Basic rules for choosing an outfit

Perfect fit. Clothing should sit on the figure - no folds, excessively tight or sagging areas. Finding the right outfit can be difficult, in which case it is worth contacting a good tailor or find an atelier to adjust the silhouette.
Simplicity and elegance. Style and colors should be extremely concise. Basic wardrobe items in deep shades will help to look stylish. Avoid prints, bright patterns, horizontal stripes, large geometric patterns.
Quality lightweight fabric. Choose a soft, wrinkle-resistant material that is breathable. Heavy textile ( corduroy, thick denim, tweed, etc.) gives the silhouette extra volume, makes the figure more squat.
Refrain from tightening. Shapewear, corsets and other tricks designed to make you visually slimmer deprive you of comfort. You can’t wear tight clothes every day, and constant pressure will make you look insecure and nervous.

Replace the belt with button-down suspenders. So the pants will not slip under the stomach. The classic suspenders are back in style, but require pants with a slightly higher waist.
Put on your hat. She will be the final touch of the image, turning almost any outfit into a weekend outfit.
Get big accessories. A respectable man should acquire attributes proportional to his figure ( ties, ballpoint pens, hours). This will make the image more harmonious.
Give up the habit of putting little things in your pockets. Better get an elegant bag for this.
Pick up

Talking about men's fashion in the circles of real men seems to be not accepted. Real men, I mean those whose interests are mainly based on work, career, cars, sports, travel, hobbies, hobbies ... in general, those whom we, women, prefer to marry. Usually they don’t rack their brains over what to wear in the morning, they hate shopping (if it’s not a hunter and fisherman’s store), they think about their wardrobe when they run out of clean shirts and T-shirts, they can walk in jeans alone, they buy new shoes only if the old one is worn out, and pockets are used instead of bags and briefcases. It’s good when you have a wife or a girl who knows everything about fashion, is aware of the latest trends and not only women’s, is subscribed to the coolest fashionistas in the world on Instagram and will help you choose the right things. Or better yet, have your own stylist who knows which store, what exactly and when to buy.

But we, women, are well aware of how important it is to make a first impression on an employer/partner, to look appropriate for the situation, status, and ourselves, being connoisseurs of beauty, will quickly pay attention to a well-dressed man. By the way, I met one of my gentlemen precisely because he was dressed in a classic electric blue coat. But he really was a foreigner. And one of my friends, after another post about men from street style fashion shows in Italy, said: “Anechka, everything, of course, is very beautiful ... but where is street style, and where are we, Russian men!”

So, my hero is a young Russian man from 30 to 40 years old who spends a lot of time in his study or office without a strict dress code, whose working day consists of meetings / negotiations with partners, who knows the value of time and himself, earns enough, grew out of stretched T-shirts and boring blacks. Such a man, on a trip abroad, will definitely run into a couple of boutiques for shopping, he wants to look appropriate for his position, respectably, feel comfortable and confident, dress stylishly, interesting, but not pretentious, like women. Such requests come to me from male clients. And it's not very difficult to assemble a basic men's wardrobe. Let's get started!

1. Buy a good expensive coat

The coat is a win-win. A man in a coat always looks elegant. It should be the ideal silhouette for you, repeat the lines of the figure, be of excellent quality, be sure to overlap your jackets along the length, be comfortable so that in cold weather you can put on a sweater or a down vest under it and drive safely.

Now it is worn not only with suits, but also with jeans, sneakers or sneakers.

2. You must have at least 1 suit

It can be blue, gray, checkered - leave black for the holidays. I mean a suit for everyday wear: we have long called casual, under it you can wear not only a shirt with a tie, but also a turtleneck, a thin sweater or pullover, and suits are now fashionable and can be worn with polo and sneakers.

The suit should be woolen or tweed, have 100% wool or a mixture of wool with silk / cashmere, for summer - with cotton and linen (wool should be more than half), the lining should also be made of natural silk or viscose so that the body is comfortable.

By the way, dark brown shoes have long been replaced by black ones, and with a blue suit you can put on brown shoes of a natural red color. As for the belt, it does not have to match the tone of the shoes, but if you have brown shoes, then the belt may be a little lighter or darker colors shoes, but not black.

3. Shirts

If you are a fan of shirts, then there should be at least 7 of them in your wardrobe, not including white ones. It is better to buy blue or white as the main one, but with a small pattern, a thin stripe or a colored check.

