Choosing what to wear to work and trying to look your best can feel like a mundane daily task. But no worries, we’ve got you covered!

The ideal work attire consists of a plain dress shirt with a decent pair of pants—sounds boring? Well that doesn’t mean we can’t be creative with it.

Play around with colors and combinations; throw in a tie to make it classy—you’ll be surprised how even with a limited wardrobe, you can create a number of looks.

Who says only women can be creative with their style? As a matter of fact, it was men who started the trend of heels!

Here are a number of ways men can get back in the game:

Pinstripes and dots

Men often have a fear of moving away from the plain dress shirts with basic colors, and yes it is true with the variety of designs and styles available to men nowadays, dress shirt shopping can be overwhelming.

Here’s an idea instead of looking towards the bright and over-the-top designs of some shirts, try out the simpler patterns, like dots and stripes.

A little can go a long way. Along with being a decent addition to your wardrobe, it will bring about a subtle change in your overall look.

Ease into the colors

Are you intimidated by new colors? A good option would be to ease into the new you.

Sticking to a restricted color scheme will not only make your wardrobe look dull, but will reflect on your personality. You probably see a lot of blue around you; it is considered a safe option by most. How about changing it up a bit and going for lavender? A similar color, but one that will make you stand-out in the crowd; or if you are feeling exceptionally creative, go for a light shade of pink. This suits all complexions and is sure to make you look good!

The fitting is essential

It is a common mistake made by men; wearing shirts that do not fit them properly.

Readymade dress shirts are made to fit many, and as a result, they are never a perfect fit.

Here are some things to consider when choosing a size that fits best:

Larger men should opt for a loose fit, while thin men look better in a more slim fit.

The size of the collar is vital. It should allow space for two fingers when buttoned, this is especially important when wearing a tie with the shirt.

Sleeves are critical to the overall look—if too short, you will be unable to move your arms with ease; if too long, when buttoned, the sleeves will look saggy.

Same with the shoulder length; if the shirt’s shoulder points are further apart than they should be, it will give off an untidy impression.
