Dress Code Tips For Men

Dress Code Tips For Men 2011

Schools, offices, clubs, groups, and even families can potentially have dress codes that you have to follow. So how do you as a modern man get around those dress codes to let your uniqueness shine through? The good news is that dressing stylishly and confidently is possible even with the strictest of dress codes – the trick is working yourself into the existing rules.

Shorts – it can be tough to wear shorts with style if you are limited in what type and style you are allowed to wear. To get around this rule, try wearing a unique and stylish belt, or buy shorts in unique fabrics (think corduroy, khaki or camo) in order to stand out from the crowd. Button downs – try wearing a fun buttonhole or adding manly and stylish buttons onto the shirt for a fun twist.

Shoes – shoes are fortunately the most fun and workable aspects of a dress code. Unless your work or school offers activities in which certain shoes can hurt you, it is likely that they will be the best aspect to play around with. Try adding bright colored shoe strings in your sneakers, or wearing classy flip flops in leather or woven fabrics.

Ties – One of the first things people will see in your uniform or outfit, ties can be tricky to get around in the dress code. Instead of fighting whether to wear them, however, look for extra skinny or wide ties in fun patterns and designs (usually as long as there’s nothing offensive, it will work) to find a unique look in your own personal style.

MEN’S FASHION – OFFICE LOOK

MEN’S FASHION – OFFICE LOOK

Working in an office for a man can be complicated, more so than for a woman, and especially when it comes to dressing the part. Men are often tricked into believing that dressing for an office job is easy because it’s a simple suit and tie type of dress code. What they may not realize is that buying and shopping for suits can be very confusing, because there are so many different aspects of office wear that are confusing. A few tricks can help you shop smart and still be stylish as a male in your office, however.

One of the best things you can do when dressing to impress in your office area is to go with classic looks that never really go out of style. This is perfect for the man who has a lot of trouble or little time to keep up with the latest fashions for men when it comes to the office look. Try finding button downs and ties in neutral colors, finding that classic suit and buying it in several colors, or wearing clothes that universally look good on you, so much so that it doesn’t matter if they’re out of season.

Another thing you can do is to notice what your colleagues wear on a daily basis. This will be helpful because you don’t want to be wearing a full suit when your co-workers refuse to and only wear their button downs and ties, with the sleeves rolled up and ties loosened. This will help you because you may not have to worry as much about the office fashion period.
