  t is actually not surprising that most men have no idea how to dress – it is a classic case of the blind leading the blind. Most guys will copy what their friends are wearing, happy to fit in and not attract any unnecessary attention. Here, Baaqoo presents some tips to help you dress sharp for all your outings and enhance style for men. It is all about the fit You have heard it all before. If you are overweight, work on slimming down. If you are underweight or skinny, work on gaining some mass and build muscle. A good idea to aim for is the classic v-shape: at least a 10-inch “drop” between your chest and waist measurements (for example, a 42-inch chest and 32-inch waist size). This is not easy, but it can be done if you keep up a good exercise routine and make sure you are eating healthy. This is an optimum style for men.

  Sweaters and cardigans are more than something to throw on to stay warm in the cold. A well-tailored, form-fitting sweater can be as eye-catching as a charming smile. Looking good in a sweater or cardigan is all about  coordinating  it with the rest of your outfit. Choose the sweater’s fabric, pattern, and style depending on what you need. Pair your cardigans with a simple pair of jeans, a plain shirt, or even a tie and jacket for a stylish outfit you can wear with pride. Add On A Jacket Pair your favourite sweater or cardigan with a nice sports jacket, blazer, or something entirely unexpected. Jackets don’t work well with thicker sweaters like cable knit, but they serve as an additional layer for many other types. Wear an open jacket to show off your sweater and any layers you have on underneath it.   A jacket keeps you warm while you wear a sweater like a cardigan. It also enables you to style your sweater for specific occasions. Try a leather jacket, a bomber ja...

It creates a more unique and retro look,” says Reece Crisp, menswear buying manager at Farfetch to Dmarge. “Keep it simple and don’t try to be someone else. Essentially, execute the look using key items that you are into.” Dress Trousers Most men have a dress shirt and a pair of dress trousers in their men’s fashion closet. This is the base for retro menswear too. The difference is in the cut of the clothes and the accessories. The 1920s to early 1...

  More than just for walking trails and conquering glacial mountain tops, the boot has come a long way from the isolate realms of the great outdoors. Learning the heel-to-toe benefits of wearing the designer boot is essential: its cross-purpose benefits and how it sits functionally in both your off-duty and formal wardrobe. Just a men’s dress boot, you ask? Let’s take a critical look at the humble piece of footwear and the many roles it can play.

  It’s no secret that “fashion trends” perhaps isn’t the menswear community’s favourite phrase. In a world where investing money in timeless, quality pieces will always trump keeping pace with fashion, jumping onto every passing bandwagon tends to be looked upon with a certain degree of disrespect. But not all fashion trends are created equal. The key to retaining your sartorial self-respect lies in the ability to successfully differentiate between the fleeting fads and the future classics. In order to give you a nudge in the right direction, we’ve created a carefully selected edit of the casualwear movements worth incorporating into your wardrobe this year, and why you should give them a try. Vertical Stripes The reasons for embracing the vertical stripe trend are twofold: firstly, it looks great and presents a simple, refined way to experiment with prints; secondly, it has the nice added bonus of shaving a few pounds off your appearance, making you appear taller and slimmer.

  Since we’re all spending more time indoors, that means what you’re wearing around the house takes on more importance. The goal is to have loungewear that’s comfortable and stylish enough to wear in front of your friends or a date. Or so cosy and warm for the chill weather. Baaqoo suggests some winter loungewear for you. Robes are the best winter loungewear If for some reason, you’ve been intentionally avoiding the comfiest garment known to man, introduce yourself to the best possible thing you can do for your cold, trembling body.

  Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t have to obsess about colour. As long as you follow the obvious advice – dress for the occasion, stick to shades that suit your skin tone. That said, a tweak to your usual colour wheel is the easiest way to light up dull outfits, particularly in winter – a time when the temptation is to stay in the warm cocoon of navy, black and grey. Know Your Skin Colour Finding the right colour for your skin colour basically boils down to understanding your complexion. If you are fair stick to darker ones and avoid anything too pale. Olive complexion? Chuck out anything yellow or green that is too close to your skin, but otherwise, go wild. Dark? Well, the world’s your oyster. Coordinate With Care As a general rule, brighter colours tend to pop more when placed next to black or white, which means that you might want to think twice before throwing on your everyday black jeans. Instead, try a pair of navy or grey trousers or dark...
