A Men's Guide to Dressing Well and Looking Polished

Being well dressed takes a lot more than just an expensive suit. A man can have the best suit money can buy and still not look polished. In order to present your self as a prosperous member of society you need to bring your look together by paying attention to detail. It's within the details that the full picture really begins to come to fruition.

• If it Doesn't Fit Don't Wear It:You need to make sure you clothing fits properly if you want to look your best. Pants that are too tight or suit coats that are too big will make you look anything but polished no matter how much you spent on them. If you find that your clothes aren't fitting the way they should consider visiting a tailor to have them let out or taken in.
• Get an Iron and Get Rid of Wrinkles: To make sure you look your best make it a point to iron you pants and your shirts. If you find that you don't always have time to put those important creases in your collar consider investing in a few wrinkles free shirts and pants and keeping them nice and neat on hangers until it's time to bring them out of the closet.
• Invest is Some Nice Socks: Nothing ruins a strapping suit like a pair of white cotton running socks. Keep your gym socks for the gym and fill your drawers with at least five pairs of nylon dress socks that will match your suit. What if you don't wear a suit to work?
• Make it a Point to Accessorize: Sure any man can throw a suit on and a pair of dress shoes, but it's the men who take five seconds more to add some accessories to their ensemble that really look polished and ready to meet the business world with open arms.
• Don't Clash with Busy Patterns: If you want to wear a patterned shirt give up your pin striped pants for the day. Likewise, if your going to wear a pair patterned pants (Stripes and plaids only please), choose a solid color shirt.
• Sneakers are Never the Right Choice: Sneakers have come a long way and they have made their way past the gym and into our everyday lives. Unfortunately, no matter how comfortable and how stylish they are they are never appropriate footwear for a polished man.
