My Style sucked until very late in 20s, I didn’t feel good about my outfits, I had no ideas what i was doing and i didn’t have the funds to buy what i wanted to wear. I remember when i turned 29 it was the first time in my life that i felt like i had truly found my style. Looking back now, it was dog*** but it doesn’t matter because, i felt really good wearing those outfits.
A lot of men go their entire lives without finding their style, and I want to change that, I want you to look great and feel confident in your style choices, no matter your age. So today I want to talk to the guys in their 30s or above, who maybe think they’re too old to experiment to try new styles because, of their age. Let me tell you something at 35 I can confidently say that I feel better than ever. I have financial and location freedom I figured out my style, I figured out my hair and my grooming, I feel good. I want you to do the exact same thing So, this content is for you especially if you’re in your 30s, and you think you’re too old to try new things, a new style, a new haircut, a new look you’re absolutely wring and i’m about to show you why?
By the way if you’re not in your 30s yet but like classier outfits, you’re to like this content too and by the end of this content, you’re going to learn how to upgrade five important areas of your style.
1. Assess Your Wardrobe
Very first things you’re going to have to do is “Assess your wardrobe”. Because, I can guarantee you have some pieces in there that don’t belong in there. You know what too maybe it’s a jacket that you got four years ago and you loved it, you wore the crap out of it back the it’s a nice jacket but, you haven’t touched it in forever. Maybe it’s not your style anymore or you got a new one it doesn’t really matter, at that point it’s just a memory right. You’re just remembering those moments that you wore that jacket in.
Now take a second right now to think about all of those items in your closet because, I know, I have a few of those and anytime i get rid of old clothes, that i don’t wear anymore, it opens up space for new items that I will actually wear.
So, I’m going to give you a simple trick that will tell you which clothes to get rid of when it’s time to declutter your wardrobe. You’re going to start by hanging all of your clothes with the hanger facing the same direction. Each time that you wear an item when you put it back turn the hanger in the opposite direction, give it a few months and you’re going to see exactly which clothes you haven’t worn at all. The hangers that haven’t been flipped are your candidates for donation or selling or whatever you want to do with them. And be honest with yourself get rid of the clothes you’re not wearing, it makes no sense to keep them, it’s just hoarding and gets in your way. This not only simplifies the decision making process but, it also helps you visually track the clothes that you wearing, making it easier to keep your wardrobe more organized and functional.
2. Find Inspiration
Now you have room to start upgrading your style and the second step is to do exactly what you’re doing right now but with more purpose now maybe you clicked on this content because it showed up on google or anywhere but you weren’t really looking for this content. If that’s you then take some time to be intentional with your style upgrades.
Here’s a there step guide on how to do that
Number one of course follow our “Men’s Dream Lifestyle” so you can learn as much as possible about style, my goal here has always been to help you this site is about your journey.
Number two follow other Men’s fashion creators that have a style that you like. If you like street style find those guys, If you’re into suits there’s a ton of guys that talk about that specifically. If you like to be fashion forward, same thing, just like with everything else in life with style you have to know what you want in order to achieve it. So what is your dream style you need to know in order to get there right.
Step number three once have a style or two in mind then finds brands that offer those styles. Every brand has something different to offer. There elements that you should keep in mind as you’re searching for the right brands. First is the overall aesthetic classy vs street vs edgy vs athleisure. Look of course you can have more than one aesthetic right. You can wear classy outfits all week long then a athleisure on the weekends but focus on nailing down one aesthetic before you start working on the next. Then you have to think about what you want that brand to represent when you’re wearing. It for example: if you’re wearing logos, those logos they say something about you. Nike or adidas might say that you’re into sports. Gucci say that you’re into really high-end designers. Fear of God says that you’re into fashion forward street style. And of course you can go with no logos right and just focus on the aesthetic of the brand.
Next is the fit, what brands fit you well this is the hardest part to figure out, it’s going to take you some trial and error but it’s worth it. Assess your body type understand it well and then find a few brands that make clothes for your body type. Please please please no matter what promise me this once you find the first brands that fits you well, don’t and i repeat do not buy all the same shirts and pants in different colors. Men tend to do that right and it’s just lazy, find a few brands that you like, not one, it’s okay to buy the same piece in a couple of different colors but, don’t build a whole wardrobe with the same exact pieces, that’s lazy and that’s boring.
Finally your budget, the price range of the items that you can afford, do not go into credit card debt just to buy a couple of pieces from a designer brand right, Find alternatives that are within your budget. Nowadays there’s ton of brands that offer stylish pieces and that are within your budget.
COOFANDY is a great example of that especially if you’re in your 30s and you like to wear classier styles like i do. I got a bunch of them for the summer and believe it or not they all go for less than $30 each some of them for even less than 20 bucks. They don’t feel like it they feel soft, they fit really well and they look more expensive than they really are now. Now, my favorite right now from COOFANDY is the knit button-down short sleeve polo because I’ll be wearing these a lot. They’re classy they;re summery and they’re affordable, you can’t go wrong with them. But, I also like this white button down here with a cool design, this one’s perfect for that hot summer day, i like blue polo. Which is a little bit more dressy, you can wear for a daytime or a nighttime outfit.
COOFANDY by the way doesn’t just make these polos all right, but that’s just because of my style right now but they also have casual T-shirts, they have suits, underwear, beach wear, sportswear. So, definitely check out their website and their Amazon store.
