If only there were some tips given to you that would allow you to upgrade your style fast and easy. Well, here are 8 FREE and Easy ways to upgrade your style! Take notes boys, this one’s important.
1. Choose A Print or Pattern
If you want to spice up your style up a little bit and switch your style up from boring to suave, add either a print or a pattern to your outfit. Whether it be a simple polo with a monotone pattern, or a tee shirt with a printed look to it, a little contrast from a plain color goes a long way. Odds are you have a few of these pieces in your closet, so utilize them, it will work in your favor.
2. Never Be A Try Hard
It really doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a super expensive suit or the latest street brands that cost thousands of dollars. What really matters is confidence. You could be rocking a whole outfit from the sale rack at H&M and if you come across as confident, that girl you’ve always wanted will be yours. When you wear something super flashy but lack confidence, the clothes are practically wearing you. So, work on your confidence and almost anything will look better than how cheap it was in the store. Confidence is the key.
3.Learn Basic Customization
Many guys don’t even know how to sew a button. First off, that’s just sad, and secondly, you aren’t using your customizable skills to their fullest potential. Your boring clothes have a lot of potential to them, and if you have an eye for fashion, you can make free and easy modifications to them that will make look so much more stylish. For example, if you have a dress shirt with a collar on it and it’s all flimsy and the collar is yellow from heavy wear, don’t throw it away. Instead, clip the collar off and bam, there’s a fast and easy collarless shirt. Another example is if you have a pair of old jeans you don’t like, you can cut them and turn them into jean shorts, or just distress them. These are all trendy ideas to keep in mind. Be your own stylist!
4. Make A List Of What You Need!
