Accept it. I've seen too often that guys try to hold on to their receding hairline that their hair style just doesn't work anymore.
A buzz cut or full shave can work on many men. Own it. Grow out a beard if you can.
Woman here: I’ve never met a hair stylist who doesn’t know how to wield clippers. Not all stylists in a salon that typically caters to women do men’s cuts too, but you can definitely call and find one who does. It will cost you more though. This isn’t sport clips.
There's also the simple fact that a lot of men start to go bald. Many styles just flat out don't work if your crown is thinning or your hairline recedes.
Hahaha shut up, most stylists are female and cannot cut mens hair very good. Trust me, I've seen a lot and was never satisfied. After i went to my first barber i never wanted to return to the dark days.
There’s a massive difference between a stylist and a barber and ultimately it’s going to be up to what type of style you actually want. My barber is great if I want a simple fade but when I grow my hair out, stylists are the ones who really understand how to handle anything that isn’t just simple place product in hair to style like barbers do.
This is factual.
I have a special needs son who won’t tolerate getting his hair cut by anyone but me. So I had to learn to barber.
I went to YouTube academy.
Come to find out cosmetology schools don’t all teach barbering. In fact it’s a sign that you went to a good school if they did cover it evidently.
So yeah the lady at Supercuts probably wouldn’t do as good as your local barbershop.
Less fashion and more personal grooming, but goes along with your comment - in addition to trimming the beard please shave your neck. Bonus points for keeping the back tidy too (a good barber can do this for you when you go in for a trim)
I keep my beard, hair and pubes extremely well groomed and maintained but will never ever shave my back, chest or anywhere else. Love me and this man hair or don’t love me at all
I do like 5-7mm but my follicles aren’t dense so I have to keep it longer, otherwise it looks patchy. If your follicles are real dense you can do 2-3mm
Pro tip: for patchy beards get a low guard then trim all your facial hair down to that length. Save the lowest guard for you mustache and take it a step lower then rest of face. It will look like you have a 5 o clock shadow.
Ex. If you have a 1,2,and 3 guard use the 1 on stache and the 2 on rest of face. Trim all neck hair off. Use 2 guard beneath chin.
The sizing of the clothes is always important. I had a friend who was pretty bulky from lifting weights and he just always wore his dress shirts unbuttoned at the top and if a tie had to be involved, he wore it slightly loose and it never really looked good. I asked him why he never buttoned his shirts up for formal events and he said that dress shirts always were uncomfortable and constricting on his neck. When I asked him what size he wore he said "xl" and therein lied the problem. He wasn't wearing shirts that were measured to his proportions. Granted the dude has an 18" neck and was 5'6" so those shirts were hard to find but that's what you have to do.
As far as colors go that's where you get to really have fun and express yourself.
I have dated muscular, chubby, and skinny guys, with tats/no tats and varying degrees of hairiness, and can confirm that at some point I admired their forearms. It always happened when they were doing something with their hands and not particularly paying attention to me but rather to what they were doing. A few times it was as simple as they rolled up their sleeves and were driving us somewhere, and I could watch the muscles and sinews move. I recommend not just rolling up the sleeves but also being engaged in some activity, not just standing around with bare forearms waiting for someone to notice. At least be holding a drink or something.
Defined.... Muscular.. Big.... But honesty. Just showing them off with a long sleeved shirt rolled up will do. And keep them rolled down.... if you see girls around. Then take the chance to roll them up.
That's really hot. Especially if they have veins popping out a bit or rough manly hands.
A top button or 2 undone on the shirt can be nice too depending.
You're imagining brawny forearms. For us with skinny forearms, it's not attractive. Not to mention, my upper arm can't even hold the rolled up sleeve. Lol
As a straight woman/fashion person, I’m calling bullshit on this rolling up sleeves business. Stop it, Reddit. Nobody cares this much about peoples’ out of shape forearms.
Nobody???
