   Style in Men's clothing
You want others to be impressed with your mens clothing style so that they’ll take the time to get to know your great personality, but that’s hard to do if part of your look makes people want to cringe. Even if you’re decked out in head-to-toe designer wear, you’ll be somewhat laughable if you fail to follow a few crucial fashion rules. To help you make the most of your appearance, ensure you’re not committing any of the fashion sins below.

Pants without a belt
If you’re working, a casual look and you’re wearing your shirt over your pants so that no one can see your waist, go ahead and forgo a belt -- provided your pants won’t be too slouchy. Wearing your shirt tucked into your pants, however, necessitates wearing a belt. Not wearing belt does make you look odd. A belt literally ties your outfit together and, especially when you’re dressing up, it’s an accessory that men can pour a little cash on to create a great, elegant look. Don’t cinch your belt so tight that you have gut overhang. Do wear one even if your pants don’t need help staying put just to add an extra dimension of style to your ensemble. Line up the shirt button seam, the belt buckle, and the pants zipper seam for a sharp men's clothing look.

Classless clipping
This men's clothing fashion atrocity refers to clipping cell phones, BlackBerrys and other devices to your waist. Not only does it look cheesy and tasteless, strapping electronics to yourself makes you look wider and shorter. You’ll also draw attention to your middle if you decide to join your PDA to your hip, and you probably don’t want the first thing others notice about you to be your waistline -- particularly if you have a burgeoning beer belly. Piling on gadgets makes you seem ridiculously busy, but you run the risk of being perceived as self-important if others notice that you’re not actually as pressed for time as you appear. Cell phones and organizational tools are nice, so try wearing coats or blazers instead with sufficient interior pocket space. A coat or blazer will smarten up your look as well as provide you with enough places to store you can’t live without items.

Chunky shoes, wrong pants
Shoes with a chunky heel have their place in men's clothing fashion, but teaming them with slim-fit dress pants or a fitted suit results in a serious fashion faux paux. Unfortunately, if the bottoms of your pants are very narrow, you’ll end up looking like a clown. It’s easy to understand how this blunder happens since most commercial shoe stores are filled with thick-soled shoes, but avoid purchasing this footwear with the intention of wearing it with everything in your wardrobe. With clothes that are more fitted to your body, your shoes will be clunky and conflicting with the rest of your outfit. Opt instead for sleek loafers or Italian-style dress shoes. The dress shoes in particular may cost you a little more, but you’ll gain fashion points for them for years to come.

Improper pant length
Of the four listed here, this egregious error in men's clothing fashion is probably the one you’ll see most frequently when you walk down the street. Make sure you’re not including yourself in this group of fashion misfits by paying attention to the length of your pants. Different kinds of pants look best at different lengths. The bottom hem of your jeans, for example, can extend all the way to the bottom of your shoe, and will actually make your legs appear longer and leaner if you follow this piece of advice. Dress pants, on the other hand, should cut off at the top of your heel, but be careful that your socks don’t show when you walk,  and that no more than two inches of your socks are visible when you sit down. When you buy new pants, if the length is not quite right but you love them, ask the store to alter them for you since many provide this service free of charge. For clothes you already own, particularly dress pants, try them on and take any that have an improper length directly to your tailor. Since most dress pants have extra fabric on the bottom, it’s easy for anyone with sewing machine know-how to take them up or down a few inches.

Fashion no-nos
Until adolescence or early adulthood, most males are taught to place little much importance on what they wear. Now that you actually care about what you look like, learn a few men's clothing basics to make sure you’re well dressed for the rest of your life. So follow these tricks and you won’t be offending anyone’s fashion sense any time soon.

Many men are spoiling perfectly reasonable outfits by wearing the wrong kind of socks. While there aren't tons of sock rules to follow, there are actually a few that are key to making sure you’re able to pull off your otherwise carefully put together ensembles. Certain socks are only for particular occasions, for example, and certain colors of socks should only be worn with specific outfits. To make sure you’re not sabotaging your style. Have a glance at the sock rules and make an effort to fix any wrong sock tendencies you may have.

White socks are only for sports
Wearing white socks outside of sporting activities is too common. Just the other day I saw a carefully groomed man wearing a decent quality black suit with black dress shoes, but when he sat down two inches of white socks poked out of his shoes and destroyed his look. If you’re going to the gym, white socks are fine. They’re also fine, and actually even look better than black socks, if you’re playing sports outdoors or going for a run. Apart from activities where you’re going to generate a lot of sweat, however, white socks are a big no-no. Black socks should be worn with jeans, so section off your sock drawer and keep your white socks close to your workout clothes and well away from your dress-up wardrobe.

