One of the easiest ways to express your personality is through appearance. Your style of dress, your haircut, your shoes--they all send out messages about the type of person that you are. You already know all of this, but your man probably isn't as keen about the subject matter. He probably has a preference for certain looks, but they don't always make a good impression on others. Hopefully he can trust your good judgment when he needs fashion advice. Here are a few tips for keeping your man's personality and style on the same page.
1. Take Advantage of Colors
All men are unique like the many shades in the color spectrum. Many colors are commonly associated with a certain meaning. For example, black is associated with elegance and class. White is associated with innocence and purity. Red is associated with passion and boldness. No matter how your man perceives himself, there are probably clothing colors that can match the image that he wants to convey.
2. Material Choice Says More Than You Might Think
Colors aren't the only aspect of style that are indicative of the personality of a man. His choice in clothing materials can also say a lot about who he is. For example, a man who prefers to go out with his friends in blue jeans and a cotton tee might be seen as having a laid back or relaxed attitude. A guy who'd rather go out in a silk suit and tie might give off the impression that he's refined, cultured, or rich. If a man likes sporting flashy clothing embroidered with patterns and images or studded with shiny rhinestones or metal beads, he could have an edgy, "bad boy" personality.
3. Grow Some Facial Hair
A man without facial hair is like a blank canvas. You can't assume much about the kind of person he is. Growing out some fuzz and styling it gives a guy much more personality. A soul patch, circle beard, and handlebar mustache all give a man some unique pizzazz.
4. Graphic Tees Make a Statement
A very effective way to show off your sense of humor, political association, religious beliefs, ethnic background, favorite hobby, or personality in general is to wear a graphic tee. Graphic tees are very popular today because they are like personal billboards that advertise the individual wearing it to everyone else. Many are intentionally worn to send out a message about the wearer. If your man wants to make something about him known to the public, he should check out www.reemclothing.com/Mens-Clothing/Imaginary-Foundation-Designer-Clothing.html and other graphic tee retailers for a shirt that screams "me."
At the end of the day, your man has the right to do whatever he wants to give people a peek into his soul. If he's sending out the wrong message, that's when you can jump in. You should offer suggestions to help him out, but don't ever degrade him or coerce him into changing who he is--or thinks he is.
