9 Basic Style Tips for Guys (still works in 2021)

About this video

McGoff presents nine foundational style principles for men looking to improve their appearance without major expenses. He argues that most men can dress better by refining their existing wardrobes through proper fit, simplified color and pattern choices, tailoring, strategic shoe upgrades, thoughtful accessory use, and layering techniques.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends sizing down and prioritizing proper fit over label size, as clothes that follow the body’s natural curves are most flattering
• McGoff advises limiting color and pattern complexity by building a neutral-based wardrobe and using one color or pattern per outfit as a starting point
• McGoff argues that finding a trusted tailor is essential for stylish men, as tailoring existing clothes is more practical than buying new items
• McGoff suggests upgrading shoes for the occasion and adding 2-3 tasteful accessories rather than going overboard with accessory choices
• McGoff emphasizes learning and respecting dress codes for different occasions and using layering to add visual interest and texture to outfits
