What to wear for a man over 30. elements of a man's basic wardrobe

For men, 30 years is the age when goals are defined, knowledge and experience produce results, and clothing has its own style. If the image has not changed over the past 12 years, you should think about it and start experimenting.

There are 10 things that a man must have in his wardrobe:

1. Expensive suit. The product must be made of natural fabric. In the summer season, cotton or linen is an excellent option. A silk suit is a sign of wealth and luxurious life, which is ideal at any time of the year and will look chic and stylish. Wool is considered a universal fabric for a suit. On the website bq-concept.com.ua you can choose clothes for any season, taste and budget.

2. Men's bag. A good bag should be fashionable, with a minimal amount of decoration, spacious, and made of high-quality material. Such an accessory is not only a practical thing, but also a symbol of success. Black or brown men's bags are considered respectable. Style and masculinity are emphasized - strict and conservative models.

3. Wallet. Old and shabby is unacceptable, and also spoils the appearance of the owner of the accessory.

When choosing, you should give preference to discreet models that are reliable and easy to use: the presence of compartments for bills, coins, business cards and bank cards.

4. Mobile phone. Quite a serious choice, as the phone will emphasize status and good taste.

Accessories with floral patterns, various delicate shades and colored inserts should be avoided. Only a strict phone with a plain body. Suitable colors are black, steel and grey.

5. Nice shoes. A classic pair is a must-have item in a man's wardrobe. Brown shoes are considered luxurious and noble. Black shoes are suitable for special occasions.

The main rule is always clean and well-groomed shoes, in good condition!

6. Sports shirt. A T-shirt is a comfortable garment, but it is best left for sports or household chores. It is not recommended to wear a T-shirt to the office or to events, so you should have at least one sports shirt in your wardrobe.

7. Expensive watches are, first of all, reliability and durability, as well as a profitable investment in your own style. By the watch, others judge a man's social status and wealth. In addition, checking the time on a mobile phone is not always convenient.

8. Good sneakers. Even if sports are not your main hobby, there should be a good pair: for picnics, relaxation or an evening walk with your pet.

9. Sunglasses. This fashion accessory is an essential element in the wardrobe of a modern man. Your vision and appearance depend on the correct choice of glasses. For office environments and beach walks, you need to choose different options.

10. Handle. Today, stationery is not just a necessary item for writing, but also an indispensable accessory for every successful person. This does not mean that you need to choose a gold-plated or lacquer handle with a velvety polish. It is enough to purchase an item in a simple style, without unnecessary additions, and use it when signing.

A harmonious combination in clothing, behavior and lifestyle will help a man be stylish and elegant at any age.

Yes, yes, the experience will be personal, because... In our family, everyone does what they can do better than their partner. That is why I am responsible for my husband’s clothes.

Since I lived in Italy and worked for several years with Italian manufacturers of men's classic clothing, the Italian approach to men's style is close to me. Italians pay great attention to detail, combine several colors in a suit, not limited to gray, black and blue, prefer narrowed, fitted silhouettes, and love prints. It’s not for nothing that they are considered the main fashionistas on the planet.

Initial data: office work without a strict dress code (a suit is required, but there are no requirements for the color of a shirt, for example), a management position in a large company, tall height, large size of everything, including legs and head.

The wardrobe is divided into 2 parts: office wear And weekend clothes. They may overlap.

Attention! Everything below is a personal opinion based on personal experience. You and your husband can dress as you see fit.

Office wear

The main thing in the wardrobe is everything that the husband wears to the office. It can be costumes or jackets and trousers, which are purchased separately and can be used in several sets. There are more autumn-winter-spring clothes than summer ones for objective reasons: our summer is much shorter than the cold period.

The basis - costumes. Only wool (no one takes suits made from other materials seriously, right?), gray or blue. The density of the fabric varies depending on the season - thinner and slightly lighter suits for summer, darker and denser for winter. Plain fabrics, thin stripes, wider stripes. Single-breasted, 2 buttons or giacca 3 bottoni stirata a 2 - “3 buttons ironed like 2”, sorry, I don’t know what it’s called in Russian, a modification popular among Italians. Trousers are of standard width, rarely tapered. Most often with a cuff of 4-4.5 cm. Sometimes - with folds at the waist.