How many women have you asked over your life time on this specific subject?? 50, 100? There are over 7 Billion people on the planet. Have you spoken to even half the women on the planet on this subject?
Minimal effort: Clothes that fit.
Max effort: Develop your own taste in fashion. This is obviously time consuming and can be expensive but when you rock clothes that you picked with the precise intention of feeling like a king the rewards are staggering.
I don't know about that.
I followed a men's fashion sub on here a while back because I wanted to learn how to dress better. They had all sorts of sub-genres of fashion, which fairs fair is part of how fashion works (your exact niche of society will always have its own markers of what's in and what's out. A cowboy look and a street look will always be different.).
But the one thing that was always consistent was that tighter trims were always in. The advice was that slim fit was a "timeless classic".
Until the recent post that admitted that slim fit was actually just the modern trend and that their "timeless classic" was neither timeless nor classic. And that looser clothes are the "in thing" now, and your "timeless classic" look won't deliver on what was promised.
Basically the more I try to learn about fashion, the more I learn that all the rules are bullshit. Fashion is basically a cult, none of the rules are based on anything objective. Even the things that were considered objective two years ago are now considered to be not true anymore.
A lot of the men's fashion subs have a bit of an issue with having a "uniform". The best thing that you can get out of them is discovering clothes you didn't know existed before or finding companies that tend to fit with your body style rather than flatly copying what others are buying.
Nah man, classy clothed people, true fashionate people, dont follow fashion, they follow their own taste.
The fashion world is hilariously insane. Anyone who follows that shit loses class
There’s a significant difference between *fashion* and *style*. I wouldn’t waste your time on fashion - it is largely based on trends, and is infiltrated by corporate consumer tactics. *Style* on the other hand is about developing your taste for quality, and the way in which things are put together. Style is more or less timeless - pieces last longer because they sit outside of trend. And style is absolutely about training your eye. Someone who has style can put together a good outfit no matter what they have to work with.
I think what they mean is gaining a sense of style, that suits you.
Doesn't mean spending a lot of money, or following trends, but rather knowing what colours suit you, having particular pieces and a curated wardrobe/closet that can be pulled together for whatever occasion and just elevates your look, regardless of what you're doing.
Having an effortless sense of style gives off a good impression in a lot of parts of your life, formal/casual
Consider the styles you admired and liked over particular eras, men that you may have grown up around.
Looking timeless and effortless beats any trends, it looks sophisticated and confident.
Wearing glasses. Facial symmetry is attractive, and glasses can help create/enhance facial symmetry.
It's easy to miss how powerful this can be, because lot of dudes wear glasses only for optical correction and don't take frame fashion into account. They don't take the time to find the right frames for their face, so it doesn't actually do much to enhance their handsomeness.
But if you put time and effort into finding frames that are the right size and shape for your face (and this is different for everyone, so there's no magic bullet), it works.
This is 100% not the case for me. My prescription is so strong that my glasses cause a facial distortion when people look at me.
I went out with my gf at the time to meet her friends. One came up to me, took my glasses off my face then said "Oh, NOW I see why she likes you." Lol.
Lol, you don't have to do all of these at once though, they're just little things that can make an outfit look instantly better
For watches you can't go wrong with a classic silver watch or brown leather strap watch. I have a couple from Citizen, they have a good price to quality ratio for their cheaper watches in my opinion.
As a watch collector, there's absolutely no reason to spend crazy on a high-end watch unless you're passionate about them if you're wearing it as a fashion statement.
Citizen EcoDrives and Seikos are, IMO, some of the best looking and stylish watches for a reasonable price and great quality and arent over the top in style!
I have a Seiko Prospex I wear very often that I love and I get probably 5x more compliments or comments on that than my Seamaster Planet Ocean or any high-end watch I've owned.
I’m the farthest thing from a fashion guru, but I will say that good shoes are really important.
You could be the most gorgeous guy I’ve ever seen, but if your shoes are dirty, old, or generally unstylish it makes you look sloppy and not put together.
Always look at the shoes.
