In a perfect world, self-confidence will come from within. Regardless of a guy’s circumstances, if he feels good about himself, he can overcome any obstacle that comes along.
With that being said, it’s time to get real. Sometimes men need an outside source to help boost their self-confidence. Whether it’s a killer new outfit or some flashy accessories, for men who are lacking in the self-confidence department, what they wear can really help boost their sense of worth and feel like they can achieve a more luxe lifestyle.
Fortunately, dressing well and looking amazing is a skill that guys can learn, and with some key style tips, they can feel better about themselves and more luxurious at the same time. For example, consider the following ideas:
Stick With Neutral Colors
When shopping for clothes, The Essential Man advises guys to steer clear of wild prints, logos and graphics; wearing these types of clothing can make it look like guys are still in college or on their way to some sort of athletic event. For a more stylish and luxe feel, stick with neutral colors like white, black, navy, olive and khaki. This color palette will make guys look inherently classy and refined. Brooks Brothers offers a wide selection of uber-stylish chinos and khaki pants that come in a number of neutral tones. When shopping for dress shirts and T-shirts, follow the same advice and go for classic colors instead of gaudy graphics.
Invest in Some Key Accessories
To really pull an outfit together and look high end, don’t forget accessories. You can be wearing a crisp dress shirt and tailored jeans along with stylish shoes, but as Next Luxury notes, if you forget seemingly small details like a watch or a tie clip, you are missing the chance to really pull your look together. If you have the money in your account for a super luxe watch like a Rolex, more power to you. You can also find stylish watches for less, like the Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Stainless Steel casual watch from Amazon.
If you enjoy vaping, you might also want to consider switching your bulky vape to one that is sleek and stylish. For instance, the myblu from blu is compact, easy to tuck into a pocket, and features fast recharging and the ability to switch flavors in seconds with their one-click liquidpods. You’ll look much better and more confident enjoying a sleek vape device than fumbling with a larger e-cig that requires filling the unit with vape juice.
Remember, You Get What You Pay For
If you order steak from a truck stop for $5.99 a plate, it’s not going to be anywhere near the taste and quality of a steak dinner from a high-end restaurant like Fleming’s or Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. The same is true for clothing — basically, it is hard to make great clothes to look good for very little money. So when you are shopping for new items for your wardrobe, remember that better materials and design will cost more, and will probably last longer and look great for years to come.
As much as you can, shop in person for clothing at the highest end stores that you can afford. Take the time to feel the clothing and try things on to get an idea of how much better well-made shirts and pants look and feel. Yes, you may end up paying $200 for a pair of jeans instead of $40, but it will be well worth it for the boost in confidence that it gives you.
The Clothes Help Make the Man
For guys who are looking for a boost in their confidence, having a great-looking wardrobe can help. By sticking with classic styles and colors, investing in some stylish accessories and always investing in the best-quality items your budget will allow, you will end up feeling more confident and enjoying a more luxe life.
