The Basics

When reinventing your style, you need to get back to basics and find staple items that can be worked around. Many men make the mistake of purchasing a few items they like, which don’t necessarily work well together. Start by building a core wardrobe, either with items you already own or by starting again. Be sure to get selling those unused clothing items or donate to a local charity store. If you are struggling with picking the basics, start with a shirt, coat, some plain t-shirts and a few pairs of jeans or pants.

Be sure these items are a reflection of your personality and work well with your body shape and skin tone. Once you have these basic items nailed, you will look and feel good in everything you wear. Having basic items also gives you something to work around when looking at new clothing inspiration. When purchasing more clothing, think about what staple items will work well with the item so you can imagine how many outfit choices you can get from your new purchase.

Break Free from Bland Clothing

Many men in midlife tend to dress in bland colors such as black and white, which doesn’t do much for their style. Whilst having a few block color pieces can work well, reinventing your style is about breaking free of the mold and finding a trend that works for you. Colorful clothing full of patterns is on-trend and with so many different choices out there, you are bound to find some colorful outfit inspiration. Dressing in colors that agree with your hair and skin color will only accentuate your look and leave you feeling a million bucks. Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd. Color can take years off your appearance and instantly makes any outfit trendier.

Details

It isn’t only about the colors you wear but also the little details in your outfit that can make your look go from middle-age to stylish. There are small choices you can make which will add a lot of panache to your outfits. Look for clothing items that offer bold, sharp lines such as suit jackets. This may be all that is needed to bring a sense of style to your usual outfits. Instead of going for another pair of skinny jeans, why not choose a pair of tailored trousers? Tailored pants are bang on-trend in male fashion and a pair of pinstripe trousers looks much more fashionable than a pair of standard black jeans. If you enjoy the clothing you wear but want to reinvent your style in some way, making simple changes in the details can make a big difference.