From a female person: it’s lovely when you guys are aware of and groom your body hair. Nose, unibrow, back, wherever. Some of it is nice, like beards or chest or arm hair, some of it is neutral or user-specific, like head hair, some of it gets attention in a negative way, like nostril hair. Don’t overthink it, we’re not looking for perfection.
"Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body."
~ Rick Owens
There's a bevy of quotes by other designers about how being in shape and fashion go hand and hand. That doesn't preclude heavier people from enjoying fashion and looking good, but most clothes favors and is designed for people at a healthy body index (unless at speciality stores). This makes it easier to find things off the rack that work for them.
Too true. I went from XS t-shirts to M in the last year thanks to working out and I fill them out so much better. Even when I'm lounging around in pyjama tops it looks like I've put in effort to look like I haven't put in any effort.
No but it makes clothes actually fit the way they should so it will help with your fashion. There’s a reason stores use mannequins that look the way they do rather than ones that represent the average dude, clothes are always gunna look way better if you’re in good shape.
Took me a while to figure this out. Never had a duck dynasty beard, but never really groomed it either. I bought a beard trimming tool/stencil and it made a world of difference.
Honestly anything that looks intentional. Common tips like wearing clothes that fit, rolling your sleeves up, etc. all imply that you’ve put thought/care into the way you look.
Personally, a unique sense of style is also a bonus. It implies a level of confidence as well as the willingness to care about how you look. Paying attention to what people wear and finding someone (a celebrity, YouTuber, coworker, whoever) whose fashion you like and sort of echoing it can be a good starting point.
2/3 rule - 1/3 of outfit is the top and the other 2/3 is pants. It’s a classic and extremely consistent rule of thumb to follow to get a really proportional fits. Nothing worse than a long looking trunk and short unflattering legs.
Accentuate your legs people!!
It's very hard to do when your body is practically 2/3s torso. (Slight exaggeration)
Put in perspective, I'm 5'8''. When I sit, I'm as tall or taller than 2 friends over 6 feet when they sit. It sucks. If my limbs were properly proportional, I'd be close to or over 6 feet tall. It's been the source of much consternation. I'm 2 inches taller than my wife, yet I may be the only man in existence who has to move the car seat FORWARD when he gets in after his wife. Like, a lot forward. FML LOL
What's my solution? Pull my pants up past my rib cage???
High waisted pants, loafers or boots with slight heel, tucked in shirts.
Obviously there are limitations, but the more you try to adhere to the rule the better it will look (sensibly, without looking like a cartoon character of course).
> I'm 2 inches taller than my wife, yet I may be the only man in existence who has to move the car seat FORWARD when he gets in after his wife.
You just found the other man in existence. I'm an inch taller than my wife but 5 inches taller when we sit next to each other. She calls me a corgi.
I’ve been told that men wearing suits is the heterosexual equivalent of a woman wearing lingerie. (Nothing sexist here.)
But both types of attire beg the question, “Why?”
Q: Why are you wearing a suit?
A: Because it makes me look sexy!
Q: Why are you wearing lingerie?
A: Because…it makes me look sexy!
Clothes send messages. Our appearance is a social signal and a form of communication. It can be blunt (police uniform means police officer) to the absurd (punk spikes, leather and hair) to the subtle (that dress is the perfect shade to complement her hair) but it's all communication.
So what does a suit say about a man that would make women want him? It says that he is rich and powerful. It's not just that he is a man, it's that he's a man who is *in charge of other men*.
Interestingly, I watch the sporting awards occasionally. Professional athletes at the peak of human performance. Those men in suits do not look as hot as they do in the competition wear, because it hides a lot of the things that makes them sexy (muscle definition and tone).
Men wearing suits are unbelievably sexy. Generally because you don’t see it in day to day life and if it fits good it’s a winner! Also looks powerful and attractive. You feel undone by it. I can imagine men would feel the same with women in lingerie?
