Everyone loves to dress-up and gather everyone’s attention to themselves. Well, who doesn’t want to get noticed? The first thing that catches the eye of a person standing in front of you is the way you are carrying yourself. First things first, let’s clear the misconception that is widely spread that fashion and styling up is a ‘girly thing,’ and men look well in whatever they wear. That’s not even close to reality. Styling up is a gender-neutral phenomenon and is a must-to-do for every person in this entire world!
We all know that it’s easier for women to pair up their various outfits with a little bit of this and that to make themselves look different every day. Men usually spend most of their time every morning standing in front of their closet, having no idea how to make themselves look different from the previous day. That’s maybe because they don’t have a proper guide available to give them ideas. They can take inspiration from their favorite celebrities. We all have seen Ryan Reynolds nailing every look, from a formal tuxedo look to that of Ryan Reynolds Bomber Jacket’s look. If you still find yourself confused, stay with us.
Ace That Meeting!
If you’re having a very important business meeting to attend today, don’t panic. Go for a perfect suit outfit. Head towards your wardrobe and take out a basic white shirt. Pair it up with black dress pants and add a black tie. A tie is a must-wear for new year’s formal outfit ideas, as it gives you a really professional and sophisticated look instantly. Go for a decent black belt and accessorize yourself with a delicate watch. Wear a nice pair of shoes, not sneakers, nicely polished black leather shoes. Finish this look off with a sleek black suit coat and a decent perfume. Look yourself in the mirror now, and you are good to go!
It’s better if you stick to the dark-colored suits, like navy, dark blue, and charcoal. These tones give you the perfect business formal look.
Black Tuxedo For The Late Evenings
A tuxedo is considered as the ultimate formal dress. They are best suited to be worn in sophisticated events that usually start in the evenings. The presence of Satin is what makes a tuxedo different from a suit. The buttons, collars, and pockets have a touch of Satin, and that goes down the trousers while suits usually prefer self-buttons. Choose a white shirt to wear underneath your tuxedo. Always wear a bow-tie with the tuxedo to stick to the idea of formal dressing. Pair them up with dress shoes always. To step ahead of everyone, you can go for a waistcoat as well. This look is perfect for every kind of formal night event.
Style Up For Fancier Events
There is an upcoming fancy night party, a wedding to attend, a date night or just a get together with your friends, and you’re supposed to look not-so-casual. The outfit that is best fit for these kinds of events is a Cocktail dress. Go for your suit, but this time add a little bit of modern and edgy look. Opt for any color that you like for the suit, a skin fitted trouser would be the best choice. You can also go for blazers. Accessorize your look with a chain on your blazer to show off your style and have a semi-formal look.
Just A Regular Day At Office
If you’re tired of wearing the same outfit to your workplace every day, level-up your look with a jacket, or a blazer. Add them as outerwear over your basic shirt. If you’re not a fan of blazers or jackets, wear a sweater over your shirt. Don’t go for the jeans! Get dressed in a skin-fitted trouser for a rather casual look. Go for sneakers, loafers, or derby shoes of your choice. Just choose any of the colors and styling and get that typical semi-formal look.
You can also go for a mix and match of different monochromatic tones—Navy, grey, or khaki, anything that you have. You can also leave behind every outerwear and just wear a basic shirt, either chequered or textured.
Feel Comfortable In Sweater?
We know that not all of you feel comfortable in those suits and tuxedos. You can still achieve that semi-formal look with the basic sweaters and turtlenecks. Just get dressed in any of your favorite sweaters and wear a trench coat over it. Take the color combination into consideration and wear a mix and match of dark and light shades. If you are wearing a black or navy turtleneck or sweater, opt for a lighter shade of trench coat like khaki or grey. Similarly, if you are wearing a lighter shade inside, go for a rather darker shade for the outside. Finish off the look with oxford shoes for a formal look or wear black derby shoes for a semi-formal look.
Can’t Live Without Denim?
If denim is one of your go-to, you can achieve a semi-formal look in it as well! That’s a tricky thing to do, but nevermind, we are here to guide you. Go for denim jeans that are dark in the shade like navy or dark blue. Skin-fitted would be a plus (not skin-tight). Pair it up with a white or off-white shirt. Take your same tone (that of jeans) blazer from the closet and wear it over the shirt. Keep in mind, the blazer should have a formal look, like a double-breasted dark blue blazer. Finish off the appealing semi-formal look with a pair of loafers.
