how to dress well as a man

1) Invest in quality clothing:

Quality clothing is a must for looking your best. Investing in higher-quality pieces will ensure that your clothes last longer and look better. Invest in mens brushed cotton shirts or a well-fitting blazer, and you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd.

2) Choose the right fit:

When it comes to looking your best, the fit is key! Make sure that whatever clothes you choose to fit your body properly. Avoid baggy or overly tight clothing, as this will make you look sloppy and unkempt. Be sure to have your clothes tailored if necessary.

3) Accessorise:

Accessories are a great way to add flair to an outfit without going overboard. A good watch, hat, or belt can make all the difference in your overall look. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different accessories until you find the perfect balance for yourself!

4) Consider colour:

Colour is an important factor when it comes to dressing well. Solid colours are always a safe choice but don’t be scared to try out prints and patterns as well. Stick to neutral shades like navy blue and black unless you’re feeling adventurous!

5) Invest in shoes:

Shoes can make or break an outfit, so make sure you invest in quality pairs that will last. A good pair of leather dress shoes can be worn for any occasion, from a night out to the office. Think about investing in shoes of different colours as well to add variety to your wardrobe.

6) Layer carefully:

Layering is a great way to keep warm and look stylish at the same time. When layering, make sure that each piece fits properly and complements the outfit as a whole. Don’t go overboard with too many layers, or it could end up looking messy!

7) Get creative:

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your style! Dressing well doesn’t mean sticking to one particular look – try mixing different styles and pieces together to create something unique. Don’t be afraid to take risks with your fashion choices!

8) Invest in good fabrics:

Fabric is one of the most important factors when it comes to dressing well. Invest in quality fabrics like wool, cashmere, and linen, as they will last longer and look better than cheaper alternatives. Avoid synthetic fabrics whenever possible.

9) Grooming is important:

Your overall look isn’t complete without proper grooming. Make sure you’re keeping your hair and facial hair neat and trim, and take the time to make sure your nails are clean and filed. A little effort goes a long way when it comes to looking good!

10) Confidence is key:

The most important tip for dressing well is confidence. Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable in your own skin, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles until you find the right one for you. With a little bit of effort, you can easily look great!

Dressing well isn’t something to be afraid of. With the right knowledge and a little bit of effort, you can easily dress better and feel more confident in your appearance. Follow these ten essential style tips for guys who want to dress better, and you’ll be sure to look great!

For those who are unfamiliar with Thread for Men the online British Retailer was founded during 2012 in London. Thread has an innovative way of providing discerning men the opportunity to purchase new clothes by matching users with virtual stylist who can offer a personal shopping experience through the website and iOS App.

So, how does the technology work? In layman’s terms it is style cleverly decoded simply at your fingertips in just a few clicks away. Thread uses a combination of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to give your personal stylist a hint as to what you are looking for and get acquainted with the site’s users.

I’ve never used the Thread Styling App before and from what I’ve seen so far, I’m really impressed their online store is home to my favourite leading Brands I’d love to covet. But, most of all I do praise the fact the platforms algorithm knows my personal style so well. Come to think of it, it is just like having your own personal shopper on your arm to guide you on a shopping spree down the high street. Just for you guys at home curious about jumping on the band wagon to find out what the digital shopping experience is really like it is simply easy as signing up to get the best outfit ideas tailored to you.

With spring season upon us I have taken the online shopping approach versus the traditional way of shopping in store. Now, let’s start by setting up a new Thread account with the objective to discover the latest spring style staples trending now as new additions to my closet.

Here we go, Let’s try it together and come shopping with me….

HOW TO SET UP YOUR ONLINE PERSONAL STYLIST

Start by Downloading the Thread App or head over to the website Thread.com

Sign up and register for a new account and you will be asked to provide some details about yourself including stats and clothing size measurements, what’s currently in your closet and how much you are looking to spend budget wise. It even has an option that highlights fit concerns regarding body shape which will come in handy. For one, I’m very slim or sometimes in between sizes is good to know, the more info the better.

On the next stage I was prompted to select some key looks that define my personal style from a few Instagram style grids – so this is where the algorithm gets triggered and begins to work hard so you don’t have to.

Upon gathering this information, you will then be allocated a virtual stylist, mine was called Toby who provides you helpful suggestions on what clothes for you to purchase.

best online mens fashion app

DOWNLOAD STYLE EDIT’S BY YOUR PERSONAL STYLIST

Thread Stylist will search up what you’re looking to get and come up with a Style Edit of complete outfits to single items which is great don’t you think. Thread App’s AI technology relies solely on it’s algorithm to style looks that’s uniquely personal to site users preference by going the extra mile to find what you need.

Once I knew what I was looking for in terms of which looks appealed to me, I started to like both a mixture of traditional versus contemporary style staples that I could easily wear day in day out. For instance, I think having a great jacket or coat paired with minimal trainers can create versatile looks as I like to mix and match by switching things up a bit.

At this point it was helpful to let my Stylist Toby know this beforehand using the Apps technology. Within an hour I got an email of my 1st Style Edit download from the suggested items – the end result was definitely up my street.

Once your Stylist has decided on Spring Jacket Styles for you to wear, let the clever algorithm work its wonders to seek and find the best style options to suit and budget proving technology is worthwhile for even the discerning cash time poor consumer looking to shop with ease online.

