We can help you choose the most stylish and trendy outfit suited to your personality from the available options.
‘We the men of India’ does not really care what fashion models put on while walking on those glass ramps. Indian fashion paradigm goes by the downtown fashion appeal and whatever looks good on us according to our sisters and non-sisters.
Surely, the season does play its part in limiting and focusing our choices but in the end, no matter how much cold or hot it gets, we’d always keen to look cool, isn’t it?
Now if you’ve got time and passion to indulge in more professional fashion choices, that’s all good but we don’t really get that option too often. Also, it’s a quite known and established fact that whatever you see and praise in some exquisite fashion show or on a celebrity gentleman, you don’t really get that in your friendly-near store.
So the best option we get is to stop dreaming for haute couture and make the best out of off-the-rack outfits available in your favorite brand outlet.
The Indian lifestyle, in reality, have very little space for such luxury in appearance. We are the people who prefer to have inner beauty rather than fake appearances.
If you are up and ready to get the chic out of the vague looking shelves and dodge those inapt counsels by the ‘vice president of the fashion inc.’ the shopman or the shop girl, we’ve got some tips and tricks to keep your look cool and classy.
Indian men are surely not the very fashion aware kind when it comes to their regular ensemble. Although, we can’t say that they don’t care even a little about their appearance and style stature. What they need is to develop a uniqueness in their approach while making everyday fashion choices. These 5 tips can help you guys make the right decision in creating your own style statement,
Don’t overlook the common fashion theme
The combinations of blue-brown-black-grey with a white lined check on shirts and shades of creamy white and sky blue in chinos are not going anywhere for a good enough time. Every market, based on city and state, has its own fashion theme for casual and professional garments. Whereas ethnic choices in the market are differentiated according to the majority of cultural demands.
Keep it under the current fashion theme of the market is not something to be disregarded completely. For starters, it makes others a little less judgmental in a way, towards your appearance. Being too desirous to maintain ‘out of the blue’ look often tends to backfire in terms of misrepresenting your dressing intentions.
So, try not to avoid what the market offers you and look for your distinct fashion flair.
Try to diversify your sources of inspiration
First off, we don’t expect you to watch or follow Indian fashion week with Neeraj or Gaurav Gupta’s showcase. We don’t have to look for fashion designer’s best creativity on-ramp, most likely unwearable, to create our own fashion sense. You must pay attention to the appearances of people you adore and those you believe are experts and distinguished in your field of interest.
If I’m a tech enthusiast, it makes more sense for me to follow the dressing statement and style of let’s say Elon Musk, Ratan Tata or even Marques Brownlee. Also, why settle on one inspiration when you can learn from many. Pick the best signatures, whatever keeps your fashion rail on the run and on the track.
Don’t hesitate to take a third-person opinion in ‘what goes with what’ scenario
It goes without saying that people struggle most while selecting a matching dress adjacent to their picked one. It doesn’t stop at finding suitable color combinations. The design concepts and ideas are available in quite a rigor to such situations.
Although we don’t expect you guys to go through all of that just to find a matching shirt with your light blue jeans. Just imagine the mood and occasions you plan to wear that outfit, pick the right sets of colors and fabric and ask away for a more refined choice.
Ask your friends and family, better you ask some random guy at the store. Having a collectivist cultural mindset, Indian people are quite good at asking and giving advice and speaking their minds, so leverage the quality without hesitation. Indian lifestyle makes you pretty comfortable about giving expert opinions, but it’s not a good thing all the time.
Consider the mood, occasion and company
In the Indian fashion paradigm, new and bright dresses are an integral part of the celebration. Regardless of how light and grand the occasion is, most of our new dresses start their journeys from one of such occasions. God knows that we do have distinct tastes suited to different festivals and ceremonies. What we forget to consider is our role on that occasion and the company we’ll be keeping at the moment. Imagine a situation where you are invited to a conference on intellectual property law as one of the key speakers.
Now, you can feel a dressing sense that you may choose for the occasion but don’t forget that your audience is some renowned physicists, IP experts and lawyers, academic scholars and industry leaders. I’m sure that’ll give your a good start by limiting your choices. Just remember your role at different places and in different people’s lives, remember your company and people you may interact with any time of the day.
Keep it simple & cool
Last but not least, keep it simple because you are not. We believe you are extraordinary and special, your mom believes that too. But don’t let people know that about you from your dressing sense. Let them know by your actions and words. Your dress must showcase you as a struggler, an enthusiast and someone craving excellence. Sounds cheese yea, but keeping these things in mind can give you a good head start in defining your own fashion statement.
Men’s fashion world works well with grace and professionalism at its core and if you can keep these values close to you, that world will start with you every time you make a dressing choice.
