Fashion tips for men

Let’s start with the haircut—

• Know that not everyone can pull off every style, but if you style your hair according to the shape of your face— you can actually enhance attention to your facial features like cheekbones or chin.

• For ex. I have a square shape face and undercut or Faux Hawk suits it well. On the other hand, if I was to try side fringes, it would suck.

  • Golden rule: Use gel to get the wet look and wax to enhance the hold.
  • We Indian men have been raised with the habit of oiling our hair till they’re dripping it— don’t.
  • While oil is great for your scalp, the look it’ll give will repel the women around you.
  • Best thing which I do is to oil the hair nicely before hitting the bed before the shampoo day, and wash it off gently in the morning.
  • It retains the health of your hair.
  • Also, avoid using products every day to prevent damage. Little oil or hair cream works just fine.

• Don’t shampoo daily. Do it in a 2–3 day interval depending on how oily your hair gets and the humidity of the place you live in.

• The Beard :The rule is simple— invest in a good trimmer (or blade if you like a clean shave).

• Symmetry is a bitch— so it’s useful if you let your barber do his magic, and trim occasionally to check the shape.
• Beard oil is good, but most beard products are a sham. Normal washes work well

• Well, if you can’t afford thousand dollar Gucci apparel like most men, here are some cool & cost-effective tips for you—

  • Don’t go for slim fit t-shirts if you’re a little out of shape— the long hanging regular fits will do. Men on the plus side of the spectrum should go for the baggy attires.
  • Keep your jeans skinny.
  • Avoid square toed shoes.
  • Also, Deep V-necks? Nooooo!
  • Grab ankle length socks, not the ones which try to reach your knees.
  • I have seen a lot of office-going folks switch to the half-length shirts to brave the Indian summers.
  • Nope. They don’t fly at all.
  • Fold the sleeves of your shirts instead.
  • Don’t fold up your jeans from the bottom unless you’re soaking your feet in the lukewarm water of your grandmother’s tub.
  • Make sure that the length ends just where it meets the shoes.
  • Also, ensure that it doesn’t fall down all the way to the floor.
  • Men working in offices— match the colour of your socks with your pants (not the shoes).
  • When out of options, opt for black colour socks.
  • Also, Socks with slippers or sandals? Uh-uh.
  • Don’t use too much deodorant or cologne.
  • Even Angels won’t fall for that.
  • Pink shirts are a big no.
  • When in doubt— plain white or black tshirts/shirts with blue denims fly.
  • My go-to outfit is grey round-neck Henley’s with black denims.
  • Don’t shampoo daily. Do it in a 2–3 day interval depending on how oily your hair gets and the humidity of the place you live in.