Below are options for what, from a stylistic point of view, looks decent, relevant and appropriate. Notice that no one is wearing black shoes: even the ones in the middle turn out to be dark brown. However, about shoes below.

The bad thing about suits is that trousers break down much faster than jackets, so I prefer to either buy suits from brands where it is possible to buy 2 trousers at once, or negotiate with the sellers to supply a second pair from the factory. When I myself was engaged in men's clothing, I bought paired trousers from the factory with which I worked.

It is precisely because trousers last much less than jackets that I really like to combine jackets and trousers from different fabrics. Attention! It should not be a jacket and trousers from different suits or a jacket from a suit that ruined the trousers! The classic option is a blue blazer and gray trousers, plain or striped. Or a gingham shaggy wool jacket and dark blue thick wool trousers. Or a cashmere gray herringbone blazer and dark charcoal trousers. An option for Friday is a camel-colored jacket made of thick wool and dark blue or dark gray trousers. In the summer, on days when there are no negotiations or meetings, it can be gray or gray-beige, medium-tone lightweight wool trousers and a dark blue unlined blazer or jacket made of a linen and wool mixture. Attention! Linen jackets are not worn to the office according to the dress code! In order for me to feel calm, I need to have something hanging in my husband’s closet. 4-5 suits for the season and 2-3 pairs of jacket + trousers, then I will have time to take them to dry cleaning and repairs, if necessary, the clothes will be able to take a break from wear and will last longer

For suits and jackets you need shirts. I think everyone knows well that short-sleeved shirts in office colors are worn only in Russia and Germany and they do it in vain. The sleeves are only long, even in summer. The density of the fabric depends on the season - denser in winter, lighter in summer. Primary colors - blue in different shades and white. You can play with the texture of the fabric, with the width of the stripe and its contrast, with cuffs (with or without cufflinks), with the width and shape of the collar (wide open French or narrower Italian), with stitching, with the lining of the collar and cuffs, with initials. My husband really loves blue, plain, striped or even checkered shirts with white cuffs for cufflinks and white collars. A bit of a kitsch option, but on the whole I welcome it, I think it suits him very well. I don’t know how many shirts my husband has, more than thirty for sure, they occupy 2 large drawers in the closet.

Needed for shirts ties. My husband’s love for them is boundless; there are a hundred of them in the closet, if not more. The most numerous are silk, although there are also woolen, cashmere and even knitted (for Friday). There are all sorts of drawings - bunnies, elephants, polka dots, checkered patterns, stripes, dots, squiggles, and cucumbers. The tie should be in contrast to the shirt and suit; it is actually the main accessory, so if the dress code is not strict, then you can play as you like.

A tie is required handkerchief. I asked my husband about what the men in their office looked like, and he told me that almost no one wears scarves in their breast pockets. But in vain! In my opinion, this is a very important accessory. Attention! No need to use matching scarves and ties! I choose scarves and ties from different fabrics, with different patterns, but harmonizing with each other in tone and color. Something one may be brighter than the other: For example, a light blue solid tie with a jacquard pattern and a scarf that uses navy blue, light blue and orange in a floral or abstract pattern. A red tie with slanted blue and white stripes and a blue scarf with red trim and small anchors as a design (in the summer, of course). White linen scarves with different edgings are very good - they match almost all ties and very refresh the entire look. On Friday, when a tie is optional, I use only a scarf and choose the brightest one. A man in a suit, but without a scarf, looks, in my opinion, half undressed.

Another option for a Friday in the office or for a weekend is cashmere or wool jumper with a V-neck, worn over a shirt, sometimes complemented by a wool, thick silk, knitted or cashmere tie. Pairs with wool trousers with creases and cuffs, blue or grey. Sometimes a jacket is put on over the jumper (not the one from the suit), but rarely, the husband complains, says that it is hot.

