How to dress in tradition way

Too many young men are starting their professional
lives without a clue as to how to dress.
This needs to change; young men are the future
leaders of society and dressing professionally is the
first step towards becoming professional.
And although clothing does not make the man – the
right clothing can give him precious seconds to
make his case and influence others.
It’s important to note that it is worth paying some
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.
Below are 9 Tips for Dressing
sharp as a young man.
Tip #1 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Dress Your
Footwear Up
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. If
you’ve never owned really good shoes before, brace
yourself and get ready to pay a significant amount
of money for well-made, classic footwear .
You may be shocked at the sticker price for well-
crafted shoes, but the quality and comfort pay
dividends down the road. A good pair of dress
shoes will last you years and stay good-looking with
nothing more than some light cleaning and the
occasional shine. Quality leather footwear isn’t a
luxury for the excessively rich — it’s a necessity
for any man.
Tip #2 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Dress to
Look Older
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. Save a
few for yardwork and exercise — but donate the
rest of it to charity and start replacing it with
dressier clothes that speak to your maturity.
Tip #3 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Ignore
Fashion 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. Distressed
or bleached jeans are a great example; several
different designer labels briefly managed to sell
the image on the public, and then the fad changed
and left a lot of people with very expensive jeans
too beat-up to wear in public.
Stick to classic clothing staples for the core of
your wardobe and avoid anything that’s too far out
on the cutting edge — even if you see something
that makes it look good.
Tip #4 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Take Care
of Your Clothing.
Generally speaking, being young means having less
money to throw around. That means making your
investments last. 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. A few adjustments from a
tailor can turn a five dollar thrift-store suit into
your dress wardrobe staple. Just take care of it
and protect your bigger investments with some
proper maintenance!
Tip #5 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Have at
Least One Good Suit in the Closet
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.
If you’re buying off the rack take the time to
have the suit adjusted. A few department stores
still offer the service, but you’ll more than likely
need to find a tailor independently. It’s worth the
effort — sized suits are made to general
measurements, and not all of them are going to be
a perfect fit for you. A good tailor can make the
small changes that take your suit from looking
mediocre to perfect for you.
Tip #6 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Build from
White and Blue Shirts
White and light blue cotton dress shirts are the
backbone to a sharp wardrobe. Much of this lies in
the fact both of these colors make up
approximately 90% of the dress shirts sold
worldwide and that either color looks good on most
complexions and body types. Being so popular,
these shirt fabrics are also available in a wide
range of style and sizes anywhere int he world,
making acquisition at a value price likely for the
man on the lookout for sales and discounts.
Patterns can liven up the basic white and blue color
palette, and there’s nothing wrong with branching
out into some other colors as your personal style
evolves. Just have a good core of white and blue
dress shirts. As long as you have one clean and
hanging up in the closet, you’ll never be completely
out of decent-looking things to wear.
Tip #7 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Have Some
Dark, Fitted Jeans — and Know When to Wear Them
Jean styles are always changing: rips, tears, acid
and bleach washing, distressed, stone washed, boot
cut, wide leg, low rise, skinny; baggy. Keep it
simple with and stick to fitted jeans in a dark
color, sans fading or rips. You can wear them with
a fitted T-shirt for a relaxed, casual look or dress
them up with a buttoned shirt and a sport coat for
a business-casual style.
Tip #8 for Sharp-Dressed Men: Look beyond
Denim
Well cut and classically styled trousers will make
you look a little sharper at social occasions than
jeans. They’re less common in a young crowd, so
you’ll already be standing out, and a good pair of
slacks has a drape and crease that looks much
crisper than denim. You can also get wool or cotton
trousers much lighter than blue jeans, which is a
blessing in any kind of warm weather.
Tip # 9 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Replace T-
shirts with Polos and Sport Shirts
Wearing T-shirts to the gym or when you are
performing house chores is fine. But wearing T-
shirts to social events or to work is a no-no,
especially when the shirt is too big and made from
a shoddy fabric advertising the company who gave
it to you a decade ago. A good polo in a simple,
dark color is always presentable and always
flattering if it’s fitted well. You can also opt for
buttoned short-sleeved shirts in the summer,
ranging from Carhartt work shirts to seersucker
dress shirts. If you do wear a T-shirt, make sure
it’s new, clean, close-fitted and in a solid, dark
color.

wear a suit, and we wear a dress shoes. But
