Whilst many people when they reach the thirty-mark mourn the loss of their twenties, many embrace the new decade with gusto. Unlike in your twenties, you probably have a better idea of who you are, what you want and where you want to go in life, which makes dressing a whole lot easier.
And your style should reflect this new era of self-assuredness. If you have more cash to splash, you can also invest in quality pieces that will look great and last you a long time. So, whether you prefer to dress with comfort in mind or with sleek sophistication baked in, here are some style tips to see you through your thirties.
Items every man should own
There’s no underestimating the power of a capsule wardrobe; this forms the basis of your outfits and keeps your looks varied. The first pieces to really get right is a few pairs of trousers, be they sturdy pairs of blue and black jeans, corduroys, khakis or coloured chinos. A variety of styles ensures you’ll never look the same twice.
Next, look into buying some smart and casual shirts. Casual ones can be as loose as you like so you can layer them with T-shirts or wear them comfortably in the summer months. As for the smarter collection, make sure they fit just right and are in a colour and pattern that will suit the rest of your wardrobe.
Finally, finish off your look with a quality pair of shoes. Instead of gym trainers, buy a pair of lifestyle sneakers that are only used for leisure time and get in a pair of brogues or loafers for classier occasions. In your thirties, there is no shortage or weddings!
Accessorise
Nothing hints quiet luxury quite like accessories and they effortlessly complete a look in the process. If you’re hankering after a pop of colour, don’t be afraid to add on a playful pair of cufflinks or express your personality through a funky tie.
If it’s sophistication you’re after, something like a TAG Heuer watch is your ultimate partner in crime, adding on a bit of sparkle and a whole lot of luxury to your look. Luxury watches are a great investment too as they can gain value and serve as a wonderful heirloom for future generations.
Buy your favourite pieces twice
By now, you know what looks good on you and the pieces that you wear most often, so don’t be afraid to buy the same thing twice or even three times. Pieces like white t-shirts and shirts, the same cut jumper in different colours or even a rotating wheel of great-fitting jeans will serve you well when you don’t have the time to think about your outfit too much.
