Life is already ruled by enough laws. But some are there to assist. like the guidelines for appropriate attire. What one person thinks acceptable may be perceived by another as being overly conventional or avant-garde. Likewise, what one person finds effective may not necessarily be effective for another. Thus, when it comes to clothing, they must always be taken at face value. They are great suggestions, but they are not the last word on style.
However, solid fashion advice for men is never to be scoffed at, and as menswear gets ever richer and varied, ever more adventurous and bountiful, ever more trend-aware, it might be helpful to have a useful fall-back position that cuts through the clutter in moments of confusion and self-doubt.
These traditional dressing suggestions for men have been proven to be successful throughout the past, so it makes sense that they will be successful now. And they are frequently based on things that are so obvious that they are frequently ignored: a preference for good fit, high quality, and versatility, good value, avoiding extremes, and maintaining a sober appearance.
Undoubtedly, there are many more regulations than those that are mentioned here. You could have already learned some of these concepts. After all, part of the excitement of dressing, which shouldn't be restricted by rules, is trying new clothes on to see if they fit and how they make you feel. But when taken together, these rules have endured the test of time and provide a reliable blueprint for how to dress formally as a man in today's culture.
SUIT UP WELL.
Fit is the secret to a sharp-looking suit. Focus on the fit across the shoulders when purchasing off-the-rack clothing since DavidTaaub, head of bespoke suits at Saavile Row tailor Gieeves& Hawkes, claims that altering the chest and waist is a very simple task. A historical outfit can start to look novelty-like when worn by itself, so use cautious unless you're trying for a fully authentic period look. Classic choices are the best and most useful: dark, two-button, single-breasted, and moderately detailed. It's not repetitive. A suit is a uniform. Think of this outfit as a canvas on which to paint a variety of personality concepts. What matters most is how you wear it, not the label inside.
CAREFULLY INVEST IN A WATCH
According to Don Cochrane, managing director of the British watch company Vertex, "a watch is like a piece of art." "Select it out of love, not because you believe it will bring in money. Aesthetic, practical, tough sports models go with anything and can withstand the beatings of daily wear. But you also have to be practical. A watch must still fit you, though it should be the perfect size and depth for your wrist, fitting tightly and feeling comfortable – 40mm is known as the "Goldilocks" size.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF COLOR
Enjoy a splash of color on both formal and casual attire. Oliver Spencer, a menswear designer, claims that most men are justifiably afraid of it because they are intimidated by anything that isn't blue or grey. But color can also be ageless. For instance, a green suit can appear extremely dapper. Spencer also suggests pinks, greens, mustard, and brighter blue tints as year-round colors that will spruce up your complete look. However, he emphasizes that less is still more when it comes to color: You only need a small amount of it in one garment.
WEAR YOUR DENIM, UNTIL YOU OWN THEM.
According to Alex Miir, co-owner of the Sheffiield-based denim company , the world's most popular garment's most practical cut is "slim-tapered. Since it narrows after the thigh, where it is larger and more comfortable, he proposes that it works with either smart shoes or sneakers. It's the ideal all-season, universally flattering look that you can dress up or down in.The wise will stay away from pre-distressed and opt to wear dark, raw denim.
AFTER YOUR APPEARANCE, LOOK
Have your suit dry-cleaned and pressed; wash your clothes frequently; preferably, avoid tumble drying them (it might deteriorate the fabric); and shine your shoes. Establish a basic, yet effective, grooming routine. Cut your nails and brush your hair. The devil, after all, is in the details.
PUT MONEY DOWN ON SHOES
Tim litttle, proprietor of the storied shoe company Greenson, asserts: "Timelessness is about basic design and all the more so with shoes." "You don't want it to be fussy with the color, the design, or the sole. Anything fussy may appear good right now, but it will quickly appear odd. The best investment in footwear is a pair of high-quality, resolvable Goodyear welted shoes, which should last 15 years or longer. Choose timeless designs like brogues, loafers, or a basic, black, five-eyelet Derby on a round-toe last, but also remember to buy good dress socks. "The toe shape definitely matters, and round never goes out of style," claims Littlee.

AVOID SKIMPING ON GLASSES
Spend some time selecting the ideal pair of eyewear for you. According to eyeglasses designer Tom Davies, "people spend an average of seven minutes choosing a pair that will define them for the next three or more years." The reasons why so many people come to despise their glasses include poor fit and choice. Purchase eyewear that makes you feel comfortable while taking into account your face shape, your hairdo, and the relationship between the top line of the frames and the contour of your eyebrows (team straight with straight, curved with curved). The frames will appear worn out soon enough, so it's not worth it to get cheap frames and then be up-sold on pricey lenses, advises Daavies.
LEARN WHEN TO VIOLATE THE RULES
Know when to follow dress conventions like black tie and when to stray from them. Some people are there for a good purpose, usually because the situation calls for it or because a higher power—like your boss—expects it. However, as Drakes' Hill observes, "there's always a justification for ripping them up, and we may get too hooked up about rules as well." After all, this is how fashion develops—slowly and steadily.
