Five Easy Ways for Male Students to Upgrade Their Style

1: T-Shirt to Polo

Anytime you reach for a t-shirt, ask yourself if a polo would work better. And it doesn’t have to be a name brand designer garment Name . Old Navy makes fine day-to-day polo shirts that because of their closer fit and collared necks, are always dressier than a T-shirt. In addition, the fabric, when made from a natural material, is cooler than the more tightly woven t-shirt. When you wear a polo, wear the collar down as opposed to popping it up.

2: Sweatshirts

Sweatshirt is: a loose, long-sleeved, collarless pullover of soft, absorbent fabric, as cotton jersey, with close-fitting or elastic cuffs and sometimes a drawstring at the waist, commonly worn during athletic activity for warmth or to induce sweating. A sweatshirt outfit can make you look simple but that’s not how they make you feel . you can wear a sweatshirt to workout but you can‘t wear asweater until winter arrives. That’s the major difference between a sweater andsweatshirt. Sweatshirts are one of the many clothes worn in summer.

3 – Jeans

Faded & Distressed Jeans to Dark & Clean Denim – Light colored jeans with holes are fine for the young man looking to signal his personal style– for decades this look has been carried by rock stars. A man moving into the professional world, however, wants to ensure his denim is less conspicuous and dressier.  In fact, with the common acceptance of dark-colored denim in many workplaces. As such, make the transition to dark jeans within a year of graduation, so that you can transition out of any pairs that will not be wearable once you begin down your career path.

Low-Rise Jeans to Mid-Rise Jeans – Men in excellent physical shape are often drawn to jeans cut low.  Whether it be the way it changes their torso proportions or the fact that they’re in fashion according to the cute sales clerk at the counter, many men will purchase jeans cut this way.

Skinny Jeans to Straight or Relaxed Fit – Similar to the reasoning above–skinny jeans compliment a lanky build.  However, once you start adding weight and filling out, those same jeans make you look like an over-the-hill. Skinny and low-rise jeans are trendy and hip, but a young man transitioning into manhood should start investing in style pieces that are masculine and classic.

4 – Footwear

Running Shoes to Casual Leather Shoes – Unless you’re going to be running, refrain from wearing running shoes.  Yes, they are comfortable, but so is the right pair of casual leather shoes.  Leather shoes come in a range of prices and build.  I advise staying away from anything that is bright, overly contrasted, or of a style that draws too much attention to itself.

Flip Flops to Slip-on – Flip flops belong on the beach, at the pool, or in the shower.  They are not appropriate to wear for attending class or meeting your study group, especially when you could just as easily slip on.  Not only are Slip-on more stylish and cover your toes, but they are also more stable and comfortable.

5 – Your Appearance

Male attractiveness is far more contextual and malleable than female attractiveness, so there are more ways in which a man who is not genetically-gifted can raise his desirability, by making different choices.
