\"Simple<\/p>\n

Most men aren\u2019t huge fans of making a fashion statement. Not to tar every guy with the same brush, but if you\u2019re about to attend a wedding \u2013 chances are you\u2019re not too thrilled with the idea of dressing up.<\/p>\n

You may have that good old fashioned anything and everything occasion suit that gets plucked out for job interviews, but if your last job application was more than 5 years ago, it may be time to reconsider. Here are some simple fashion rules for a man attending a wedding.<\/p>\n

Simple Fashion Rules For a Man Attending a Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Perfect Fit<\/h2>\n

Try that suit from your closet on. Does it buckle when you button up the jacket? Move around \u2013 does it feel tight? Do the sleeves reach your wrists? If it\u2019s not right, give it away or throw it out. You probably have gotten all the use out of it that you can.<\/p>\n

Accessories<\/h2>\n

So if you do decide to throw out that old suit, think about your accessories too. A good tie, nice shoes, cufflinks if you need them or even a pocket square can make a difference. Using scruffy and outdated accessories will have the direct opposite effect. In our opinion, nothing lets any good outfit down more than throwing together things that \u201ckind of\u201d go with your look. Go whole hog or nothing at all we say!<\/p>\n

Trendy<\/h2>\n

Back in the early 2000s, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was bang on trend. Giant collars, \u2018distressed\u2019 jeans and clean-shaven was the way to go. While some of their classic motifs still work, if you\u2019re still taking fashion advice from the Fab Five, it\u2019s time to move on. Try styles that have a timeless quality to them (think Mad Men \u2013 very sexy!) when shopping for your look. As well, consider your own shape when shopping. Slim fit styles are trendy right now but aren\u2019t right for everyone. A good shop assistant will be able to give you advice.<\/p>\n

Rent<\/h2>\n

If you can\u2019t afford a new suit right now, there are plenty options to rent. Renting may not give you the same effect as having a suit tailored to you, but it is a good cost-effective alternative. Do not settle for borrowing pieces from your dad and brother\u2019s suits. This blogger knew someone who did that for their prom night and the person ended up looking like a kid in grown-ups clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most men aren\u2019t huge fans of making a fashion statement.