I highly recommend anyone to use the platform especially style savvy Gent’s who are not quite sure what they’re looking for. If you’re seeking a unique shopping experience that’s time efficient Thread utilises a combination of both AI and curation to ensure your digital shopping is effortless every time.

I’d say AI technology has its perks when it comes to online shopping because a computer never forgets, and all your data is stored in your Thread account for next time. For instance, compared to the human mind sometimes it tends to forget specific details about an individual unless reminded again.

best online mens fashion app

In the Ideas Tab, this is the fun part where the AI Technology takes over to style curated looks for you based on personal preference and data stored about customers.

The Ideas Tab is a great self-help style guide for men where you have the option to like and dislike ideas that your Stylist provided you as well as suggest areas to improve on, if not quite right first-time round. I have to say my Stylist recommendations from Toby were spot on in ‘How to Style Up Casual looks’ as I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of Black Chelsea Boots to dress up my tonal outfit for casually meeting friends on weekends.

best online mens fashion app

I personally think AI technology has its advantages when shopping online which ensures you get the best out of the algorithm when using the platform to make purchases. Overall, the simple process from signup stage as ‘New Customer’, to searching for what I was ideally looking for, with help from ‘Toby’ my virtual Stylist, to buying my items and having it delivered within 24 hours ­­­– just superb. I could not be happier as the customer service was second to none.

In my view Thread caters to all your shopping needs one would expect from a premium online personal shopping experience for style savvy men who want to dress to impress with the added bonus of a free service. It’s definitely a great service for those that seek on trend advice and opinions on Men’s Style downloaded digitally with no fuss. It’s time efficient shopping in just a few clicks.

The bar is kitted out with cascading signature Kit Kemp designed Rick Rack Wall fabric by De Gournay for a personal touch.

Today I took a walk from Trafalgar Square and while I was there visited the National Portrait Gallery for a moment of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the west end just slightly after lunch time. It’s always good to walk on foot if you have the time to spare as well as spontaneously find new places to check out. I’d say unique Hotels with a quiet bar as well as a luxury dining room with exquisite ambiance is my sanctuary. After a busy morning you’d want to find somewhere to relax and unwind to spend the rest of your lazy afternoon. I’d just arrived at this Hotel on the corner of Suffolk Place on Haymarket where a friend and I decided to pop in for quick drink in The Brumus Bar and Restaurant located inside the Haymarket Hotel before heading over to The Hamyard Hotel Bar in Soho later in the evening. The hotel interiors were very elegant and quirky as I noticed the Canine Doggies upholstered onto the back of the bar stools and restaurant in a regal purple and pink fuchsia appealed to me. For all you pet lovers at home as they say ‘a man’s best friend is also his dog’ so immediately I felt very at home here. I thought it had a personal touch as well as being distinctly sophisticated which stood out as a style statement. I’m really impressed from what I’ve seen so far even though it was just a brief visit I definitely would pop in again for the foreseeable future.

The Brumus Bar & Restaurant

Haymarket London

Renowned for its exquisite elegance where you’ll experience a traditional afternoon tea in style at the newly refurbished and spacious Brumus Bar & Restaurant situated in the heart of London’s Theatre district..

Expect plush interiors nonetheless, unique art installations reflects the passion of its founder and Creative Director Kit Kemp is present within the interior design of the hotel. Experience the homely and inviting ambience of the hotel restaurants or drawing rooms were afternoon tea is served all day with quintessential flair. Definitely make this your pit stop after a day of shopping or pre-theatre dinning before a West-End show. But the most enticing thing about this place is most definitely the sumptuous hotel cocktail and bar menu with carefully curated wine list and spirits to deliciously mixed cocktails to complimenting menu of continental taste from main dishes to sharing platters.

MONOCHROMATIC STYLE GUIDE FOR GENT’S

STYLING SUBTLE EYE CATCHING LOOKS WITH SIMPLY JUST BLACK & WHITE FOR SPRING SUMMER

Guess what guys it’s almost time for the Weekend again. One of my favourite ways of dressing up a smart casual outfit is opting for a monochrome colour palette with LA inspiration of course “THE HILLS” which seems to be my go to weekend look as it creates a rather clean and minimal feel don’t you think. On a Friday morning on days like today it appears to be a good day with the sunshine out in London town as I make my way to a meeting before lunch time. So, if you’re wondering how should you wear this attire in spring summer without it being too warm it comes down to the choice of fabrics that are light and breathable at the same time.

Fabrics such as linen on jackets seem to be appropriate in this weather as it will be getting rather warm in the next coming months. What I like about classic separates such as light cotton shirts or t-shirts you can team these with a jacket to slightly dress the look up or down depending on where you are going. I like this combination allot as it still looks rather relaxed and comfortable which is how it should feel in spring when its time to hang up your winter wardrobe till next season.

Men's Monochromatic Outfit Ideas
Fitted jeans or trousers can also create nice proportions to elongate or emphasis body shape which I find looks great in appearance and when I take random pictures of myself wearing my outfits. The key is knowing your body shape and making the most of whatever shape and size you are, because everyone is different and deserves to feel great in clothes. As they say black can be slimming, but not only that I have feeling the monochrome trend will be a hit this season with the newly anticipated Beverley Hills 90210 re-boot hits the small screen once again.
