11 Bad Men’s Style “Rules” to Ignore

1. Wear a suit and you’ll automatically look fantastic. While this piece of advice does advocate for dressing up which of course we support, it’s a little bit too simplistic in nature. Fit is the most important factor when wearing any outfit.

2. The more clothes you have in your closet the better and if it’s on sale in a store buy it. Here’s the thing about these two related pieces of advice. Ultimately, quantity does not equal quality.

3. If something is expensive it must be of high quality and you should only buy name-brand items. Just because something is very expensive or has a brand name associated with it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s high quality.

4. An easy way to get started with dressing better is to follow some of the current trends that are going on. It’s never a bad thing to want to upgrade your personal style unless you’re just doing it for superficial reasons or to fish for compliments. If you go out and buy a bunch of items of clothing that are trendy at the moment chances are that they’re probably going to be out of fashion in a year or maybe even less time.

5. Everything in your outfit should match and more specifically that you can’t wear black and brown together. People often advocate for a monochromatic look because it’s a relatively safe way of looking put together after all you won’t have any wildly clashing colors if you’re wearing all the same color. Similarly, people say that black and brown are two fundamentally different in terms of formality to be paired together. Both of these tips require a bit more nuance to be helpful.

6. Pieces of advice on fit. The bottom line with any advice in terms of fit is this, properly fitted garments are ones that are proportional to your individual frame and thus that flatter you well.

7. Some old chestnuts about what to wear, when. Like no wearing white after Labor Day, no wearing white before Memorial Day or no Brown in town. All of these supposed rules are entirely antiquated today.

8. If your trousers have belt loops you have to wear a belt. This tip comes from the fact that above all, most men’s clothing really is rooted in purpose and utility. Belt loops are another similarly utilitarian feature.

9. You always have to match the leathers and the metals in your outfits. This guideline is designed to help men who are just starting out with the principles of classic style to assemble outfits that are more harmonious. And while it’s never going to look bad if you match the metals or the leathers in your outfit you can also be tasteful about bending this rule.

10. You should always match your socks to either your pants or your shoes. While these two fundamental rules are true and sound, that doesn’t mean that you always have to feel like your socks should match your pants directly.

11. Follow all of the advice of your favorite style youtubers or authors to the letter and you can’t go wrong. Obviously, we here at the Gentleman’s Gazette think that we’re providing the best advice possible to all men who are looking to upgrade their style. And while we do hope that you’ll follow the guidelines we put out. Keep in mind that they are just that guidelines. If you want to experiment to some extent to find your own personal style and expression, go ahead and do so!