Dress shoes require dress socks
If you’re going to wear dress shoes, you can’t wear athletic socks. It’s simply not enough that your socks be black. The reason for this rule is the following: Athletic socks are often bulkier than dress socks since they’re usually made of heavy cotton or other materials. They tend to bunch out over dress shoes. Athletic socks are frequently ribbed and the contrast of cheap, ribbed socks against smooth, high-quality dress shoes looks odd. Instead, wear dress socks with dress shoes. They’ll be easier to slip in to your shoes and the finer, thinner material will mean that any attention focused on your foot area will remain centered on your swish shoes instead of your socks.

Match your socks with your pants, not your shoes
When wearing dress pants or casual pants, apart from jeans, the color of your socks should be matched to the color of your pants and not by the shade of your shoes. Black pants should obviously go with black socks, and brown pants with brown socks. The same goes for blue and gray pants. Choose your socks carefully for pants in other hues. Try out a few pairs of socks if you must in order to determine which socks match best with your pants. If you’re in doubt, a darker color usually works better. The reason it’s important to match socks with your pants is that when you have to take your shoes off or sit down and your socks are exposed, socks that coordinate with your pants make your outfit appear more fluid. Socks that don’t match your pants will break up an otherwise awesome ensemble.

A few more sock rules to keep your feet in the know...

Don’t roll or fold socks. Aside from looking like you’re stuck in the worst part of the '80s, rolling your socks down around your ankles looks downright sloppy. Folding your socks looks slightly neater than rolling them, but it’s still strange because it makes your ankles appear bulky, especially when you wear slim-cut pants. As well, if you roll or fold your socks and then wear dress pants, your exposed hairy legs will often be visible when you sit down (a look that’s unseemly for business or the office and definitely won’t win you any points with the ladies). Just wear your socks pulled straight up, since doing so will create a lean, coherent silhouette with even the most narrow-leg pants.

Replenish socks often. Buy new socks at least once every six months to a year. You don’t need to buy an entire new collection of socks, but you should buy at least three new pairs. Socks go through a lot of wear and tear, and since they’re often not made from the good quality cotton, they easily get holes. So many people do it that it warrants comment: Socks with holes make you seem like you were either too lazy to go to the store and buy some new ones. Others may think you can’t actually afford these necessary items. In addition, socks that are worn out, have holes or are seriously faded can devastate outfits that otherwise suggest you have a fabulous sense of style.

Avoid socks with shorts. A common sock mistake is wearing socks with shorts. Committing this fashion error also inadvertently results in two further faux pas. Inevitably, you’ll have to either roll, fold or scrunch up your socks when you wear them with shorts since you won’t wear them pulled straight up your calf -- at least we hope not. We’ve already discussed, rolling and folding socks also violates the rules of proper sock etiquette. Second, wearing socks with shorts visually cuts your leg almost in half, thus making your legs appear short and stocky. If your body type is short and athletic-looking to begin with, wearing socks with shorts definitely won’t do your appearance any favors. Since you don’t want to go around wearing shoes without socks, invest in a few pairs of ankle socks that are not overly visible when you wear them with your sneakers. And for the record, steer clear of socks with sandals.

Picking the right socks is not that difficult and now that you know the dos and don’ts of sock etiquette, selecting the correct pair of socks will come easy and you’ll never make a bad sock choice again.



Dressing in layers

Avoid over sized or bulky garments
The fundamental rule for wearing layers is: Avoid over sized or bulky garments altogether. The purpose of layers is to create a warm, sophisticated look that’s both smooth and complementary. Layering pieces that are big or bulky will defeat the purpose. Piling on clothes that are either too large and heavy causes you to appear overstuffed. A nice sweater worn over a dress shirt that’s too big looks messy and unkempt, while adding a heavy wool sweater over a collared shirt appears bulky. When wearing layers, use only those garments in your closet with a light and tailored fit.
    
Wear heavy fabrics on top. Start building a layered outfit with the lighter fabrics underneath and the heavier ones on the top. You should build them gradually in terms of weight from the inside out. In building the outfit this way, your overall appearance will be fluid because you are building up your look. Fail to do this will create a heavy, sad looking outfit that’s unbalanced and unappealing. Picture a polo shirt over a cotton T-shirt -- that works.
   
For guys prone to excessive sweating, fashion can be a real sauna. Guys who sweat profusely face big challenges day and night, as they struggle to find breathe easy clothes that work for their body’s needs. And therein lays the solution -- a basic understanding of fabric and fashion. This is where we come in with the knowledge you need to create and maintain a breathe-easy and sweat-defensive wardrobe.

Good fabrics for guys who sweat
What you should be looking for are fabrics that are considered “breathable.” Breathable fabrics are composed of unique fibers able to transport moisture from one side to the other. As the body sweats, the fabrics allow the moisture to move outside the garment. The fabric breathes, which is a necessary wardrobe feature for guys prone to perspiration.

