Even if we all say that the inside is more important to us than the outside, the saying "clothes make the man" is still true. Humans are visual creatures, and it stands to reason that a well-groomed man attracts far more female gazes than someone who doesn't pay any attention to his appearance. That is why we have prepared for you 10 simple tips for men, how to introduce more style into your way of dressing without much effort.
1. Don't try too hard or less = more.
We believe that you own a lot of cool and beautiful things, but that doesn't mean you have to put them all on at once. Less really is more, so don't try to show off all the stylish pieces at once.
2. Invest in really good quality shoes.
You may have to dig a little deeper into your wallet for quality shoes, but the investment will pay off as they will stay with you for much longer than just one season. Choose between black and brown.
3. The basic piece in every man's wardrobe is a white shirt.
A perfectly tailored white shirt is a basic piece of clothing that every man should have in his wardrobe. It is a timeless piece that will get you out of trouble every time you don't know what to wear.
4. If you wear a tie, always keep it narrow.
The truth is, yes wide ties do not suit anyone. A narrower tie is the piece that makes a man look much more elegant.
5. Jeans should always be a nice, tight fit.
Jeans that hang off your legs and are so wide that someone twice your weight could fit into them are not the least bit attractive (to say nothing of pants that hang somewhere in the middle of your thighs instead of your butt... ). Of course, you should feel comfortable in your jeans, but it's important to shop for jeans that fit your figure well.

6. Another simple piece belongs in every man's wardrobe: a white or black basic t-shirt.
No matter how expensive it was. It is important that it is simple, well-fitting and (logically) clean. James Dean's look never goes out of style.
7. Mix expensive and cheap pieces of clothing.
It doesn't really matter how much you shell out for each item of clothing. Even in a t-shirt for €15 you can look just as well-groomed as in one for €100 - but only if you take care of your clothes and make sure your pieces don't come off as cheap.
8. Keep your style icon in mind when shopping.
Depending on what kind of impression you want to leave on the world, it is wise to think about who will be your fashion model or whose clothing style you want to capture. Always keep it in mind while shopping and ask yourself before buying: ''Would __________ (insert person - say James Bond) wear this?''
9. Don't overdo it with jewelry.
Bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings are pieces that men should wear with great restraint and good measure. The one piece of jewelry that will always be "in" is an elegant wristwatch that should be as simple as possible.
10. You feel relaxed and confident in your own skin.
Your attitude towards people, the world and yourself will leave a bigger impression than any outfit. Stand tall, carry yourself tall and proud, fill yourself with self-confidence and leave the impression of a real gentleman in the world who always knows exactly what he wants.