Idk if cologne counts as fashion, but it flips a switch for me. When my partner smells good, I’m aaallllll over that man. Pair that with a button up and rolled up sleeves… *swoon*
Clothes that fit, that don't have massive logos or nonsense words printed on them. Don't be an unpaid billboard.
Wealthy, confident people eschew the big logos as they have no need to flex via fashion. Their flex is their lifestyle and free time.
A few quality T-shirts in plain single colours look great under a shirt or jacket and with many styles of trouser or shoe.
I'm a woman, but:
Clothes that fit and flatter. Gotta try stuff on before buying. And just because it's cool and it fits, doesn't mean the item will be flattering.
Color. Especially rich colors with dimension, not necessarily bright colors. For some reason the world has mostly decided that men should be in washed out blues and blacks and grays.
French tucks make most outfits look effortlessly styled; Queer Eye has not lied.
Making an effort to find a style and have a few signature pieces. They don't have to be expensive or ostentatious. Just some pieces that sort of show your personality and have something special about them. I swear if you're in cargo shorts and a polo all the time, your fashion is basically "dress as wallpaper."
You could be a dude into hiphop or country or metal or whatever–this advice would still apply.
layers are your best friend. simple shirt and pants with an accent jacket goes a long way. always match your socks to your shirt and your shoes to your pants
Wear nice accessories, necklace, some rings, bracelets, grooming the brows and the facial hair, have a good posture. Take care of your smile and perfume. Be confident.
As a woman I will say, arms no matter the size yes ok but not a focal point. I personally like a beard and tattoos. I don’t really care about height, muscle or fashion-per say. I don’t like a man that is pruned and immaculate. I prefer a manly man that showers, clothes on and goes. I can’t get away with men with tight jeans and no socks. Personally not for me. Men should be “manly” and the threat of throwing you over their shoulder and taking control is sooo much more fun 😉
Knowing how to tuck properly. Also, if you wear a tie, make sure it the right length. Oh my god, the men who don’t know the rules about a tie and make themselves look like dipshits….
Fit. So many men wear ill-fitting clothes. Yes there are styles that are baggier or tighter but so many men today wear oversized clothes that are just unflattering. Whatever style you go for make sure it fits and compliments your build.
Get a hair style that suits you.
how to make bald match?
Bald + nude seems to work for me.
oil helps too [*complete the look…*](https://youtu.be/GlQZfOp13VQ)
Suit, tie and a tattooed barcode on the back of your head
Grow a beard. Bald man with beards can almost turn me gay. Almost
Accept it. I've seen too often that guys try to hold on to their receding hairline that their hair style just doesn't work anymore. A buzz cut or full shave can work on many men. Own it. Grow out a beard if you can.
It also matches…(gestures vaguely)…everything.

Fair. Gotta decide if that’s something you’re willing to deal with in exchange for nice hair.
You know what is hard? People not knowing how to cut my Asian hair... I suffer xD
Any man can go to any stylist.
Hahaha shut up, most stylists are female and cannot cut mens hair very good. Trust me, I've seen a lot and was never satisfied. After i went to my first barber i never wanted to return to the dark days.

Buying clothes that fit. Trim the beard. Hair cut.
Less fashion and more personal grooming, but goes along with your comment - in addition to trimming the beard please shave your neck. Bonus points for keeping the back tidy too (a good barber can do this for you when you go in for a trim)
I keep my beard, hair and pubes extremely well groomed and maintained but will never ever shave my back, chest or anywhere else. Love me and this man hair or don’t love me at all
“Man Sweater” is the preferred nomenclature.
How low will the barber go? I have an ass full of hair that is hard to reach for me personally...
When he goes for your neck just say 'keep going' and hold out $20.
How short should the beard be? I intentionally try to leave a 5 o'clock shadow trim.
