GROOMING AND FASHION TIPS For A Dapper Look As A Man

BY DANIELLE ANENE

Let's face it, profiling exists; people judge others based on their appearance, clothing, and overall charisma. A survey has revealed why men dress well and maintain a good grooming habit, and many of the men say that while they love to look good, they also enjoy hearing compliments from ladies on how they look. Women have been known to be drawn to men who have clean looks and smell.

In this edition, we'll share some tips on how to achieve that dapper look that gives you that classic man vibes.

Spending money on skincare as a man is not a splurge if you think of it as an investment in your health and self-confidence; think of it as the exercise your face requires, just like you eat healthily, stay hydrated, exercise regularly, and get plenty of sleep. Men's skin is 20% thicker, greasier, and less fragile than women's. Men's skin may be more prone to acne in their younger years due to increased sebum production. Shaving can cause irritation, and sun exposure increases the risk of premature ageing. This is where having a proper skin routine comes in handy. Using the basic care steps of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising, feel free to consult with a dermatologist for a routine that works for you.

There is no need to give in to the desire to play it safe and opt for traditional colours such as black, nude, and brown; being daring and experimenting with colours such as blue, magenta, burgundy, and the like gives you an edge and unlocks your fashion flair. Learning to pair contrasting colours and style them appropriately gives the appearance of sophistication.

There is nothing more sexy than the right haircut that suits a man's face; there is no need to follow the latest type of haircut trend; what you should be looking for is if the haircut looks good for your face shape; just like clothes, a hairstyle is not one size fits all. Every face shape has a few styles that will accentuate your features and make you appear more attractive. If your face shape is oblong or oval, for example, you should try an afro tapper fade (if you like your hair fuller) or a Caesar fade.

Having a good or bad smell leaves a lasting impression on everyone you meet; it's the part that people remember. Smell has been linked to one's emotions and forms part of one's memories. Aside from the reaction of others to your scent, having a signature scent improves your mood, confidence, and makes you more attractive than you would be otherwise.

Is there any truth to the idea that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their shoes? We cannot confirm this, but we can tell you that a man's shoes can reveal his social standing, and they are the finishing touch to your outfit.
