Wearing to many colours
. Limit each of your outfits to a maximum of three colours or shades to maintain a coordinated look. Colours opposite each other are called “analogous colours”. When putting together an outfit, stick to complementary and analogous colours and remember that less is more.
Wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie
. Unless you work for a fast food joint – where sleeves will probably get dirty while making sandwiches – avoid wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie. They are generally perceived as lower class apparel. If you want to stay looking professional and confident, stick to long sleeve shirts.
Dirty Shoes
. It’s an area that too many guys overlook in terms of cleaning and proper care. A stylish man keeps his shoes clean – free of scratches and dirt.
Warped shoes
. Keep at least two parts of dress shoes in the same colour so you can let one pair rest for a day from sweat and stretching. Doing this prevents them from wrapping. Place a pair of shoetrees in your shoes when you’re not wearing them to maintain their best form.
Improper trouser Length
. Don’t fold up your jeans or your chinos unless it’s some sort of fashion statement that you’re making. Your trousers can come down to the bottom of your shoes but make sure they come just above the floor to avoid any unwanted fraying. Also, you only need a slight break, or crease, in the leg of the trousers. Don’t be the guy who has his feet swimming in a bunch of extra fabric. All it takes is a simple trip to the tailor to get them hemmed.
