How to Improve Your Style Without Spending Money

Hello guys, Welcome back to the Men’s Dream lifestyle. And look if you’re reading this blog I know that you want to look amazing. You want amazing new clothes and accessories but the thing is that gets pretty costly very quickly right it adds up. So today’s blog is all about working with what you got. How to find creative ways to improve your style without having to break the bank and buy all new clothes.

GET INSPIRATION ONLINE

The first tip that I have for you today is to look for inspiration online to find new ways to mix and match your current clothing options. Learning how to master the clothes that you already have.

Sometimes you look at your closet and you see the same old stuff and you’re like, I’ve already worn all of this. But if you find inspiration online, you can then mix and match the clothes that you already own that you already paid for in different ways that you’ve never tried before.

Back when I was growing up, when I was finding my style, which was? By the way, I had no style; I didn’t have Pinterest. I didn’t have Men’s Dram Lifestyle on the website helping me out, or any of these other guys; I didn’t know what to do right. But now you have so many resources online; you can find the help you need and find inspiration.

Ways to mix and match your outfits that you would have never thought of before. I’d say check out Pinterest, check out Instagram, and check out YouTube. Because you’re going to find a lot of inspiration there.

ADD ACCESSORIES

Number two tip: get used to wearing accessories. So many guys are scared of wearing accessories because they are feminine or it’s not their style. That’s not true; you just kind of have to get used to it. You guys know that usually I wear a lot of rings; I love them.

But at first, I wasn’t used to it. I’m like, my fingers are a little too thick for that. I don’t know if he looks good; it’s a little too bulky. But within a couple of weeks, you get used to it. I love to wear necklaces. I always have one on. I like bracelets. I like watches, and you don’t need to buy expensive accessories.

You don’t need an expensive watch. You probably already own a watch; just wear that watch and then throw some rings or a bracelet on this hand, and all of a sudden your outfit looks more interesting. There are more details to talk about, and that’s exactly what we want. We want to change it up with what you already have.

So add accessories to your fit, and it’s going to look so much better. Sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, and rings—whatever you want.

GET FIT

Now this next one, I think, is going to make the biggest difference in how you look in the clothes that you already own, and that is getting fit or staying fit and healthy. This is good for so many reasons, right? If you feel like you’re out of shape, you’re not going to be confident to wear the thing that you should be wearing. So you’re going to try to hide it; you’re going to wear darker colors.

You’re going to go for, you know, stripes that make you look leaner; you’re not going to wear the specific things. It might show that you have a little bit of a gut going in from quarantine. I’ll tell you what. Stop thinking like that and start working on your body now.

The good thing about being fit, you know, is that it’s going to add to your style, right? You’re going to be able to see some of your muscles peeking through, and that is attractive, of course. But not only that; your posture will also change, and that is very important when it comes to style. Because you can be dressed very, very well, right? You look amazing, but if you’re walking around and your shoulder, it’s just not going to look very good.

It’s going to look sloppy; it’s going to look like you’re lazy, like you’re tired, and that is not good. So your style will improve as your health improves; it goes hand in hand. So make sure that you’re working out, staying active, and keeping your posture proper.

LAYER YOUR CLOTHES

This next tip, which I’m giving you guys, is probably one of my favorite tips when it comes to clothing and styling in general. Especially in the colder months of fall and wintertime, that is layering clothing to make it look different. Add details and dimensions to your outfit.

This is something that I haven’t learned for a long time, and I wish that I did. I think guys, especially as you know you’re learning and discovering your style, are scared of doing that. But layering is going to change your style. It looks so cool; it looks like you are a well-put-together guy who is stylish.

So grab the clothes that you already own from your closet and try to layer them in a way that you can see all of the different layers. Instead of just putting a t-shirt on and then a big-ass jacket, actually do like a turtleneck that peeks through that jacket, right?

I have a shirt that kind of peeks through the bottom underneath the jacket. So these are all layering techniques. That you learn as you go on, they’re going to add. So much dimension to your outfit, so much more character, and so much more style to your fit.

CHANGE YOUR HAIRSTYLE

The next thing that you can do to immediately improve your style without having to buy new clothes is, of course, level up your hairstyle. You know that is something that people are going to see immediately, right? Your hair.

So make sure that you’re taking good care of it. Make sure that you’re using good products and that you’re getting a haircut once in a while. So it doesn’t look all wild and unkempt, keep it fresh, keep it clean, and if you work in an office, keep it professional.

But most of all, and this is important, change your hairstyle once in a while. Do not be one of those guys that just have the same hairstyle for years. You have to try new hairstyles out because if you don’t, then you don’t know how you’re going to look; you might look better, right?

You might look worse, but then you just let it grow, or you cut it even shorter, but you might look a lot better. So why not give it a shot? I highly recommend that you do the weather; whether it’s a buzz cut or a man bun, go for it.

GET A STEAMER

Next up, wrinkled clothes have to go; they are not stylish at all, so I would recommend getting a steamer. Ironing is kind of annoying; I don’t like doing it. I’m sure you don’t either, but a steamer is kind of fun.

It’s somewhat soothing and relaxing, right? It’s almost like you’re meditating on the sound of the water boiling; it just sounds good; it’s very relaxing. I know I sound like an old, old person, right? But I indeed like steaming; what can I say? The truth is I have a pet peeve with wrinkled clothes; it just looks like you slept in that T-shirt if it’s all wrinkled, right?

I’m like, did you just wear the clothing that you’re wearing yesterday to today’s thing? Like, what’s going on, right? You never know. So when you steam your clothes, it just looks fresh, it looks clean, it looks new, so do that.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CLOTHES

Another tip that I have for you guys, and this one is fun and different, is to customize your old clothes. You know, don’t be afraid to grab a pair of scissors and change things up. Especially if they’re old clothing, old shirts, especially old jeans, right? You have those old jeans that you’re just like. I’m probably going to throw this away; don’t do that. If you’re going to throw it away or donate it, cool, but why don’t you just personalize it first?

You know, change it up, add some distressing, and do the same tie-dye experiments. It’s going to be fun; it’s a fun project that you can do by yourself or with a friend, and there’s so much content out there teaching you how to do this right. So go on YouTube and be like, How do I customize my jeans and add some patches and have fun with it?

THRIFT SHOPPING

This next tip, It is very on-trend, and it’s very affordable, which is thrift shopping. Go thrift shopping. Check it out if there’s anything around your area. It is worth it, man. You can get some really good finds for literally six bucks or seven dollars. It is so cheap. You get some cool stuff. So check it out and try to expand your style even with those affordable pieces. The reason why it’s so trendy is that vintage clothing is trendy, right? It’s in style right now. So you can go thrift shopping, spend very little money, and be on-trend, which is amazing. But most of all, guys, make sure you’re healthy.
