Realistically,
if you aren’t drawing the kind of salary that would buy a bespoke suit, an
exclusively designers shirts, a classic senator suit or a well-tailored native wear that is trending for men in Nigeria, you’re probably not working in an
environment that expects them, either. It also does not mean you cannot look
good or fashionable. Let’s find out how!
Be Yourself
Not
to get sappy, but this is the most important rule of all. This is where it all
starts. If you don't feel comfortable in something, it will show, and you'll
only look worse. By all means, push your boundaries, but always stay true to
your tastes.
Be Bold and
Be Yourself
Don’t
be afraid to be yourself and be different; you need not to wear the trends, but
you can be unique. There’s nothing wrong with standing out or being the best
dressed man in the circle. Enjoy the attention. Turns out that most regular people assume a man in a sharp senator suit, an exclusive native wear or suit is someone important, and treats him
accordingly
It takes getting used to.
You may initially feel “overdressed” particularly when you’re the only man
wearing an exclusive native wear or a suit as opposed to a shirt or tee shirt.
Learn to embrace it. People
may treat you differently, but the differences will be overwhelmingly positive..
Your “Why” is Important
You need to know what
you’re doing, and why. Otherwise you just end up looking silly.
Know your why. What is
your reason for improving your look? Is it for Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook.
Whatever your reason is has nothing to do with me but be sure it represent your
values and who you are. It’s a good thing. It’ll open doors for you. But you do
have to accept and embrace your new role as someone people look to as a leader,
especially if you’ve never thought of yourself as one before.
Understand
Clothing Fit
Fit
is the most important feature in clothes. In your effort to optimally maximize
your salary, and look your best. You need to take this rule personally.
Trust me; the most
expensive suit in the world isn’t going to look good on you unless it fits your
body right. If you don’t have the right fit, everything else is wasted effort.
A good fit should flatter
your body. It will draw attention to the parts of you that you want to
highlight and it can also minimize aspects you’re not very fond of. Take the
time to get to know your body, and have a tailor help you get accurate
measurements. Learn to say “no” to clothes with a style you like, but a fit
that can’t be adjusted to suit you. It really does matter.
Buy Timeless Clothing
I like this fact “timeless
style,” both in my personal life and for others.
Certain looks are always
going to be dependable. That’s a goal worth striving for: having clothing that
your grandchildren could wear fifty years from now without looking out of place.
I always urge men to
focus on pieces that are both classic and associated specifically with men:
suits, shirts, Native wears, senator suits, and trousers.
Keep your look timeless
and classic, both for your sake and your budget’s.
