There are many tricks to combine men's clothing. Putting them into practice will help you choose your clothes better and faster in the morning.
Combining clothes is something that should not be taken lightly. However, it is also not advisable to approach it in a too serious and inflexible way. The following tips show that dressing well can be easy, although you have to start planning correctly from the moment of purchase:
Assess the context
When there is no dress code (which is most of the time), the dress is entirely up to you. But how do you handle such an overwhelming number of possibilities? Going step by step. And the first is evaluate the context to limit the number of options.
Having said that, the same garment can be used for two very different occasions depending on how you combine it. For example, a navy blue suit with tie and dress shoes is a great idea for an important gathering. But if we eliminate the tie and replace the shoes with sneakers we will obtain an equally stylish look for a wide variety of more informal occasions.
Find out your body type
Combining the garments and colors well is of little use if the cut of the pieces is not suitable for your body type. It is find out which group you belong to and put into practice a series of simple rules. For example, avoid skinny pants if you have very thin legs.
When in doubt, stick to the basics
Mr P.
Looks made up of basic pieces in their entirety always work. It is a good idea especially for those men who prefer the simplicity of the timeless to the maelstrom that trends are often.
The following are some of the basics that cannot be missing from your wardrobe:
- Light blue shirt
- White shirt
- Dark blazer
- Navy blue suit
- Gray sweatshirt
- Basic t-shirt
- Gray dress pants
- Brown chinos
- Dark blue jeans
- Dress Shoes
- White sneakers
Lastly, make sure the basics are quality and, above all and returning to the topic of the cut, that they offer the best possible fit.
Using neutral colors saves you work
Do you find it boring to combine colors? If so, consider creating a clothing collection based primarily on neutral colors. Since they work well with everything (both with each other and with non-neutral colors), they can save you a lot of work when forming your looks.
The following are the colors that should abound in a closet based on neutral colors.
- Navy blue
- Brown
- Black
- Khaki
- Grey
- Blanco
- Beige
Replace your usual clothes
Do you feel that your looks have started to be too predictable? Try replacing some of your usual clothes with something new. The secret is to get out of your comfort zone without giving up your style. There are many changes that are worth considering, most bringing a fresh and relaxed touch. Some examples are:
- Typical smart polo dress shirt
- Lightweight cardigan blazer
- Jeans for plain joggers
Avoid cloth bags on footwear
Some pants can form unsightly cloth bags over footwear. That's the sign that the two pieces don't go well together. The effect of the footwear is ruined and the overall look loses definition and elegance.. To fix it, you need to fix the pants. In the case of casual pants, most of the time it is as simple as rolling it up in a not too aggressive way.
Add an extra layer
Most men just wear two layers on top. It is correct, but it must not be forgotten that this is not the only way. Consider adding a third layer for a richer, more worked look.. This trick is used both to combine formal clothes and to create more relaxed looks, as is the case of the workwear style, in which shirts, over-shirts and work jackets or jackets are needed.
Give it a personal touch
Add pieces with character if you feel that the combination falls short of strength or you simply enjoy giving your looks a personal touch. There are many options: leather jacket, printed or contrasting socks ... There is only one rule: no more than one piece at a time so that the look does not lose its meaning.
Cushions eye-catching pieces

Not wearing more than one flashy piece at a time will help make your looks less confusing and make more sense.. Hawaiian shirts are one example, especially the most colorful ones. How to do it? It is as simple as combining them with plain pieces in neutral colors that cushion them and keep the number of attention points under control. When it comes to tricks to combine men's clothing, this is the most useful to take advantage of your printed and brightly colored garments.
