TO BE BESPOKE

In the words of Lord Chesterfield, "... dress is a very foolish thing, and yet it is a very foolish thing for a man not to be well dressed ..." 


This post shall be dedicated to the gents that want to take a step further in looking dapper. Note that being dapper doesn't mean that you adorn yourself in suits primarily.
Being dapper is more than just dressing, its an art and you being the canvas, you get to choose what type of image you want to portray.



On the road to being bespoke, there are a few pointers that you should put on paper. The fit and the shape of your silhouette. This is just plain and simple, if it doesn't fit then it's not worth it. Big question here is, what is the right fit? I shall get to it in a separate blog post so stay tuned.


Match the outfit with the correct type of shoe. What I normally do is that when I have to think of an outfit, I consider what shoe options I have and then I dress myself from bottom to top. In my opinion, it is easy to match the clothes, but to get the perfect shoe to complete the outfit needs some level of finessing. Only rule that's there is, never wear a pair of brown shoes with a black suit, please lets preserve them for that gray or navy suit.


Get the colors right, you don't want to be walking in town looking like a mismatched Rubik's cube. Just because a certain top in a certain color is trending, doesn't mean that you wear it in the same color get to know what colors go with your skin tone and which ones compliment your body physique and in the end please remember that black and white aren't colors but bases, they lie on the extremes, they either complement or can make you look like you're having a lazy day and you don't want that especially if you are looking into making a good impression
.


I hope the points that I have given you will go a long way in helping your style sense better, until next time.
Cheers and God bless.
