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.

When we talk about hair, it is easy to forget the men of the world. So much attention is given to women’s hair and styles that men are often kind of left on the sidelines with a confused look on their faces. When it comes to men’s hair, there are a few tried and true tips to follow that will keep you looking good and well-groomed without making you go out on a limb with a new style. Keeping within these tips will help you stay off the metaphorical “worst hair” lists of your life.
As a general rule, men should keep their hair, at a minimum, shoulder length. This of course depends on your personal style and whether your face and style can handle longer hair, but having hair that is longer than should length can do a lot toward making you look more womanly than manly, and even help you be taken less seriously in work and other areas of your life. If you opt for long hair, it is an absolute must to take good care of this long style so that you look well-groomed and not grungy.
Another good rule of thumb about men’s hair has to do with coloring. Generally speaking, it is more acceptable for men to “grow old gracefully” and allow a little gray to stay than it is for women. Men are often thought to look more mature, distinguished and even more handsome with a little gray, whereas women rarely allow gray hair to take over. Try asking the stylist to leave in a little gray when you get colored to keep that distinguished look in your life.