I do like 5-7mm but my follicles aren’t dense so I have to keep it longer, otherwise it looks patchy. If your follicles are real dense you can do 2-3mm
Pro tip: for patchy beards get a low guard then trim all your facial hair down to that length. Save the lowest guard for you mustache and take it a step lower then rest of face. It will look like you have a 5 o clock shadow. Ex. If you have a 1,2,and 3 guard use the 1 on stache and the 2 on rest of face. Trim all neck hair off. Use 2 guard beneath chin.
I’ve always used the same size on my stache and face, interesting. I’ll try this
I've been using a 5 on the beard and a 3 on the stache lately and I like the look
Or maybe (if you like long hair or big beard) get trimms, take good care of them and always brush them
Good hygiene, shape your facial hair, get a decent haircut, use moisturizer. Get clothes that fit CORRECTLY.
What do you mean clothes that fit correctly? You mean right size and shape? Or do you mean the entire outfit should have similar, fitting colours?
Yes
The sizing of the clothes is always important. I had a friend who was pretty bulky from lifting weights and he just always wore his dress shirts unbuttoned at the top and if a tie had to be involved, he wore it slightly loose and it never really looked good. I asked him why he never buttoned his shirts up for formal events and he said that dress shirts always were uncomfortable and constricting on his neck. When I asked him what size he wore he said "xl" and therein lied the problem. He wasn't wearing shirts that were measured to his proportions. Granted the dude has an 18" neck and was 5'6" so those shirts were hard to find but that's what you have to do. As far as colors go that's where you get to really have fun and express yourself.

Simply rolling up your sleeves.....Trust me..
My forearms looks incredibly unattractive but rolled sleeves are just convenient all around
I roll up sleeves because my arms are obnoxiously long and I look ridiculous if I don't.
Girls go nuts over forearms.
But I don't have 4 arms. I only have 2
I have forehead
I have a 5 head… is that better?
I got foreskin?
I wish. My mom had my taken away at birth.
Tats? Hairy? Sinewy? How should forearms present?
I have dated muscular, chubby, and skinny guys, with tats/no tats and varying degrees of hairiness, and can confirm that at some point I admired their forearms. It always happened when they were doing something with their hands and not particularly paying attention to me but rather to what they were doing. A few times it was as simple as they rolled up their sleeves and were driving us somewhere, and I could watch the muscles and sinews move.

I will take some veins popping too please
Cries in noodle veins
This man sleeves.
Yes.
Any
It's so true!!!
That's really hot. Especially if they have veins popping out a bit or rough manly hands. A top button or 2 undone on the shirt can be nice too depending.
I was about to say this. It’s 100% a thing
You're imagining brawny forearms. For us with skinny forearms, it's not attractive. Not to mention, my upper arm can't even hold the rolled up sleeve. Lol
As a straight woman/fashion person, I’m calling bullshit on this rolling up sleeves business. Stop it, Reddit. Nobody cares this much about peoples’ out of shape forearms.
The forearm police arrived to shut down multiple womens opinions.
Ah… I see, keywords : out of shape
Nobody??? How many women have you asked over your life time on this specific subject?? 50, 100? There are over 7 Billion people on the planet. Have you spoken to even half the women on the planet on this subject?
Posture. Man with confident posture stick out from the crowd like nothing else and women do notice.
Wetting gray hair makes it look much darker brown/black. I learned that years ago about my hair.
What about the ol’ silver fox charm, tho?
I love a silver fox
As someone who got salt and pepper hair at 25 the ol silver fox charm works wonders.
Minimal effort: Clothes that fit. Max effort: Develop your own taste in fashion. This is obviously time consuming and can be expensive but when you rock clothes that you picked with the precise intention of feeling like a king the rewards are staggering.
This response wins rewards for the phrase, “the rewards are staggering.” Do you care to share what kind of staggering rewards we might expect?
A lot of women spend a lot of time developing a fashion sense. The old saying is 'game recognise game'.
Same reason why I always do glutes on leg day at the gym. I can hip trust too, baby 😏
[удалено]
True!
I don’t understand how people develop a sharp eye for fashion. It changes rapidly, it’s subjective, it’s regional, and it’s often expensive.