In this category, two ideal options exist: cotton and wool. These two breathable fabrics, woven from natural fibers, will always be your best bets. Luckily, both cotton and wool come in a variety of blends that offer wonderful foundation pieces on which to build a breathe easy wardrobe. In the cotton buy 100% cotton undershirts, pima cotton sweaters in the fall, and linen shirts and pants in the summer. When you’re looking at wool be sure to select 100% wool sweaters, merino wool and cashmere.

Fabrics to find: 100% cotton, pima cotton, seersucker, linen, 100% wool, merino, and cashmere. Cotton poly blends that are 65% cotton are still breathable and easier to maintain. New versions of poly/cotton blend products are softer and more breathable than ever before. Poly/cotton blended products tend to keep their shape and color longer and do not shrink very much at all, even when washed with warm or hot water. Some people have complained about pilling with some brands. Pilling does occur with low quality blends but can also happen with some types of 100% cotton. Blended products generally cost less and last longer than 100% cotton.

Bad fabrics for guys who sweat
You should also recognize those fabrics that will not work. Obviously, any fabrics that stray from breathing easy are out. Be aware that some cotton and wool blends are a bad idea, corduroy and flannel respectively. Silk is another natural fiber that should be avoided. Though considered breathable, silk doesn't withstand much moisture, A guy who sweats is going to need to wring out his shirt several times a day. Natural fibers aside, guys with perspiration problems want to stay away from heavy synthetic fibers as well. Polyester, polyblends, nylon, and acetate don’t possess the necessary characteristics that allow fabric to breathe, so profuse “sweaters” don’t want to be caught in them. Even worse, these synthetic fabrics, because of their stifling properties, will compound your problem and can make you sweat even more.
                        Fabrics to avoid: Corduroy, flannel, silk, polyester, polyester blends, nylon, and acetate.

Color choices that work
Now that you know which fabrics to chose, color becomes the strategic choice to know. It’s safe to say things are black and white -- almost. Black (or really dark tones) and white are color values, so they don’t show sweat marks as readily. Guys who sweat a lot want to shop for black, navy and pure white as these colors disguise sweat marks. Patterns also provide great camouflage for profuse sweating. Since patterned fabrics consist of varying shades, they appear textured and variegated, which means sweat stains are hard to identify. Light colors need to be left out. Since light blue, pale green and any shade of gray all darken at the first sign of moisture, these colors will betray you in a second. You don’t want to keep too many of these colors in your collection , if you have any, maybe give them to goodwill.
Colors to find: Black, dark navy, dark hues of any color, white, and any sort of pattern.

Adding layers
Even though it sounds counterintuitive, adding layers can help disguise excessive sweating. And the key is focusing on the innermost and outermost layers of your wardrobe.

Starting at the bottom, the best fabric for underwear is 100% cotton boxer briefs. More supportive than boxers but less constricting than briefs, boxer briefs provide the perfect fit for air flow and sweat absorbency. Same for undershirts: The fabric should be 100% cotton, and the fit should be a little loose. While you are well aware of cotton’s perks, you should know that loose-fitting shirts leave room for air to circulate against the skin, preventing clothes from becoming soaked.
     
The other part of bottom layers is the top layer outerwear. Sweaty guys need something durable, warm and absorbent; they need fleece. As a wool blend, fleece maintains all the sweat friendly properties of its puritanical forefather. Not to mention that fleece comes in different weights and styles. You can easily find the pullover, half-zip or zip-up jacket that suits your needs, both in terms of style and sweat.

Dealing with sweat stains
Your ability to create and maintain a sweat-free, breathe-easy wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without the knowledge needed to care for your clothes properly. Sweaty guys face two big problems here: antiperspirant stains and sweat stains.
      
Antiperspirants, while a necessary part of the sweat solution, can be a part of the problem because they often leave a residue on clothes. The first step in battling these sorts of stains is avoiding them. Always allow time for antiperspirant to dry before putting on your shirt.
      
But that won’t be enough to prevent antiperspirant stains so you’ll need some actual methods to fight both. Many home remedies exist for this, so the trick is finding the one that works for you. What’s the easiest tactic? Simply soak garments in cold water before washing. If that’s not enough, try adding a ¼ cup of white vinegar into a cold water wash. Perhaps the most strategic move is to dry your clothes in the sun, which will help bleach stains out naturally. Drying your clothes on the warm-hot cycle will only cause the stains to turn darker and set deeper. Be sure to read the care instructions on the label as to prevent damage of a more serious nature.

Guys who sweat a lot face many challenges, especially when pulling together a wardrobe that’s sympathetic to their condition. But that’s what we’re here for: to help you find clothes that will work for you. The tactics outlined above are rudimentary strategies to disguise sweaty conditions and prolong the life of your wardrobe. Even guys who don’t consider themselves heavy “sweaters” can benefit from understanding these basic tenets of breathe-easy fashion. We all get nervous on big dates