Outerwear. In autumn - classic beige trench coat, late autumn and warm winter - wool coat(it was black, this year I want to buy a new one, dark blue, gray or beige), in winter - dark blue coat with a small fur collar and warm lining, jacket a la parka. In the fall, my husband sometimes wears a Bavarian hat with his coat (I don’t insist that this is a basic thing, rather, it’s used for fun and a bit of shock value), and in winter, a cashmere hat. But since he drives to and from work in a car, the hat most often lies in his pocket.

Shoes. There are no black shoes as a class - it looks very rude with a day suit (especially if these are not John Lobb shoes, but inexpensive black boots bought for their versatility), and my husband doesn’t have tuxedos, so that’s why there are no black shoes. Brown shoes, smooth leather, preforated or suede are chosen depending on the degree of formality of the suit and the situation. Worn at any time of the year, except for very severe winter. For severe winter, you need the same ones, only with fur or with a fur insole, in which case you should change your shoes in the office.

Scarves- an important element of clothing. I love voluminous ones, with prints or beautiful textures, my husband has a lot of them. Most often - fine wool or cashmere. They are worn with outerwear and perform both a decorative function and protect from cold and wind.

I forgot one more important element - socks! Only long, ending at the knee, either to match the shoes, or to match the trousers, or moderately contrasting. I love brown, gray, blue, blue with specks or not too noticeable checks, brown with specks or checks, textured rib. In the warm season - cotton, in winter - cotton with cashmere.

Weekend clothes

There is less of it than for the office, because, unfortunately, there are very few weekends in my husband’s life.

Used on weekends jackets(those that are not from suits), dark blue jeans(heavier for winter, lighter for summer), chinos gray or khaki, beige lightweight chinos (when it’s really hot or at a resort), cashmere, wool or cotton V-neck jumpers, shirts(both those that are suitable for the office, and those that have a brighter tone or pattern like Vichy check), polo shirts with both short and long sleeves, cardigans. Cotton is used at resorts shorts knee-length and basic white t-shirts.

From shoes - boots with rough soles, leather sneakers. In summer - yacht boots, moccasins(on bare feet!).

Outerwear- jackets a la parka, wool down jacket (looks much more elegant than a regular one!), duffle coat, short double-breasted pea coats, trench coat. Hats, scarves - depending on the situation.

To the exit

We didn’t find ourselves in a situation with black tie or white tie, so either a pair is used most often for the exit blue blazer+gray trousers, or t dark gray or dark blue suit with a matching shirt and a colorful scarf. Sometimes a pair of blazer + trousers is complemented by a bow tie (not silk, but a more textured one, wool, for example). Always a bright scarf in my pocket, matching the tone and mood with my clothes (if I plan to go out together). The way out is to go to the theater, to the conservatory, to a restaurant, both in Moscow and abroad.

Briefcases and bags

I don't like black briefcases. The closet contains leather briefcases in brown, wine, bright blue, dark blue, and khaki. The briefcase must be in harmony with the overall tone and concept of the image; I have no other requirements. A briefcase with a long strap is worn to the office on Friday with more casual clothes, all others have one handle - on top. On weekends, I also use a backpack; I stopped trying to wear it with a suit to the office, despite protests from the series “Everyone walks like that in the City.” I do not know anything! From what is necessary and also available: nice suitcase, one smaller, the second larger for business trips of different durations, holdall for suits.

Cufflinks and watches

Husband wears wedding ring, no other decorations. Cufflinks are chosen according to taste and situation, there are wooden, metal, fabric upholstered, glass, amber and even lava. Most often worn are basic metal ones. About watch I could go on for a long time, but I’ll say one thing: a good and expensive watch has never made anyone’s image worse, provided, of course, that it matches their status and suit.

How to dress a big man

In principle, the rules here are the same as with a big woman - tight-fitting silhouettes, lack of bagginess, precisely tailored clothing, which is neither small nor great anywhere. I choose well-fitting jackets, trousers with clear creases, slightly cropped (no folds in the front of the shoes), be sure to have cuffs on the trousers, the sleeves of the jacket should allow you to see the cuffs on the shirt. In short, the less laxity, the better, which is why I carefully choose accessories, believing that they make the image more put together. What looks like slight negligence on a thin person will look like sloppiness on a citizen (or citizen) with curves.

