A Man’s Guide to Looking His Absolute Best

With constant changes in fashion and beauty standards, it can be difficult to know how to look your best at all times. While new trends and fads will constantly arise, there are a few fashion rules that are timeless and span across many cultures.

Among these are maintaining your personal hygiene, looking neat and well-groomed, being true to your sense of style and lastly, carrying yourself with the highest level of confidence. By following these simple fashion rules, you can look great no matter what.

A man with good hygiene is almost always going to be more attractive than one who is negligent on that front. This hygiene standard includes hair, teeth, beard and body. Be sure that you are washing your hair at an appropriate interval and keeping it neatly combed.

If you have longer hair, learn how to care for it as it is much different than caring for a short style. Use dandruff shampoo if you struggle with that and get regular cuts and trims. Brushing your teeth at least twice daily is essential in keeping your smile bright and your breath fresh.

If you keep a beard, be sure that you groom it as needed to keep it from looking unkempt. You can use a razor with a trimming guide to keep your beard as long or as short as you want.

As for your body's overall hygiene, have a routine for washing your face and using moisturizer to combat acne and dry skin. Always wear deodorant to mask any unpleasant body odor; a nice-smelling cologne is also a great asset to your daily hygiene routine.

Do a once-over every morning before you leave your house. Make sure that you are well-groomed with combed hair and trimmed beard, then focus on your clothing choices. Do not wear clothes that are wrinkled or dirty, and be sure that your clothes are fitting well.

Make sure that your outfit matches and is appropriate for the occasion; if you are unsure, ask for advice from other people going to the same event. Choose clothing that accentuates your natural features and that you feel comfortable in.

While there are a few basic rules when it comes to looking your best, it is also imperative that you stay true to your own sense of style. Everyone's definition of style is different, and you should not let anyone choose your personal one for you.

If you have a whimsical side, show it off with fun patterned socks or a unique bowtie. Looking your best does not mean stifling personal style; in fact, that is the opposite of the objective. Do not be afraid to try a new look; after all, that is how one's personal style gets developed.

Perhaps the most attractive thing a man can wear is confidence. If you think you are unattractive, you will likely give off an impression of being so. However, if you carry yourself with pride and personality -- not conceit -- people will naturally be attracted to you and want to spend time with you.

Being a kind, considerate person with a great personality can do wonders for your overall look. If you believe that you are looking great, that aura will radiate off of everything you say and do. Accepting that you look attractive equals being attractive.

You do not have to be the best-looking person by today's arbitrary beauty standards. You do not have to be the most fit, the tallest or the most rugged to look your best.

Being neat and well-groomed and adhering to a personal hygiene standard go farther than you could imagine in making someone attractive. Make it your goal to look your absolute best by being confident about your looks and your personality and being the best version of yourself possible.
