Urban fashion tips for men

Being fashionable as a man has slowly but surely become a more common thing. Since fashion is always evolving it can be hard for guys to stay trendy, especially those who want to remain masculine, urban and edgy. I’ll outline some of the current trends in mens fashion as well as timeless practices that are sure to make you stand out while being original.
Don’t over complicate – One of the most common things men do is try and go overboard when looking stylish. The point is to look like you just threw your outfit on, even if you spent an hour or a few hundred bucks on it. Ironic isn’t it? Don’t over accessorize or wear more than one item that is too ‘loud’ such as strong patterns, bright colors or flashy items.
Wear your fit - Baggy clothes snuck their way into mainstream culture, with all credit to Hip Hop & Rap. Never wear stuff too small or too big as this isn’t a good look for anyone, not men or women. Depending on your body type you want to wear something that compliments your body. Finding a good balance between skinny and a bit too big can be difficult as every brand has different sizing but this is why I would stress trying on multiple pairs of pants and shirts. Just about any high end retailer provides tailoring or sales people who really are there to help you look your best. For those on a smaller budget you can turn to places like Uniqlo that offer tailoring on site.
Start with your shoes - Often overlooked by men as a ‘fashion’ accessory but we all know that women love their shoes for a reason. I always recommend starting with black, brown, and white dress / casual shoes as these will match just about any outfit you have. Once you have these pieces you can begin to consider ‘outlandish’ such as those cool Nike SB’s you’ve been eyeing.
End with your wrist – One of the most simple accessories a man can have to stand out and express himself is a watch or bracelet(s). Wearing both allows you to accent your outfit and suggest matching your shoes or complimenting parts of your outfit. This is where color coordination can really come in handing.
Dress up, Not Down – An easy rule to follow is dress up for an occasion rather than down. It doesn’t take much to wear a button up shirt or a nice pair of pants. Often putting on one or two pieces of business / dress wear and the rest of your outfit casual allows you to fit in just about any occasion.