Brands and stores

We rarely buy clothes in Moscow due to our inadequate prices. I love Bosco and Microdina discounts, you can actually find sizes 58-60 there, which is not, for example, in TsUM. Sometimes we can go to Lady&Gentleman. We don’t buy shoes in Moscow, because only Salamander and others like them will fit on size 47 feet. The last few pairs were bought in Paris. We buy suits in Italy, in Germany, but most of all I love men's shopping in London. There are no problems with sizes, an excellent choice of both fabrics and silhouettes. Of the London shops, my favorite is Marks&Spencer, which has nothing in common with the nightmare that is sold in these stores here. There are suits made of good wool, cashmere jackets, excellent coats, and shirts for every taste and size, as well as a bunch of socks, underwear, gloves, belts and everything a gentleman needs. In addition, it is very convenient - I took my husband to the fitting room, took one consultant and in an hour bought everything I wanted in one store - and went to buy dresses! Good selection of men's clothing John Lewis and Peter Johns. In London there is often not enough time for all the cool British men's brands located in individual stores.

In Italy we buy in Pal Zileri, Corneliani, Canali, Brioni, Ermenegildo Zegna and Boggi Milano We buy shirts, ties and knitwear from various local shops. In Berlin and Vienna we go to Peek&Cloppenburg for casual clothes and Hugo Boss suits, although I don’t really like suits from this brand. Barcelona, ​​Madrid and Porto have an excellent selection of plus size men's clothing in El Corte Inglés, there is a special department there. We buy accessories like scarves, shawls and bags wherever we like - from Hermes to small local niche brands.

As a conclusion, I want to say that we need to stop buying suits, their need to be sewn to order- here, in Italy or in the UK. It's much better and cheaper than running around stores looking for the right thing.

If you are tormented by questions about the compatibility of socks and shoes, how to choose a tie for a suit, whether it is possible to wear the same suit in the evening that is suitable for the office, as well as some other style issues, then I highly recommend the section

Let me guess... You want to dress well, but you don't know how.

You have not previously shown much interest in your own clothing style, and you have never had an instinct for how to dress properly. You just have no idea where to start or what to focus on.

And you know what? You're not the only guy trying to figure out how to dress as a man. Many people struggle with this, but with the right advice, you can learn the skills you need much faster.

1. Start from scratch

When you want to start dressing stylishly, you need to start from the beginning.

This doesn't mean you should give up your clothes immediately. People around you are unlikely to understand if you wander around the shops naked.

But you have to accept that you will eventually get rid of most of your current wardrobe, replacing it with more suitable and stylish items.

Saying goodbye to some of your favorite pieces of clothing will be difficult, but it needs to be done to make progress.

Don't worry, in return you will get new favorite things that will make you look much better.

2. Forget everything you think you know.

One of the biggest challenges you will have to overcome is your belief that looking fashionable is unimportant.

What you consider to be unimportant may turn out to be vital, while seemingly important things are secondary.

You have to accept that you may not know as much as you think you do.

You have to think of yourself as a beginner, otherwise you'll likely miss important lessons.

Imagine knowing nothing and you will be open to learning everything you need to know.

3. Build the foundation of your wardrobe

Updating your wardrobe starts with a strong foundation.

You want to build a versatile wardrobe that goes well with almost anything.

The main items of such a wardrobe include white shirts, black trousers, blue jeans and gray sweaters.

Once you've built your foundation, you can add more attractive clothes to your wardrobe.

4. Simplicity is the highest form of complexity

You must remember that you are a man and there is no need to be extravagant. You don't need too many frills and bells and whistles to look great.

Give preference to simple things. Remember this and stop making things too complicated. Simple style is the best style for guys.

5. The main thing is how well the clothes fit you

This is the golden rule. Clothing should not only be beautiful, but also fit well with your body parameters.

Compare these two shirts:

Which do you think looks better?

The shirt on the left doesn't fit his body proportions, making the guy look like he raided someone else's closet.

