Help for Men to Dress Well

It is a well known theory that some men go out looking as though they either got dressed in the dark or suffer from color blindness. Some men just do not have a flair for fashion. Indeed, sometimes it is not even about being fashionable but dressing with a little style, which can go a long way.

Smart Dress

For dinner parties, society functions or special occasions, smart dress is required. This type of attire usually consists of a suit and tie. Special functions may require top and tales with a white tie. Some social functions will require black tie.

Smart Casual

One golden rule of dressing is to never wear more than three colors. For example, with casual dressing choosing neutral colors of various shades works well. Dark trousers with a light plain shirt also look handsome. If you wish to wear a plaid shirt, wear plain trousers, not patterned.

Casual

Casual can be jeans, track suit bottoms, shorts or corduroys. The shirt would be a T-shirt or polo shirt, depending on where you are and what you are doing. Casual dress is not so precise as smart or smart casual. There are some rules of thumb that apply, such as not wearing socks with sandals, but some men just prefer to ignore that rule.
