Men’s Dressing

Loads of people ask me – what about men’s grooming? Do they not need it the most? Shouldn’t they look sophisticated? Of course, they need to look their best. Neatly shaved (even if you wish to have rugged look for certain occasions make sure your stubbles are perfectly chopped and looks neat), clean skin, good attire, and shoes will turn on girls immediately. Assume, you are invited for an event, which specifies it is a black and white ball, what would you wear – formals or semi-formals? Well, for a ball one generally expects you to wear formals, unless specified. So when you talk about a black and white ball, you are referring to a type of ball – hence, formal. A man in this case could wear a black tie.

Another invitation, where your host has only mentioned “Black Tie” as dress code, then probably you should wear a tuxedo as well. Again it depends on the specification that the invitation states. Say for example, some of the invitations may say “Black Tie Optional”, “Black Tie Preferred”, or “Black Tie Invited”.

What if you do not have a tuxedo? It is preferable to buy one or rent one. If you do not have a tie you may visit online stores that sell wide range of clothing accessories such as ties, scarves, pocket squares, etc. One such site that I came across was www.belisi.com.

Tip of the day: If you are not sure about the dressing, it is always sensible to ask your host. If you cannot ask him directly, then you could ask someone, who has been to such parties before.

Styling your hair..

You have cleared your skin, and you have dressed well for the party; now, comes the hair do. Hairstyling is an intricate part of grooming. Getting your hair cut according to your personality and face structure is important. Therefore, it is necessary that you spend a little more dough and visit a good hairstylist. After getting a good haircut that suits your face, it is simpler to style them. You may even leave them loose for the party with appropriate serum or gel. However, some hairstyles will definitely make you look glamorous. You should select your hair-do as per the event and the dress you are wearing. Now that you have taken trouble to style your hair, you would not want it to become messy when you reach the venue. So then how do you protect your hair? Simple, all you have to do is tie a scarf around your hair in a manner, which will not make your hairstyle messy. Well, then if you want, you can always remove the scarf when you reach the venue.

Tip of the Day: Do not use a woolen scarf to protect your hairstyle; it may just make it messier. A silk or cotton scarf is advisable and looks great even if you choose not to remove it.

Dressing-up well

Now that you have a healthy clear face, what should be the next on our agenda? May be on how to dress well… Dressing indeed reflects your personality. If you do not dress up as per the occasion, you may not enjoy the occasion well. People may notice you, but may be in a negative way. If you do not iron your dress (some dresses need not be ironed and some need to be ironed by laundry-man) it will leave a lethargic impression about you. It is important to dress as per the occasion or you may simply feel out of place. This will not only make you feel awkward but also deplete your self-confidence. When you step out of the door remember you are being watched all the time. Perfect dressing will only add to your personality.

Now read the invite carefully. Is it to a party, wedding, or  formal meeting? Is there a dress code? If the invite mentions “black tie”, then it is a clear indication for all men out there. Sometimes the invite would hint at “cocktails”, or “balls”. In this situation you have to wear the dress to suit the event. You could do some reading on the net…for additional tips.

You could look for appropriate dresses for your party or wedding online, you may visit online shopping sites. You may not like to purchase your dresses online; however, these sites will give you sufficient information about various designers, garment manufacturers, and retailers. Then you could visit the appropriate place in your city to purchase that outfit.

Tip of the day: You may not choose shoes that have the exact color as your outfit, unless it is black. It is advisable not to wear the same colored shoes as your bottom.

Skin Care…

Skin covers most of our body, with the face being the most visible part. A blushing skin is absolutely necessary if you want to look beautiful. When your face can be as beautiful as the moon why compromise? Acnes and pores are the most common problems, especially for all you teens.

Beauty experts often advice us to wash the face with cold water more than twice a day. However, do not over do it as this may lead to dry and rough skin. You should wash your face only twice – morning and night. Of course, it is alright to wash your face after you have perspired a lot as perspiration can aggravate acnes further. Rule of thumb is to keep your face clean. Use a mild face wash that suits your face well and has less or no abrasives. See to it that your face wash does not contain alcohol. While washing your face, use the face wash gently on acne prone areas. The way you apply your face wash also makes a difference. Apply your face wash gently with your fingertips. Do not scrub your skin. While you rinse your face, use lukewarm water – not too hot, nor too cold. Acnes also spread if you have oily hair. So if you have them wash them daily with good shampoo and conditioner.

Tip of the day: Drinking water in sufficient quantity only improves your metabolism, which clearly reflects on your skin.