6. Downsize your wardrobe

Having a large wardrobe will not do any good.

In fact, having too many clothes in your wardrobe is not advisable. This is good news for guys whose options are limited by their available budget.

Never fill your wardrobe with too many clothes, thinking that this is the only way you can achieve variety.

You don't need a lot of items to have a great arsenal of stylish clothing items. You'll be amazed at how little you really need.

In addition, you should periodically empty your wardrobe of items that look worn out, that no longer fit you, or that you simply don't wear anymore.

7. Update your wardrobe

You don't want to be that guy who wears the same clothes every day. You need a little variety.

In addition, old unnecessary items should be periodically replaced with new items of clothing.

You can decorate and expand your wardrobe at the same time. At the same time, you should ensure that things have a combination with each other.

8. Use multiple layers in your clothing

Knowing how to layer your clothes will help you get the most out of everything in your closet and help you create more interesting looks.

Layering allows you to play with your clothes so that you learn how to put them together correctly.

9. Forget about fashion trends, develop your style first

Many men think that they have to be on top of all the latest fashion trends to become more stylish.

However, when you're starting out, developing your own style is much more important.

Once you figure out the look you want, you can start adding fashion trends that will contribute to that look.

10. Look natural

You don't want to look like you spent hours carefully creating your style in front of the mirror.

If you want to look good, look like you're not making an effort to look good.

But this does not mean that your appearance should be called “chaos on the body.” Do not confuse slight negligence with a nightmare.

When you develop your sense of style, you become open to new types of clothing. You should try things that you would never have thought of wearing before.

Perhaps you'll try wearing chinos instead of jeans or a jacket instead of a sweater. You may want to wear business casual attire or even a suit. You might be tempted to replace your sneakers with desert boots or moccasins.

You'll be surprised how good you can look in clothes you previously thought weren't suitable for you.

12. Learn to love colors

Most men don't seem to be very keen on having a variety of colors in their wardrobe. Many of us stick to a basic color scheme of black, white, gray and blue.

If so, you should expand your color horizons.

You have to figure out what colors suit you, other than the ones you're already used to. And the best way to do this is to try them.

While you should learn to love colors, you should avoid using too many of them at the beginning of your personal style journey because you risk using colors that don't match.

Stick to using only one color (one color combination) in your clothing at a time, keeping it neutral.

Once you expand your knowledge, you can start combining them more diligently.

13. Attitude of others

Once you start improving your style, you are guaranteed to receive stupid jokes from your friends.

The secret to dealing with this is to not sweat it or laugh. Hard fuck... is your best friend. Making fun of the prankster is also the right way.

Eventually your friends will get used to who you become and the jokes will stop.

14. Be open to feedback

There are people in your life who will genuinely try to help you, so be open to their advice.

You can usually tell when criticism is constructive and when someone is just trying to bring you down to their level.

Hint: People who give valuable and sincere advice usually dress quite well themselves.

15. Be honest with yourself

You shouldn't imitate someone you're not. You will feel unnatural when you try to look like it doesn't match your personality.

For example, if you're a casual guy, you might not want to wear formal suits all the time. Just aim to look like a more stylish version of yourself.

16. Developing your own style will take time.

Moscow was not built in a day, and your style will not emerge overnight.

It will take you time to fully understand all the little tricks that make your look great.

Don't expect to become the most stylish guy in the world within a month or two. You must be prepared to spend some time on this.

17. Be prepared to make mistakes

Through hardship to the stars. We all make mistakes, none of us are immune from this.

Look at celebrities. They often use the services of personal stylists or designers who create clothes just for them.

And even these people make mistakes, but only because they try new things. Sometimes this is beneficial, and sometimes it is harmful.

But the risk of making mistakes shouldn't stop you from trying new clothes.

The road to success is paved with mistakes. You just need to be able to accept them, draw appropriate conclusions and move on.

18. Rest assured that you will soon know how to dress as a man.

If you keep working on yourself and your style, you will eventually achieve your goal.

You will learn to notice important details in your own and other people's clothing. You will know which things are right for you and which ones are not for you. Choosing the best combination of clothes from your closet will be as easy as walking down the street.

