Most men are not keen about developing a fashion sense; they give that up to women who are more fashion inclined. However, as a man, fashion should be part of yourself grooming. Dressing makes you look confident, gives you a sharp appearance and it also accords you some form of respect.

Can you command the same attention when you dress well with when you dress shabbily? They are certainly not the same. “The way you dress, is the way you will be addressed”. If this is so, you need to develop a fashion sense. Part of what the opposite sex looks out for is your dressing. Also, your dressing speaks a lot about you. You can easily recognize a mentally deranged or unstable man by just looking at his dressing. His dressing speaks volume about his state of health. This article will focus on five creative ways men can develop a strong fashion sense.

What is fashion sense?

Fashion blogger, Niurka, of Fashion Styles defines fashion sense as “less of following trends and knowing more of what fits the unique “you” and what you’re comfortable in. Being stylish in your true self.”

Also, Buki, of Style with Buki, interprets fashion sense as, “your knowledge of fashion and current trends and your ability to interpret that knowledge into your personal style.”

Similarly, Dinesha, of She Has The Eye, believes that fashion sense is “knowing what works for you, speaks to you and expresses the message you specifically want to send through your outer appearance.”

From the foregoing, you can deduce two things. These are ‘trends’ and ‘personal style’.

Developing fashion sense requires you to understand the fashion trend and how you can develop your own unique style. The dressing vogue of the 70s and 80s are quite different from the trend of the 21st century. Imagine a man dressed in the Victorian fashion style in this century. He will certainly get a questioning look from people. Most people will conclude the man is living in the old century. For you not to dress out of fashion and get weird looks from people, you need to develop a fashion sense.
