Do you ever wonder whether others see you as an in-style person? Do you care? Most men are more concerned about being up-to-date in fashion, hairstyles, and attitudes than they are willing to admit. That’s not a bad thing. It’s just a fact of life. It’s why we look in mirrors before heading out to work or a social function. It’s also why we take time to select attractive clothing, get haircuts that enhance our looks, drive newer cars when possible, and at least make attempts to stay fit. One of the dirty little secrets of the modern social scene is that looks matter for women and men. Have you done a recent style check to see if your look is in tune with the decade? Here’s a quick self-diagnosis you can perform in under five minutes.
Clothing
Have you purchased non-work clothing within the past two years? If not, now is the time. Men’s fashion has been changing faster than ever, and with e-commerce stores exploding in popularity, it’s possible to snag good bargains on the freshest brands of jeans, sport shirts, shoes, and jackets. There’s no need to spend a fortune to be in-style. A clever technique for regularly upgrading your wardrobe is to purchase one new, basic item per month. And in an age where you can purchase any service on the internet, consider forking over the small fee for a fashion consultant who can assess your needs and make cost-conscious recommendations.
Cars
In a way, cars are an extension of our personalities. This is particularly true if you can afford to pick and choose when the time comes to buy a vehicle that is in-style. If you’re on a strict budget, your ride probably says more about your bank book than about your personality or sense of style. The best way to stretch your car dollar is to check out a car classifieds blog. They’re great resources for learning about how to find auctions, how to compare specific models, build a dream garage, and attend either an auction for stellar bargains. The question of whether to go to an online vs in person auction is not so vital if you locate websites that have accurate photos and a good reputation for offering fair prices. It’s smartest to use an auction guide that lists all the classic car events, both virtual and in-person.
Hair
Hairstyles for men, women, and children change with the weather. However, a few 2020s looks have made a big mark among guys in the 20-50 age category. It’s hard to describe them in words, so all you need to do next time you visit the barbershop is ask for a loose undercut, drop fade, or Caesar cut. They’re all up-to-date, look good on men with thick or thin follicles, and are easy to maintain.
Nails
Get a manicure. The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into the salon is that you are not the only male there. In fact, one of the biggest trends in the formerly all-female salon business is men coming in asking for manicures, facials, massages, and other spa treatments that ladies once only requested.
