Couples in healthy relationships bring out the best in each other, and that includes helping each other to look their very best. Your man's appearance obviously appealed to you when you met him, but there's always room for improvement. Now that you've snagged him, it's time to do something about it.

Guys who are smitten with their ladies will bend over backwards to appease them, so take advantage of this by encouraging him to improve his appearance in subtle yet surprisingly effective ways. He may be reluctant at first, but after trying out a few of these suggestions, he'll wonder how he every got by without them—or you.

1. Show Him How to Detail Himself

All guys appreciate a well-detailed car. Show your man how to detail himself by sitting down for a little grooming lesson. Hopefully, your guy already has his basic hygiene in check. Like many dudes, he may think that it's enough. However, small details really make the man. Take him to the salon for a full mani/pedi session, and encourage him to make it a regular thing. Show him how to properly exfoliate his skin, and buy him some tweezers and show him how to use them not just on his eyebrows but wherever stray, unwanted hair wants to sprout.

2. Upgrade His Accessories

For many guys, socks, shoes, belts and other accessories are strictly utilitarian, and little thought goes into how they appear or of their overall quality. Show your man what a difference high-quality accessories make by purchasing him a first-rate pair of shoes, for starters. Buy him a shoe shine kit, and give him contact information for a local cobbler. Toss his unsightly white tube socks in exchange for more eye-catching options. Purchase him a solid watch from a respectable brand like Shinola, Tudor or Tissot. Finally, make sure that all of these pieces coordinate so that he can slip them on and go.

3. Have His Clothes Tailored

Every guy should own at least one nice, properly fitting suit, so take him to a nice suit shop and assure him that the money is well worth it. Like many guys, yours will likely be surprised by how affordable tailoring typically is. Hem and sleeve adjustments usually run around $10 to $20, taking in a waistband usually costs around $20-25, and having an entire suit properly tailored runs around $100 or so.

4. Buy Him Concealer

Yes, really. Like most men, your guy will probably balk at the idea of wearing makeup. However, more and more men are getting on board, and there are plenty of manly concealers on the market today. The best ones also have UV protection, so look for something that contains SPF 30 or higher.

5. Upgrade His Undershirt

Chances are that your guy relies on generic undershirts. Unfortunately, they have a propensity to get untucked throughout the day. They also tend to be too baggy, which makes even a fit man look bulky and unkempt. Buy your guy high-quality men’s undershirts so that he can see what a difference a properly-fitted undershirt can make. These men’s undershirts have the added bonuses of wicking away moisture, controlling odors and regulating temperature, and they're incredibly comfy to boot.

6. Sign Up for Yoga

No, yoga isn't just for girls. Guys derive the exact same benefits from practicing it, including improved flexibility and core strength. Most importantly of all, yoga works wonders on a person's posture. Like many guys, yours may tend to slouch more often than not. This can make even the most dashing man look sloppy. In addition to helping your man look his very best, twice weekly yoga sessions give you something fun to do together.

7. Get Him into a Routine

Finally, most guys are reluctant to get too serious about their grooming and appearance because they just don't want to devote the time to it. Come up with a streamlined routine for your man, and walk him through it a few times. Once he sees how quickly he can whip himself into shape each morning, he should have no problem sticking with the program. After seeing how differently he's treated by people in general after adopting your tips, he will make the routine a lifelong habit.

Hot though he may be, your man could almost certainly use a little encouragement to take his grooming to the next level. Like any devoted wife or girlfriend, you want your guy to look and feel his very best at all times. By putting the above tips and tricks into action, he'll be able to do so with ease.
