Top 3 rules for dressing like a real gent

Aside from selecting brands and styles that exhibit great taste, there are a few other elements that possess the power to make or break your style. While in some cases, rules are meant to be broken, when it comes to style, many well-tested guidelines will ensure any man is dressed to impress. So, if you need help with your wardrobe department, consider following our pointers below. 

A great fit essential

There are many reasons to wear fitted clothing—it looks classy and professional, it flatters your body type, and it gives you confidence. Keep in mind that the fit of your wardrobe staples doesn’t necessarily just mean how tight the garment fits, it could also refer to the length of a pair of Giorgio Cosani pants, the snugness of your Bruno Capelo hats, or the breadth of your Barcelona neckties. We recommend paying particular attention across the shoulders and around the chest for items like suit jackets, blazers, and dress shirts. While these menswear pieces can be altered, tight-fitted dimensions don’t look good and they also make the outfit uncomfortable. 

Opt for quality over quantity

While every dapper gent needs a well-versed closet that’s full of menswear items and accessories, it’s more important to select high-quality pieces that can be used interchangeably and slowly build up your wardrobe over time. This is because superior clothing not only looks and feels better, but it also wears better and is bound to outlast most cheaper forms of apparel. Add in the fact that many low-cost garment companies also come with their fair share of ethical problems in terms of working conditions and it will be an easier transition to more prominent menswear brands!

Develop an understanding of the craft that goes into the items you purchase

While it’s often easy to tell if you love the quality of a product at first glance, have you ever considered a further examination of its craftsmanship? Many of the menswear products and accessories that we sell are handmade, including items like Mauri shoes and belts as well as our vibrant collection of Bruno Capelo hats. Next time you’re hunting for some new staple items, be sure to have a look at the stitching, opt for natural fibers, and conduct some research into the standard of finishing and manufacturing techniques of the brand. The internet is your friend and it’s important to know the quality of what you’re purchasing.
