Women are inundated with how they can look their very best every day, but what about the guys? And no, this isn’t some self-pitying woe-is-us piece, but rather a reminder that guys, just as much as girls, want to look their best.
Being a dude can be a double-edged sword. They need to have a Schroedinger’s attitude to how they look. They should both care but also not care. But really, we all know what the real answer is. Whether it’s at work or in your personal life, here are 4 steps to finding your best look.
Find the Right Hairstyle
Hairstyles should be easy, but all it takes is one wrong move to make it look like you’ve spent the morning fighting your way through a wind tunnel. You’ll need to find a hairstyle that suits you, whether that means going for the classy quiffed look or trying something a little shorter. There are a surprising number of hairstyles you can try out, and depending on how your hair grows, you should find the right one for you.
It doesn’t need to end with the hair on your head, either. You can also consider laser hair removal for men to make chest, back, and leg hair more manageable.
Buy Clothes That Fit
The stereotypical idea is that men aren’t as concerned with fashion as women are, but that’s not always true. It’s only because men have a set amount of clothes to try: shirt, jeans, shoes, and that’s it.
But even with something so straightforward, mistakes can still be made. Ill-fitting clothes can ruin a look, regardless of how good your hair looks. Because of this, it’s always best to try clothes on before buying and even get them tailored if you can to ensure that you look sharp and fashionable, even if you’re just wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
Don’t Neglect Your Skin
Your skin is another thing that many guys don’t think about, but merely moisturizing twice a day and investing in a face scrub will keep your skin looking young even as you approach middle age and beyond.
You can also take other measures to keep the skin healthy. Keep your alcohol intake down, get enough sleep, and avoid smoking. When combined with a consistent skincare routine, you’ll find your best look in no time.
Think Of Getting Into Shape
Not all guys need to be meatheads with bulging muscles, but hitting the gym and cutting away belly fat can do wonders for how you look. You can go for a lean style or one that’s a little bulkier depending on what works best, and the mental benefits and the physical ones will be fantastic.
Looking Your Best
Admittedly, guys have it a little easier than women when it comes to looking good, and often, all it takes is a quick hairstyle change and a sharp getup. Even so, if you’re still figuring out what works for you, this advice can be invaluable. It will make everyone, from girls you want to impress to your boss so you can get that promotion and take notice.
