Men want to navigate the world with confidence and style. Your clothing should represent your elegance and savviness. However, there are clothing mistakes that make men look messy all around us. If you want to avoid these nasty habits, read on to learn about the common and egregious examples.
Leaving Bits of Animal Fur
If you have a pet who sheds, a lint roller is your best friend. There is nothing more earth-shattering than leaving your home in your best clothing, only to discover that animal hair coats your threads. Though you don’t want to admit it, people notice when you have an extra layer of fur on your clothes. All men should avoid this messy mistake.
Wearing Damaged Clothing
Wearing damaged clothing is one of the most common clothing mistakes that make men look messy. People wear the same clothing items day after day. Over time, it makes sense that your favorite items would experience some amount of wear. But when that happens, it’s time to take them out of rotation.
Untailored Suits
Men should feel a sense of confidence and power when they put on a suit. However, if the legs are too tight and the jacket is too loose, you may feel more like a clown than a stockbroker. Of all the suit rules every gentleman should know, perhaps the most important is getting their suits tailored. Do not ruin a job interview or leave a poor impression because you couldn’t find the time to get a quick fitting. Make your image a priority and stop by your local tailor shop.
Ignoring the Iron
Too many men stuff their clean clothes into their closets, let them sit, and throw them on without noticing the unintended wrinkle patterns left behind. But other people will notice. Men who refuse to use an iron will suffer the consequences of wearing wrinkled clothing. People will judge you for overlooking this normal part of decorum and style.
