I still remember, it was August of 2013, I downloaded my first ever YouTube video which was related to Men’s Fashion. The reason behind this was easy, I was a sloppy dresser and I wanted to look good in front of others because I have seen how differently people react based on their appearances.
Like a lot of people, I never supported the argument that we need to dress a certain way to get attention and respect in this world. I never thought that people would not even listen to me unless I am dressed a certain way, let alone be respected and admired. “Well, It’s their loss!” I would tell myself, unaware of the fact that people don’t care less about what I had to offer. But now that I dress better than before, I have observed astounding changes in people’s behavior toward me, they are warmer, more receptible to my ideas, and much nicer to me.
Nobody likes to pass judgment on someone, but after millions of years of battle for existence, it has been permanently imprinted in our DNA. And in the current world, it makes sense too since we don’t always have the time to fully comprehend someone before deciding who to trust and who not to. Instead, our condition from years of societal conditioning takes over. Our judgment process runs on autopilot and the importance of dressing well in today’s society, especially for males, will be covered in the points below.
A step towards self-improvement
Finding clothing that fits properly and matches your own style is an exciting first step toward changing your lifestyle. Small things like getting a nice haircut can do wonders for you. People may begin treating you differently because of their realization that something has changed about you. You will feel motivated to improve your diet, enhance your exercise routine, or go for the career and lifestyle you are fascinated by.
A positive impression on others
Making a favorable impression on people may also be accomplished by dressing nicely. People are more likely to view you as successful, professional, and put together when you take the effort to put together a more functional wardrobe. Both personally and professionally, this is advantageous. Not only that but dressing well in a professional setting can increase your focus and attention as conducted at the University of Hertfordshire by Dr. Karen Pie, a professor of psychology.
An expression of Self
Likewise, dressing nicely may be a way of expressing oneself. You may express who you are and what matters to you by dressing in a way that reflects your style and interests. Moreover, you are more likely to feel good about your appearance and personal style when you take the effort to put together a fantastic outfit. Your general well-being and happiness might also benefit from this.
Garnering the right attention
You might be familiar with the word “peacocking.” It’s a practice where people dress up to attract attention. Yes, that goes against what you want to do. It is always better to appear polished without striking out too much from the crowd. A polished and businesslike look may play a significant role in getting hired or promoted in several sectors. People should want to go chat with you because of your clothing, which should convey the following: “This man is awesomely unusual, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.” People shouldn’t be told, “Yeah, I see a bunch of you around every corner,” by this statement.
An appreciation for the finer things in life
A good design generally starts with great style. Men like Kanye West, and Pharrell Williams broadened their interests beyond fashion to include fields like furniture and architecture. Unbelievably, the day may come when you stop purchasing as many garments. Although, it doesn’t imply you won’t spend money on a suit or a high-end item of clothing like a pure Leather jacket.
Shopping becomes easier
Finding what you want will be simpler now that you are a savvy shopper and know just where to seek. One benefit of being familiar with brands is that you can identify who has the best products, which saves you time from having to sift through ordinary stores in search of anything half-decent. Let the misinformed people deal with that, not you.
Better self-confidence and self-esteem
When you look good, you feel good, and this can have a positive chain reaction on your overall mental and emotional well-being. Additionally, dressing well can make you more approachable and aid you to make a good first impression on others. This is even more relevant in professional settings, where first impressions can be crucial in forming relationships and gaining the respect of your peers. furthermore, dressing well can also signal to others that you take pride in your appearance and take yourself seriously, which can be attractive to potential partners and employers.
Always remember, what you wear influences what people hear you say. Their threshold of tolerating your ideas/opinions increases, no matter how good and bad they are.
I hope this could help you. You can start your style journey whenever you like. What I would say is that you start small, you start today but you should at least start!
