Today, imperial moustaches, riding breeches, shirts are in fashion, and tomorrow – light stubble, hawk-like pants, robes. Who knows what to expect the day after tomorrow? Men's fashion is as unpredictable as women's. However, there is still something stable here, acceptable for all ages and generations. The name of this stability is classic men's clothing: the one that young people and the elderly can appreciate. No matter how times change, no matter what fashion trends visit our lives, this position remains the unchanging favorite of the men's wardrobe for hundreds of years. Some details change, are supplemented, forgotten, return again... but the basis always remains recognizable!
Peculiarities
What is so universal about classic men's clothing:
- Firstly: it can make any boy a confident, successful man. This is not the case with things that come and go in fashion. Agree – fashionable things do not suit everyone. If everything suits one man, another may look ridiculous wearing something similar. There are many such options. With classics, things are different;
- Secondly: in winter, spring, summer, under any circumstances, such things remain relevant. Having the opportunity to wear classics, you will always look appropriate: be it an office, a celebration, a business event, a party. The modern world, striving to achieve minimalism, has made business outfits comfortable, casual.
Nowadays, the usual image of a man goes beyond the boundaries outlined earlier. Knitted vests, fake vests, and raglans are becoming increasingly popular. A strict turtleneck is also part of a business image today. Thanks to this, men's classic style in clothing has become even more loved by millions of people, so it is impossible to do without classics.
Options
There are a lot of options for "what to wear" following the style under discussion. The classics of men, guys of the modern world are a combination of style, comfort, moderation. In order to look like a million in this situation, it is important to learn one rule: you should give preference exclusively to natural fabrics!
It is difficult to look stunning wrapped in synthetics. Even an internal feeling of discomfort will give you away. Therefore, there is only one conclusion: forbid yourself from saving on quality. If you have to limit yourself financially, choose a universal set of things from which you can create many images.
For example:
- A suit, several different shirts, two or three ties. You can play with colors. A turtleneck will also look perfect in winter;
- Trousers, a knitted vest (even better to have two vests) plus a few shirts. A stylish fake raglan is also appropriate. Combine as much as you like!
Let's take a closer look at the main positions of classic outfits for the stronger sex.
Costume
How can you create an ideal classic wardrobe without a suit? It will give you confidence and emphasize your status. Several memorable rules will help you choose the right option:
- First, your size! It is unacceptable for folds to form on the suit when trying it on. No waves or unnecessary bends in the fabric of the garment! The sleeve of the shirt should slightly peek out from under the jacket. The bottom of the latter should reach the middle of the wrist of the lowered arm. The length of the trousers is up to the heel of the shoes;
- Secondly, your colour! Nowadays, men's clothes are presented in a wide range. It is important to find your shade, which will add solidity, make a full man look thinner, and a thin man look heavier. Know: a large check makes you look fatter, a vertical stripe makes you look slimmer. The latest fashion trend is blue. The exception is dark, almost black, this is already the history of classics;
- Thirdly, your style! It is unacceptable for a short man to wear a suit with a long top, and for a tall man to wear a suit with an extremely short top. If in doubt, opt for simplicity. The simpler the style, the better. Use all kinds of decorative seams, additional pockets, extra buttons with caution.
Shirts
Many young men believe: "The most elegant and stylish classic new thing for the stronger sex, which women are not indifferent to, is a shirt." It is difficult to argue! A correctly chosen men's shirt can emphasize the sexuality of its owner, making him irresistible in the eyes of the female sex. How to find one - there is no universal advice, there are many tips:
- “Your size, color, style” - the rules are also relevant for this wardrobe item;
- The size is chosen correctly if the sleeve is not stretched or dangling, the collar frames the neck freely. The key word is frames;
- It's good when things match the color of your eyes. A shirt in the color of the print on your frock coat looks perfect;
- The currently fashionable checkered shirt is not very compatible with a suit. It is better to wear a plain vest;
- It is preferable to choose all buttons in the same shade, otherwise the suit will not look so elegant;
- If your figure allows, give preference to a fitted shirt;
- A bright, stylish print is in fashion today, but it can hardly be called a classic.
Trousers
Some modern young people increasingly prefer jeans on a daily basis. However, the classic option for men is still trousers. They can also be comfortable, sexy, versatile - this is the motto of new fashion trends in everything! Today, white, gray, beige options are popular. Such trousers made of light natural fabrics are very comfortable in the summer. The style is acceptable both more spacious and "under jeans". The latter look surprisingly elegant with a shirt and a light knitted vest. Another option is a light raglan, suitable in style. As for the choice of trousers themselves - everything is much simpler here, unlike other wardrobe items. The key point is size. Let's remember: heel-length, no folds, plus - a flattering figure, comfortable fit. Try them on, sit down, cross your legs, walk - no discomfort, then they're yours! The only request: short guys, be careful with checkered patterns, a solid bottom is much better.
Blazer
The jacket periodically comes back into fashion. Quite recently, many men preferred sweaters. It was normal for a post-Soviet man to put on a sweater over a shirt. Now it’s just ridiculous. The jacket has confidently regained its position among the trendy items in the wardrobe of a modern young man. Just look at the raspberry-colored outfit of the “new Russian”! Today, the jacket’s appearance is much more restrained. It is assumed that it should not differ much from the shade of the trousers. But the styles have become so diverse that sometimes it is extremely difficult to decide. Rough, uncomfortable fabrics and a restrictive, uniform cut are a thing of the past. They have been replaced by light fabrics that are appropriate even for sewing outerwear. Let us repeat: classic and comfortable clothing are now identical concepts. This is good! The main thing, when choosing a fashionable jacket, think carefully about what you are going to wear it with. It is important to remember all the details: trousers, belt, shoes, socks, turtleneck, tie, even a wallet. It’s good when a common style is traced in everything. Plus one more important note - the number of buttons fastened is very important for this garment. Often, each man finds his one favorite option, his own image in which he feels confident, and then follows it. But it is important to know the following:
- One button - must be fastened;
- More than one button - the bottom one cannot be fastened;
- You buttoned your jacket and then folds formed on your stomach in the shape of a cross – take it off immediately.
Accessories
Think about it - which style of classic men's clothing looks more impressive? It's hard to decide, isn't it? Although the answer is simple: any that includes accessories. Accessories add taste, without them the image is dull and unfinished. Certainly, some representatives of the stronger sex ignore such important details in vain. However, their beloved women, as a rule, do not let them relax. So know, men: a new tie is not just another gift, it is another plus for your stylish image! If there is no wise "keeper" of your style next to you, then try to make sure that the tie is lighter than the suit, but darker than the shirt. So that the belt always matches the shoes, and the wallet never clashes with the color scheme of your image.
Choose a spectacular umbrella that matches your autumn clothes. In winter, pay attention to the existence of stylish scarves. Believe me, they will definitely refresh your image! Also a universal accessory is a watch.
Color Combination Rules
Based on the traditional style in men's classic clothing, we can extract several rules for combining colors. They follow well-known dogmas. The colors used should be in the same segment of the color wheel. The base color should occupy 65% of the entire image.
What does this mean? We have chosen the main range, then we select the matching shades. A circle consisting of color spectra will help. The main thing is to avoid variegated colors. Two shades in one image is the maximum. Regarding shades, moderation is important. Traditionally, the starting point is to choose a suit and a suitable undershirt (shirt, turtleneck). Therefore, we suggest considering the most frequently used options in more detail.