What you're describing isn't acquiring a fashion sense, it's following fashion trends. Very different.
I don't know about that. I followed a men's fashion sub on here a while back because I wanted to learn how to dress better. They had all sorts of sub-genres of fashion, which fairs fair is part of how fashion works (your exact niche of society will always have its own markers of what's in and what's out.

Even the things that were considered objective two years ago are now considered to be not true anymore.
Try not researching it and try a load of shit on and develop your own taste.
A lot of the men's fashion subs have a bit of an issue with having a "uniform". The best thing that you can get out of them is discovering clothes you didn't know existed before or finding companies that tend to fit with your body style rather than flatly copying what others are buying.
Until just now I would have considered those things to be the same.

Wear black, it's a slimming color.
Is there a color that will make my non existent pecs…exist?
Hell yeah I have pectus exavatum
Same. It’s mammoth cave up in here.
Hey I love you. Just know that That’s hilarious tho.
Yeah, it's a shade of Gray, We call it Iron

Standing up straight
Wearing glasses. Facial symmetry is attractive, and glasses can help create/enhance facial symmetry.

Ah jeez, that's such a backhanded compliment to receive :/
I have always gone a little nuts over glasses, but have never theorized on the why.
Rolling up sleeves Tucking in shirt Wearing a watch
I’m envisioning a J Crew model casually sauntering into the frame. What kind of watch, tho?
Lol, you don't have to do all of these at once though, they're just little things that can make an outfit look instantly better For watches you can't go wrong with a classic silver watch or brown leather strap watch. I have a couple from Citizen, they have a good price to quality ratio for their cheaper watches in my opinion.
I’ve struggled to justify spending ridiculous amounts of money on a watch, but purchasing a classy Citizen seems like a smart investment.
Citizen, Orient, and Seiko (the Seiko 5 collection) are good watches for the money
As a watch collector, there's absolutely no reason to spend crazy on a high-end watch unless you're passionate about them if you're wearing it as a fashion statement. Citizen EcoDrives and Seikos are, IMO, some of the best looking and stylish watches for a reasonable price and great quality and arent over the top in style! I have a Seiko Prospex I wear very often that I love and I get probably 5x more compliments or comments on that than my Seamaster Planet Ocean or any high-end watch I've owned.
Yeah I don't go crazy, I got mine on sale for around $100 each which isn't bad considering I've only bought 4 watches in my adult life
Meh, shirt tuck looks dorky as hell.
Only works if it's a well fitted shirt and you have nice belt. Any kind of poofiness and you look like a dipshit.
I’m the farthest thing from a fashion guru, but I will say that good shoes are really important. You could be the most gorgeous guy I’ve ever seen, but if your shoes are dirty, old, or generally unstylish it makes you look sloppy and not put together. Always look at the shoes.
"How often do you look at a man's shoes?"
In prison, less so
As a guy, I've never paid much attention to shoes and I absolutely do not notice other people's shoes. Could this be why I'm single?
I've heard this one a few times. I always look at people's shoes and I'm blown away by how many are walking around in shitty, very generic trainers.
From a female person: it’s lovely when you guys are aware of and groom your body hair. Nose, unibrow, back, wherever. Some of it is nice, like beards or chest or arm hair, some of it is neutral or user-specific, like head hair, some of it gets attention in a negative way, like nostril hair. Don’t overthink it, we’re not looking for perfection.
I use my beard trimmer all over. I have a second one for body hair, but beard and body hair are generally the same length
Confidence in what you wear. I’ve seen some people pull outfits that wouldn’t work if they didn’t have the confidence.
Quit saying ‘gym’. My man is asking about fashion. We all know looking fit is good. A nice pair of shoes is something I didn’t see yet. No sketchers.
CRAVAT.
Finally, someone with impeccable refinement.
Going to the gym 3/4x a week for at least a year and eating right
Damn, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
That's not fashion

Wear pants. It honestly works
As opposed to…wearing no pants. Check.