No matter how long it takes you to develop your style, rest assured that you will eventually achieve it.

How to dress for a man depending on his age

Knowing how to dress well as a man at any given age can be challenging at any stage of your life.

While there are no set rules for how men should dress, fashion for older men compared to younger men can be very different, so you should make sure you get it right.

Mastering the knowledge of how to dress a guy in your 20s isn't as challenging as it would be for the rest of your life because at that age there are fewer demands placed on your appearance.

You can follow more cost-effective fashion trends without investing heavily in your wardrobe.

And yet, this is probably the best period to develop the image that you prefer. So don't be afraid to go casual with a classic look next week.

Experiment

Guys in their 20s are the most “served” audience when it comes to clothing. This is your chance to experience bold fashion trends before moving on to more classic styles as you get older.

Don't be afraid to try bright colors, unusual combinations, and fashion trends.

As you get older, you might cringe at your choices in retrospect, but for now, just enjoy the weirdness of fashion.

Hairstyle

Clothing isn't the only thing that can affect your style, as even a great haircut can help improve your appearance.

If you are not sure what to do with your hair, it is better not to resort to “crazy” haircuts. Trendy haircuts may look great, but they may need to be regularly maintained with appropriate hair styling. This can add additional inconvenience to your daily life.

Accessories

Accessories are just as important as clothes when creating a style.

A regular watch that you can wear with any item of clothing is never an unnecessary investment, so don't be afraid to spend a little more money to achieve a great look.

If you prefer warm colors in your clothing, then a gold watch will go well with it, while a silver watch will pair well with more muted, cool tones.

Buy a couple of white shirts

White shirts are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you'll ever have in your wardrobe, and they pair well with almost anything else.

Try on shirts with jeans, compare their combination with a classic suit.

Fashion for 30-year-old men can be varied, but at this stage you can start incorporating more classic styles into your wardrobe.

This is honestly the best time to dress up as you have the perfect balance of youth and maturity.

One general rule for 30-year-old men is to dress according to your body measurements.

Good style for a 30-year-old man should be something like a well-fitted suit. Alternatively, you can mix different styles, moving away from the classics if you wish.

Make suits the most important item in your wardrobe

You may have already bought great suits in your 20s, but when it comes to fashion for 30-year-old men, suits take on even more importance.

It's time for you to diversify your wardrobe of suits in terms of color, quality and patterns.

There are plenty of occasions to wear a suit or jacket, so you don't have to wait for a formal event. Find out which colors suit you best.

Invest in good things

While you've been experimenting with fashion in your 20s, your job is to polish your clothing style to the best it can be. This is due, among other things, to the transition from investing in a large number of cheap items to investing in a smaller number, but more expensive items of clothing. Among other things, this approach will allow you to save time that you spend on shopping.

Instead of buying a pair of jeans that will wear out in a year, buy a pair of jeans that cost three times as much that you'll last a lot longer.

In addition to jeans, buy a quality blazer, a few dress shirts, and a good pair of shoes that fit you perfectly.

Clothing style at 40 is the result of development, not trends and fashion.

Filter out the questionable items you tried in your 20s and 30s and instead pay more attention to clothes and color palettes that suit you.

Fashion for men over 40 tends to be more conservative and focused on quality rather than colors and patterns.

A white t-shirt and a nice pair of jeans may look good on you, but you want to make sure you're dealing with quality materials. You no longer have the right to wear cheap things.

Stick to a certain haircut

Dressing style for men over 40 is important, but a haircut can dramatically change the appearance of any man. Men over the age of 40 may begin to notice that their hair has become thinner and sparser. Therefore, for some, a short haircut will be the best choice.

Matching fitted items

It's not necessary that by the time you cross the 40-year mark, your body weight will be measured in tons, but it is unlikely that you will be as thin as in your younger years.

Therefore, for example, the best jeans for men over 40 are those that are not too tight. The same applies to shirts and other items of clothing.

Choose lighter colors

As you get older, your skin becomes thinner and slightly paler.

