Expectations Vs. Reality(Men'DressSense)

Expectation #1 – New clothes will look great on you:

Expectation number one is that your new clothing will look wonderful on you. Reality: If you're not careful, new clothes might cause issues. This may seem apparent, but "new" does not always imply "perfect for you. "You may purchase yourself the most amazing jacket or pants, just to discover that there is a flaw later on. It might be how it fits or feels, or how it seems as you go down the street. You never wear it, thus your money is squandered. So, what's the answer here? Before making any new purchase, always consider the style pyramid - fit, function, and fabric. You should never buy something that: doesn't work for you (at work or in casual contexts).

isn't composed of high-quality materials (lack of funds? Begin saving early so that you may develop a budget for nicer apparel).Remember, most regular men can't pull off the looks that Ryan Reynolds or Christian Bale sport on the red carpet. Consider your look first, then the attractiveness of the apparel.

Expectation #2: Everyone will notice your improved appearance:

The truth is that most people don't care.

 adore fashion. I enjoy educating other men on how to use clothes to improve their life. But I'm also aware that your new style will only have an impact on a limited, select set of people: your employer, coworkers, classmates, and loved ones. I’m sorry to tell you this, but nearly no one else cares. What's the point? They have busy lives and problems that they will not put on hold simply because you cross paths with them. Don’t be surprised or disappointed if that gorgeous barista you've been admiring doesn't compliment you on your new suit. She could be too distracted with her forthcoming finals or her ex's unpaid child support to notice. Understand who you are and who you are not dressing for.

Expectation #3: Higher prices imply higher quality:

The truth is that many things are just overpriced. Unfortunately, many high-end apparel manufacturers are currently resting on their laurels. They can get away with such high prices owing to a lot of publicity and effective marketing. This is why I am so picky about the companies I endorse on RMRS. Before allowing any firm to be a sponsor, I first test the product. My advice is to never pay a price that makes you uncomfortable unless you believe people who suggest the brand.

Expectation #4: You'll look great in that new fashion trend:

Reality: You'll probably feel awkward and self-conscious.

Do you remember dressing up like Superman for Halloween when you were younger? Did the cape and big "S" over your chest make you feel like a superhero? Maybe, but only until you've been used to the tightness and itchiness of the costume. Similarly, don't expect to put on that broad-rimmed fedora or that colorful outfit and instantly feel better. It won't, at least not immediately. People may look or raise their brows. Some may even laugh. You will notice. That will quickly erode your self-esteem. The key to any new appearance is to practice wearing it in private.

Expectation #5: Your hair is styled by a professional, and you're ready to leave:

The truth is that you cannot style it on your own. Unlike clothing, your hair needs significantly more than washing to maintain its appearance Your high-end stylist may offer you the ideal cut and style. You may like it and tip them well. However, they are not compensated for how your hair appears a week later, after you've washed and combed it a few times.

 Expectation #6: You will develop a thick, full beard rapidly:

After a month, your beard is still spotty. Men should not complain about the time it takes to develop a well-defined beard if women can wait 9 months to deliver a kid.

 While every male may grow a beard, the length and thickness are mostly determined by genetics. Some people may be satisfied with theirs after a few weeks. Others will still have exposed flesh. Most guys, though, may grow a full beard in 6-12 months. Be patient, and maintain your beard neat and well-groomed!

Expectation #7: You will receive several compliments from ladies.

Men will almost certainly complement you more. This is where you must comprehend the significance of style. When you properly present yourself, you will stick out more when you come into a room. Men will be astounded and impressed. They'll approach you and immediately say, "Nice tie!" "Where'd you get that watch?" "I like your shoes! It doesn't necessarily imply that they're hitting on you (though some may be). They can tell, though, that you've surpassed everyone else. That's no minor feat, and those guys are proud of you! Make the most of this social boost. Women are considerably more captivated by fashionable males who are idolized by other guys.

Finally, if you're going through a style transition, remember to keep a level mind. Don't overestimate the power of your new wardrobe. People are exposed to so many well-dressed people in this age of Integra and social media that they become indifferent or even more judgmental than they would have been a few years ago. Dress better to impress your job, acquire respect from your peers, and keep the spark with your S.O. alive. That is the size of your target audience. Keep it that way, or you'll be compelled to attempt to please everyone. And it is a fool's errand, my buddy.
