7 Style principles To Look Better in 7 days
👉 If you’ve been stuck while trying to improve your style, it’s because you’ve been lied to about how to do it. Here’s why you’re stuck 👇
YouTube videos, influencers, and subscription boxes preach that you need MORE! More stuff - more “hacks”.
You’ve been told style is hard - or that you either have it or you don’t.
The truth is, it’s actually easy, and you can learn how to look good.
After having helped over 1000 guys improve their appearance, here are 7 things you can do to make looking good simple. 👇
1. You don’t need to shop from many brands.
It’s easier to do the reverse. Realize that brands build their stuff with a particular guy in mind. Find a small handful of brands that work well for you, and only buy their stuff. You won’t have to wonder if something fits well. You know the brand fits you well. The most stylish guys you know actually shop at very few places.
2. Trends are fine, but don’t let them dictate your style.
Doing so will make you feel like you’re a boat being blown around every which way on the high seas of fashion, always in danger of capsizing. People ask me, "This is trending right now; should I wear it?" That depends. Does it make you look good? Trends are fine. But the ultimate test of whether or not you should wear something? It should make you look good.
3. Dress one deviation above everyone around you wherever you’re going.
This will ensure you always look a bit better than everyone else, but you’re not the asshole wearing a tuxedo to a barbeque.
4. A smaller closet is much easier to deal with than a large one.
Constantly weed through your wardrobe and have no mercy when getting rid of items. Do this first before buying new clothing so you can see where the gaps are in your wardrobe. Then, every 6 months, do it again. Hire slowly, fire quickly, as they say.
5. Simplicity is your friend.
I’ve seldom seen someone’s style problems be solved by adding in more color, patterns, prints, etc. but it’s always the first mistake guys make. Flair is nice to look at on a shelf but hard to put into practice. I know it’s hard, but you need to start with the basics. This typically means blacks, whites, grays, and very little to no pattern, all on classic items we’ve seen forever. Think that’s boring? This is how they’ve dressed James Bond for the last 70 years, and most guys think he looks pretty good.
6. It takes a while to lose weight.
Gaining an education can take years. Changing your personality can take a lifetime. Putting on new clothing takes about 1 minute. It doesn’t excuse the former, but you’re leaving a lot on the table if you’re not dressing well.
7. Most Style problems come from settling.
For my clients, I’ve found time and again that most of their problems come from instances where they kept a shirt because it was just "good enough" or they "just needed something." Don’t settle. Try to find the best you can when shopping for a specific item; otherwise, don't get it. It’s okay NOT to buy something rather than settle for average.
Remember, style is just a means to live a better life.
You don’t have to look the same as you did last year, or last decade. You can enjoy having better style, but more importantly - you can do it with less effort than you ever have, making shopping, pairing, and looking great incredibly simple. You just need to use the right system to do it.
