As we grow, we no longer have to worry about a lot of things - peer
pressure, college assignments, birthday parties, but unfortunately, as
we get older, fashion does become a cause of worry. No longer can we
throw a cartoon printed T-shirt and get away with it. Your personal
style should grow with your age and this will only help you look your
best. And when we say dress
your age, we do not mean a feeble attempt to look more mature. The 20s
are your formative years and hence an integral part of your life. dearJulius.com
makes sure you look the part!
Back to Basics
We know it’s your twenties, and you absolutely must experiment and go
all out, but, it’s also not the time to neglect the basics. After all,
they are called ‘basics’ for a reason. They are the essentials every man
should have in their wardrobe. Invest in a few core pieces like a white shirt,
a black leather jacket, a pair of well-fitted dark denims, a tailored
blazer, a gray suit, a solid coloured tie and tan shoes. You’ll realise
that they’ll soon become your preferred go-to tools for both sartorial
satisfaction and signature looks.
Learn to experiment
Experimenting is not an unknown concept. We do it in our daily lives
and it’s time you extend that in your dressing too. Feel free to test
the waters with the latest fashion trends - after all trends are created
for young people in their 20s. Although you may not look like a runway
model, integrating new clothes from each season will give you sartorial
satisfaction. It’s also the perfect way to find your signature style.
Whether it’s trend led or timeless, casual or edgy, bright or subtle;
feel free to experiment with cuts, patterns, colours and who knows, you
might end up rediscovering yourself.
Fit is the new black!
The biggest problem with most Indian men is they wear clothes bigger
than their actual size. Drop all rules you know for clothing because
fact is that if it doesn't fit, it’s doesn't matter. Gone are the days
when it was customary to buy clothes a size larger. Not only do
ill-fitted clothes look trashy, they are big turn-off. So, make sure you
wear clothes that fit you like a glove, not tight, but seamless.
A great suit is for everyone
You can never go wrong with a T-shirt and jeans, but nothing spells
dapper than a simple dark (gray, black or navy) suit. Besides, a suit is
your key to success for formal affairs. A finely tailored two-button
suit can also be worn as a make shift tux if paired with a white
French-cuffed shirt, similar colored pants, bow-tie and lace-ups.
Chances are that this might be the only thing that you can afford on
your own in 20s.
Choose colours wisely
Choosing colours that complement your complexion or hair colour can take
your outfit to another level. For instance a dark/tanned skin goes well
with darker, richer colours and light skin with muted colours –
brighter colours have the ability to make men with light skin look wash
out. Eye colour is also an important detail to consider. In fact men
should choose accessories like a pocket square or cuffs according to their eye colours. Though this is a very minute detail, you’ll be surprised by the impact it makes.
