The biggest improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too big. In male modelling often it is the other way around. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body without being overly tight. Bad fit is an epidemic so keep it simple. Shopping doesn’t have to be a strain. Many men find crowded shops full of hundreds of options very daunting. If you have the money, hire a personal shopper for an hour. If you have a woman in your life, ‘treat’ her to a day out and try to trust her fashion sense but don’t end up looking like her favourite actor!

You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewellery or more than three colours. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more.

Casual doesn’t have to be boring. In male modelling you should try to have more fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently. Pay attention to your supporting pieces. Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer. Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like your boss.