Dark clothing colors can make you look even paler, so for many men it makes sense to opt for lighter colors. For example, dark blue and gray colors can easily replace a more saturated black color.

Fashion for men over 50 is very similar to men's style over 40, with an emphasis on fit and color rather than trends.

Although you look great in a tailored suit for more formal occasions, when it comes to dressing for casual wear, choosing for you may seem more difficult.

And again accessories

Accessories are the perfect finishing touch to an outfit, whether it's simple jeans paired with a T-shirt or a more sophisticated suit and tie.

When choosing accessories, you should give preference to classic, versatile items that will not look out of place if combined with various items of clothing.

A leather belt with a gold or silver buckle is ideal, and spending a little more money on a quality item is always worth it. Now you are a sophisticated gentleman, and not some guy.

Take care of your hair

The worst thing you can do in your 50s is spend a ton of money on clothes and accessories and then just forget about your hair and beard. They also need attention, as well as suitable hair care products and even good beard oil.

So, how should a man dress depending on his age?

1. 20 years. It's time to experiment, so don't worry about anything going wrong.
2. 30 years. A period of organizing your wardrobe and adding some luxuries.
3. 40 years. Your style should be to invest in quality and expensive items that will stand the test of time.
4. 50 years. Time for a necessary wardrobe update.

24. If you feel the harmony of colors, you can try other options.

25. Don't wear the same leather shoes two days in a row. This will extend its service life.

26. Double denim – jeans and a denim shirt - work well together only if the top is one or two shades lighter than the bottom.

27. Many people know that you should leave the bottom button of your jacket undone. However, not everyone knows that this rule also applies to a cardigan.

28. Regardless Whatever style you are dressed in - formal, smart casual or just casual - the sleeve of your shirt should invariably peek out from under the sleeve of your jacket.

29. Combine colors in clothes, focusing on saturation. A light gray suit is in harmony with a not too rich shade of a tie. A dark suit - with a more saturated one, respectively.

30. Dark brown brogues and dark blue jeans are a classic, time-tested combination.

31. Combination in white clothes and cream shades create a rather expensive visual effect.

32. Never let the shirt collar should remain unironed.

The shirt sleeve should always peek out from under the jacket sleeve.

33. Scarf hanging loosely around the neck- a good way to smooth out the impression of a bulging belly and make you slimmer overall.

34. Combine widths tie with the size and width of the jacket lapels.

35. Don't wear a formal classic jacket separate from a suit (what to wear with a men's jacket).

36. Go out more often out of the “comfort zone” - sometimes try things of a new style. It is likely that you will discover new possibilities in clothing.

As you get older and the first number in your age changes from 2 to 3, your wardrobe should change with you

The courage of my student years and the first uncertain steps up the career ladder are behind me. You become more experienced, more confident, more successful and more mature. Things that looked good before will look ridiculous now. You can light a fire from these 14 things and confidently step into the fourth decade of your life. A period in which you will look better than before or after it.

1 . Decorations. Wooden bracelets are allowed only if you are a surfer, and a fist-sized cross of God is allowed only if you are a priest. Men's accessories are always appropriate - a watch and a wedding ring. The number of watches is measured only by wealth, but keep in mind that watches are also completely different in shape and purpose. Men's jewelry should be understated, upscale, and made from something that doesn't float.

2. Cheap sports watches. They are the ones who should leave your daily look after jewelry. Their versatility and sportiness remain a thing of the past along with the words “versatility” and “sportiness”. In this case, they allow you to look more “sporty” and at the same time emphasize the distance that separates you from real sports. It is appropriateness that should become the main criterion in the selection of clothes and accessories in the period of 30-40 years. If you want to feel nostalgic, wear them to the gym or to the stadium to cheer for your favorite club.

3 . Wallet chain. This is quite a rarity these days, but there are some men who continue to wear this pointless accessory from the distant past. Their only goal is to prevent wallet theft - they do it worse than ever. Not only does the chain indicate exactly where your wallet is, but unfastening the modern carabiner couldn't be easier. Besides, at an age when a man is expected to be neat and fit, there is nothing more strange than a thin chain connecting your thigh and buttock.