Dark blue and burgundy shirts will look great under a gray suit. I name those colors that suit almost everyone - blondes, brunettes, and fair-haired, which we have in Russia the majority.

White shirts are also a must, but you can save them for special occasions, as well as shirts with cufflinks. If you wear pants without a jacket, buy yourself a couple of patterned shirts that reflect your hobby or passion, so to speak, a shirt with meaning.

They do not fit under a suit, but with trousers, a pullover or a cardigan it will be fine. Now a denim shirt is also in use as the main one - it is worn with a tie, and with a suit, and under a blazer. But not with denim pants!

And one more thing: plaid shirts from “ Timberland”- still sports, it is better to leave them for the weekend!

4. Polo

In addition to shirts, it is good to have a polo: in summer - with short sleeve, at other times - with a long one.

Choose interesting, rich colors and wear them under blazers and classic wool trousers with pleats for a more presentable look than with jeans.

Shoes can be both sports and classic.

A polo with jeans - a good option for the day off.

5. Stylish jacket

It seems to me that the search takes the most time stylish jacket or a blazer, as they say now. You must have a blazer!

Such a jacket can be made of wool, tweed, plain, plaid or thick knitwear. Better yet, buy all three at once!

This is the most common type of casual jacket that you can wear with dress pants, cotton pants (sellers in men's stores like to call them chinos), and jeans.

By the way, knitted jackets sit well even on those who do not suit classic jackets: they look more relaxed, of course, but fashionable.

Just don't confuse it with a classic suit jacket: blazers are sold separately.

6. Pants

Pants in your wardrobe should be at least 3 pairs, not counting those from the suit.

Some are classic with arrows, blue or gray, the second - chinos (I call them pants) - light: they are of the same style and cut as jeans, only made of cotton. White ones are not suitable for our winter, but beige or light brown (cocoa color, forgive me, not artists) - that's it. And the look will not be very formal, because light trousers are usually worn on vacation, and with a jacket it looks stylish.

And let the third pair of trousers be an unusual color - bright blue, mustard, red, green, wine-colored (or Marsala color is now fashionable, some of my male clients are already familiar with this color). Don't be afraid to experiment!

Yes, I didn’t count jeans, meaning that they are definitely in your wardrobe, and not alone.

7. Knitwear - sweater, pullover, cardigan

Be sure to have high-quality knitted items made of fine wool, cotton, cashmere.

Always look at the composition on the label: if you see the inscription "polyester 100%", immediately put it back - in things made of artificial fabric, the body will be uncomfortable, and some even have an allergy.

These sweaters look spectacular with classic trousers, and they can be worn under a jacket in the cold season.

Pay attention to the fact that these things fit well, fit the figure correctly, do not fit the stomach, do not pull under the arms, and there would be a little room in the sleeve for a shirt if you plan to wear it under knitwear.

Crew neck sweaters can be worn on their own, with a V-neck - on a shirt, cardigans (this is a button-down sweater) are worn on both shirts and T-shirts.

Choose tight machine knitting: such sweaters look more neat and presentable, and knitted with large pigtails and with a big neck and deer, let your mothers and beloved girls give you for Christmas (or if the stylist advises this, knowing exactly what it suits you !).

You see how simple everything is: just 7 wardrobe items, and you look elegant, stylish and respectable. If suddenly you find that you are missing something, immediately run to the store! Because further I will talk about accessories - shoes, briefcases, bags, watches - they should be High Quality and expensive, and this is a separate expense item and a separate shopping trip. I’m not saying yet that there are necessarily fashionable bombers, sweatshirts, down vests and jackets, cardigans with soft collars, wide trousers fashionable this season, as in the 30s, leather jackets etc. But this is a completely different story, but for now we are collecting a high-quality basic wardrobe!

There is a huge selection of original items for the fair sex. But it is worth considering that stylish clothes for women after 40 are minimalism. After all, it is restraint that characterizes the impeccable taste of a mature lady. In the right clothes, she will look charming and unforgettable.

Fashion for men of different age categories at different times of the year

The style of clothing for men aged 45-50, of course, is different from what twenty-year-olds wear. Starting from the age of 30, a man becomes more mature and wealthy, and, accordingly, the hooligan style no longer suits him. To understand how to dress, starting from the age of 30, it is worth considering this issue closer.
