Smarten Up Your Man - How to Provide Your Man With the Rules and Tools to Choose His Own Style

Do you often find yourself saying to your partner "that tie doesn't go with that shirt, try this one instead" or maybe "why are you wearing those shoes with those trousers?" Or perhaps you are left wondering why he still dresses as a student now that he's 40+!

Many women say to me "I wish my husband could put a shirt & tie together properly!. They tell me that one of their tasks is to ensure their partner's or son's or brother's outfit is appropriate as he's walking out of the door in the morning.

It seems that we wives, sisters, mothers, girlfriends are the stylists (and often, the shoppers) behind our men's wardrobes. Some love this responsibility but more and more of us wish their men could think for themselves on the style front.

So, when they learn that their men can be taught how to style themselves, they jump at the chance of booking him in for an Image Consultation.

At his Image Consultation, your man will learn a number of key rules which will give him the tools to organise his wardrobe to suit his style at home and at work. He will be able to easily put together his outfits for business and social occasions.

Colour Analysis
We women can use make-up to make our complexion flawless; an advantage which men do not have. Therefore, it's crucial that they wear a colour near to their face which compliments their natural skin tone. Wearing the right colour shirt will make a man appear younger, healthier and make his eyes sparkle. Everyone can wear every colour but his colouring (hair, eyes, skin tone) will determine whether he should opt for lighter or darker shades, warm or cool undertones and how strong (clear to muted) his colours should ideally be. During an Image Consultation, your man will be shown how to assemble his wardrobe with coordinated clothing which provides maximum versatility.

Style Personality
It is important for our men to know and understand their Style Personality because it will provide them with the knowledge of why a certain style of dressing suits their personality and their lifestyle. A well dressed man will have an image which expresses his personality while also being appropriate for his workplace and social life. Whether he has a Creative, Dramatic, Romantic, Classic, Natural or International personality, understanding his Style Personality will be the catalyst in bringing his whole wardrobe together.

Build
So, now that he understands which colours are best for him and which image suits his personality, adding the finishing touches are crucial to perfecting your man's image. An Image Consultant will help him analyse his build (body shape, scale and proportions) and offer guidelines for clothes shopping for his build. For example, the fabric he chooses needs to be in balance with his build and the style of suit which will suit him best will depend on his body shape. Whether he should wear his casual shirts tucked in or left loose will be determined by his proportions.

Appropriateness
Being appropriately dressed for every occasion creates the best first impression he can give. An Image Consultation will show your man how to look the part, whatever the occasion while still following all his rules of colours, build and style.

In my experience, our men love to have the rules to hand which enable them to shop easily. They love having the confidence to be able to put together a suit, shirt & tie combination without having to ask us women for advice!