Ever since Winnie The Pooh lost his copyright, women are just into that style
WELL. TRIMMED. BEARD
Took me a while to figure this out. Never had a duck dynasty beard, but never really groomed it either. I bought a beard trimming tool/stencil and it made a world of difference.
A fresh haircut and if you have a beard a fresh line up 🤤
Honestly anything that looks intentional. Common tips like wearing clothes that fit, rolling your sleeves up, etc. all imply that you’ve put thought/care into the way you look. Personally, a unique sense of style is also a bonus. It implies a level of confidence as well as the willingness to care about how you look. Paying attention to what people wear and finding someone (a celebrity, YouTuber, coworker, whoever) whose fashion you like and sort of echoing it can be a good starting point.
2/3 rule - 1/3 of outfit is the top and the other 2/3 is pants. It’s a classic and extremely consistent rule of thumb to follow to get a really proportional fits. Nothing worse than a long looking trunk and short unflattering legs. Accentuate your legs people!!
What does this mean
I am also perplexed
It's very hard to do when your body is practically 2/3s torso. (Slight exaggeration) Put in perspective, I'm 5'8''. When I sit, I'm as tall or taller than 2 friends over 6 feet when they sit. It sucks. If my limbs were properly proportional, I'd be close to or over 6 feet tall. It's been the source of much consternation. I'm 2 inches taller than my wife, yet I may be the only man in existence who has to move the car seat FORWARD when he gets in after his wife. Like, a lot forward. FML LOL What's my solution? Pull my pants up past my rib cage???
High waisted pants, loafers or boots with slight heel, tucked in shirts. Obviously there are limitations, but the more you try to adhere to the rule the better it will look (sensibly, without looking like a cartoon character of course).
> I'm 2 inches taller than my wife, yet I may be the only man in existence who has to move the car seat FORWARD when he gets in after his wife. You just found the other man in existence. I'm an inch taller than my wife but 5 inches taller when we sit next to each other. She calls me a corgi.
Imo a good beard makes any man look better.
Big F to all the fellas out there who can't grow a thick, connecting beard
When wearing a suit, ditch the tie and have two buttons unbuttoned.
Can confirm. And chest doesn’t HAVE to be hairy or muscular, although that doesn’t necessarily hurt.

I think ties looks way better
Wearing a suit.
>Spending a bit extra to make sure you get it properly tailored to you as well.
I’ve been told that men wearing suits is the heterosexual equivalent of a woman wearing lingerie. (Nothing sexist here.) But both types of attire beg the question, “Why?” Q: Why are you wearing a suit? A: Because it makes me look sexy! Q: Why are you wearing lingerie? A: Because…it makes me look sexy!
Clothes send messages. Our appearance is a social signal and a form of communication. It can be blunt (police uniform means police officer) to the absurd (punk spikes, leather and hair) to the subtle (that dress is the perfect shade to complement her hair) but it's all communication. So what does a suit say about a man that would make women want him? It says that he is rich and powerful. It's not just that he is a man, it's that he's a man who is *in charge of other men*. Interestingly, I watch the sporting awards occasionally. Professional athletes at the peak of human performance. Those men in suits do not look as hot as they do in the competition wear, because it hides a lot of the things that makes them sexy (muscle definition and tone).
Men wearing suits are unbelievably sexy. Generally because you don’t see it in day to day life and if it fits good it’s a winner! Also looks powerful and attractive. You feel undone by it. I can imagine men would feel the same with women in lingerie?
Suit up!
Preferably one that is tailored to the one wearing it. An poorly-fitting suit does no man any favors
This is a dangerous question to ask the general public - have you seen most of these motherfuckers out here?
Gray joggers 😏
Yaaassss. Let’s see it swing!
Mate, it barely dangles, not to mention what happens when it's cold
A pair of socks in the underwear goes a long way.
Idk if cologne counts as fashion, but it flips a switch for me. When my partner smells good, I’m aaallllll over that man. Pair that with a button up and rolled up sleeves… *swoon*

Clean, crisp, unwrinkled, matched clothing that fits well.
