5 Professional Styling Tips for Man

Too many young men are starting their professional lives without a clue as to how to dress. It's important to note that it is worth paying attention to your clothing as a young man even if you're working in a field without strict dress codes. Crisp, clean, and well fitted clothing wherever you are at in the world encourages others to take you more seriously.

1. Footwear
Starting from the ground up, appropriate-fitting footwear is the first step to dressing sharp. A traditional school of thought that's still alive and well claims you can judge a man by his shoes.

2. Look
The way you dress is the way you are perceived.If you’re still wearing clothes that scream "student days" you’re going to be treated like a boy with no experience in the real world.Buck the trend, age your look a little, and get the respect you deserve from older men.
That means raiding your wardrobe and getting rid of the majority of your ultra-casual clothes: T-shirts, cargo pants, jean shorts, sweatshirts and sweatpants, baseball hats, and athletics.

3.Trends
Main-stream fashion trends change too fast to make useful wardrobe staples. Most young men don’t have the budget to buy new pants every month or two - so stay away from pants that are only presentable during an "in" season. Stick to classic clothing staples for the core of your wardrobe and avoid anything that’s too far out on the cutting edge - even if you see something that makes it look good.

4.Care
Generally speaking, being young means having less money to throw around.If you’ve shelled out for a few pieces of good, quality clothing - a custom suit, a pair of expensive dress shoes, what have you - it’s worth a few bucks more to keep the clothes in good shape.That means using good hangers for your suits, shoe trees for your shoes, and a little tender loving care with the washing machine. Some of your clothes can come from thrift shops, if you’re lucky enough to have a reasonably common body type and some well-to-do neighborhoods nearby.

5.Suit
No matter what your job is, you’re going to need a decent suit at some point. If you’re in a field where you’re going to wear one regularly you should look for a variety of colors and styles; if you just need a single suit for infrequent dress occasions stick with a classic single-breasted, two-button suit in charcoal gray or navy blue.
