair color play a strong role as well. There are many Web sites dedicated to finding what colors compliment you best, but in the end, it's up to you to figure that out.
Try on a few simple colored shirts. Ask yourself if that color brings out your skin tone, hair color or eye color. Flatter yourself. For extra help, take the color quiz on www.stylemakeovers.com.
Now, I'm not saying that you should go all James St. James, however, use the colors to your advantage. Mix and match. I've always read and been told that three colors is the max.
Rule 2: Size does matter
Don't worry, we're talking fashion here. Surely we miss the '90s, but we must accept one important fact: That time is over. Leave the baggy clothing behind. I have seen countless guys wearing fantastic pieces of clothes, but they just don't fit - and as a result look sloppy.