4 . Versatile Black Square Toe Shoes. Bought for graduation at school and still relevant at college, and then at interviews, at the age of 30 such shoes will only help you stand in line for unemployment benefits. This is the end of their journey and that’s it. Remember - the rounded toe of shoes made of good leather will look appropriate for the next thirty years.

5. Beach shorts and flip flops. If you are a lifeguard in a sports club pool or in Hydropark, you can skip this section. In other cases, remember that wearing this ensemble in the city is unacceptable, period. And remember that men's legs, as a rule, do not look as attractive as women's. If you decide to show them off, take care of their cleanliness and wear special open shoes for the city - sandals, they sit more tightly on your feet and do not attract dust as much as flip-flops.

6 . Sports socks. These easy-to-wear and washable socks are designed for sports. And therefore their life cycle is higher than that of ordinary ones. Nobody wanted to deceive you, it’s just that synthetics are more durable than cotton. The good news is that they don't need to be thrown away and can be worn with sneakers. The bad news is that they don't fit the shoes. And even black socks under black shoes.

7 . Skater sneakers. I would say that you should have gotten rid of them as soon as you turned 25. But I remember how much effort it took to get them, and how cool it was. But the time has come for more urban shoes: Nike, NB, Reebok, Common Projects, Feeling Pieces, as well as sneakers from the classics Santoni and Zegna will appropriately replace Vans and Onyls. A thirty-year-old man in skater sneakers creates a kind of “prehistoric” image of himself, as if the person has been absent for the last ten to twenty years, and has now returned from oblivion, taking long-forgotten shoes from there.

8 . Mike. So, everything you need to know about the T-shirt: 1. In English slang, the T-shirt is called Wife Beater (“A man who beats his wife” in literal translation). 2. In Russian slang “alcoholic”. The history of these names is the topic of a separate article, but I think the meaning is clear. You can sleep in it, or wear it discreetly under your shirt. These are the only two correct options.

9. Hoodie and raglans. They are eternal. This is where their advantages end. Keep them as a memory - out of sight. Their synthetic composition no longer matches your age. And a logo the size of a human head with a reflector will no longer find spotlights in the club. So let them go, just let them go.

10 . Distressed jeans. The good thing about jeans is that you don't have to think about what to wear. You just put them on. There is such a thing as excessive casualness in clothing. Try to avoid it. And an excellent example of such everyday life is artificially distressed jeans, regardless of whether they are worn out at the knees, torn at the calf, or just all in an assorted hole. Find yourself a pair of good jeans that don't look like they've been hit by a corn harvester. Plain jeans will age on their own, and do so beautifully. Just like you.

11. Oversized items. Some things won't look good on you, no matter how much you convince yourself. “I’ll wear this golf shirt with stretched sleeves under a jacket, and no one will notice,” you think. They will notice. By the age of thirty, you should understand which brands fit well on you and which ones fit poorly. This understanding is a great help in making the right purchasing decisions. The items that actually suit you may be a little more expensive than you budgeted for, but it's worth the splurge. If you have a good job, then you are simply forced to look a little neater than you really are.

12 . All the things you think are "cool". T-shirts with prints, socks with strange designs, ties with cartoon characters - such things have no place in the life of a man over 30. No matter how ironic they may seem to you. This also applies to small details. Using socks as an example: opt for socks in soft pastel colors, shades of brown, blue or gray. Classic patterns are perfect for design - look at the Falke range. Don't wear socks given to you for New Year by your "cool" friends.

13. Sportswear. Sportswear is great for when you're working out at the gym or doing the exact opposite - lounging on the couch at home. But when you leave the house and communicate with people dressed in colorless, baggy clothes, it looks as if you have resigned yourself to the hopelessness of existence on the couch and are no longer waiting for the gifts of fate.

14. Bad hats. The only thing worse than oversized hats with pompoms is a hat with earflaps or a hat made of fur. Let's leave the first to the guys under 23, and the second to the far north, where they can't survive without them. Regular classic wool hats without inscriptions or logos will look neat and to the point. There are also caps and they are not for 60-year-olds.
