Dress for Success: How to Dress Like a Gentleman?

(A 2-minute read)

In this age of abundance many men still find it intimidating to dress up, let alone to dress like a gentleman. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Here are the five simple ways that can easily transform you into a gentleman with class:

First is your shoes. You might be surprised that they are the first thing people notice when you walk into the room. The Oxford is the most time-tested shoe for the gentleman look, and there are many design variants to suit different tastes. Choose black and regularly polish them to a mirror shine.

A small step with big effect is to use Cufflinks. The beauty is that they can be both formal and casual, depending on their design and your situation. For example if you don’t need to wear a suit at work, a pair of cufflinks with a playful design on a crisp white shirt will elevate your look without unwanted attention.

Like the Cufflink, Pocket Squares are another great way to express your gentleman style both formal and casual. You can wear them on weekdays with your suit, with or without a tie, and on weekends with a sports jacket. There are different ways to wear a pocket square to express your personality. So feel free to explore.

We think men look the best in a full suit with a Tie as it boasts the ultimate gentleman’s look that is confident, macho and cultured. If anyone finds wearing a tie uncomfortable, that’s because his shirt is too small, so fix the shirt and things will be fine. Ties offer unlimited style possibilities especially when combined with a suit. The best ties come from Italy made of worm silk, so build yourself a collection for different moods and occasions.

To complete the look, why not invest in a quality Swiss watch? Nothing oozes more of that classic gentleman style than a square watch with an alligator strap. You can also wear bracelets to complement it. They are extremely versatile and work well in all situations from Black Tie Events to a casual trip to your local coffee shop in T-shirt.

After all, being a gentleman doesn’t mean wearing a suit 24/7.
