When embarking on your journey to upgrade your personal style don‘t become a victim to fast fashion and trends. In times of social media it‘s even easier to have sheer endless options of inspiration and ideas than it was 10 or 20 years ago, when you had to browse through magazines or stores to get a grasp on what to wear.

But on the other hand, standing out with a classic, stylish wardrobe as a man in today‘s times is much easier as well, as it has been for past generations.

Don‘t worry about wearing your favorite pieces often. Most people won‘t really recognize, if you wore the same jacket or suit 3-5 times a week. Everybody is pretty much focused completely on themselves. If you look well put together, clean and your clothes fit your silhouette nicely, it‘s enough for a great first impression.

When buying items, go for quality and fit over trend or amount. Don‘t look what you need to buy next, but dig what doesn’t quite cut it from a fit perspective , has too much wear or simply doesn’t make you feel confident. Set yourself a rule when to buy additional pieces (seasonal sales, birthdays or equivalent) and keep a number of total items you want to own in the back of your head.

It will be liberating, to have less choices and if the ones you can make all make you feel your absolute best, that‘s a second upside to it.

Dress to impress, you need less for it than you might think.