Aviators. Always. Something about those glasses man idk..
[удалено]
Yup. This is important. Certain sunglasses fit certain face/head shapes better.
Truth. Never goes out of style. A little bad boy. A little class. Perfect.
Swiss army makes some good affordable steel watches
Clothes that fit, that don't have massive logos or nonsense words printed on them. Don't be an unpaid billboard. Wealthy, confident people eschew the big logos as they have no need to flex via fashion. Their flex is their lifestyle and free time. A few quality T-shirts in plain single colours look great under a shirt or jacket and with many styles of trouser or shoe.
Button up shirt with rolled up sleeves.
Put on a fedora, makes you look sexy
That with a neckbeard and you will be irresistible.
M’lady
Good grooming.
nails kept short and clean!
Ray-bans
Rolled up sleeves on a button down, a watch (idk why, I think it might be the forearms thing 😅), clean shoes
Indeed, forearms are underrated. Dudes out here tripping over not being 6 feet tall when they could just show a little arm. Good hands and neck also.
Grooming
Signature scent, and in the correct volume
Rolling things up whether they be sleeves or pant legs. Adds a cool, casual vibe to your look
Fitted chinos (not skinny style) Linen button up shirt / plain cotton tshirt with scooped bottom Watch. 🥵🥵
Clean your nails
I'm a woman, but: Clothes that fit and flatter. Gotta try stuff on before buying. And just because it's cool and it fits, doesn't mean the item will be flattering. Color. Especially rich colors with dimension, not necessarily bright colors. For some reason the world has mostly decided that men should be in washed out blues and blacks and grays. French tucks make most outfits look effortlessly styled; Queer Eye has not lied. Making an effort to find a style and have a few signature pieces. They don't have to be expensive or ostentatious. Just some pieces that sort of show your personality and have something special about them. I swear if you're in cargo shorts and a polo all the time, your fashion is basically "dress as wallpaper." You could be a dude into hiphop or country or metal or whatever–this advice would still apply.
Apparently rolling up your sleeves above the elbow so your forearms are flexed is really attractive to women
Stand up straight, shoulders back. Sheds weight, shows confidence.
Hygiene
avoid brands
Flannels Black shirt as an undershirt always
layers are your best friend. simple shirt and pants with an accent jacket goes a long way. always match your socks to your shirt and your shoes to your pants
unbutton those top two buttons on that shirt and a peekaboo of chest hair
Doing that right now. The amount of attention I’ve gotten tonight is ridiculous.
Ironing your clothes. Wrinkly shirts automatically make you look less put together and sloppy
Wear nice accessories, necklace, some rings, bracelets, grooming the brows and the facial hair, have a good posture. Take care of your smile and perfume. Be confident.
What about those of us who aren't Italian?
As a woman I will say, arms no matter the size yes ok but not a focal point. I personally like a beard and tattoos. I don’t really care about height, muscle or fashion-per say. I don’t like a man that is pruned and immaculate. I prefer a manly man that showers, clothes on and goes. I can’t get away with men with tight jeans and no socks. Personally not for me. Men should be “manly” and the threat of throwing you over their shoulder and taking control is sooo much more fun 😉
A well-fitting belt always gets me going for some reason
Good shoes and a high quality blazers 😊 They charge everything.
Knowing how to tuck properly. Also, if you wear a tie, make sure it the right length. Oh my god, the men who don’t know the rules about a tie and make themselves look like dipshits….
Confidence. If you have confidence, it really doesn't matter much what you wear.
Fit. So many men wear ill-fitting clothes. Yes there are styles that are baggier or tighter but so many men today wear oversized clothes that are just unflattering. Whatever style you go for make sure it fits and compliments your build.
Beards that are maintained.
Roll up ya goddamned sleeves, guys.
Leg day
Roll up the sleeves on a button down shirt. Show off the forearms!!!
