When woman shop for clothes, their tastes are often going to be as fickle as the market changes rapidly every year. However, the great thing with men’s fashion doesn’t vary as often. The general components of men’s closets consist of the business shirts, the pants and the jacket. So with fewer items to work with how can a man mix up his outfit from time to time if he is stuck with the same clothes?
How to break up the monotony of wearing the same style of clothes

Look at the details

Take a step back and look at your closet. What is the overwhelming colour in that closet? More than likely, you’re going to go, “Wow! I have a lot of white.” With so many different colours of business shirts on offer, you don’t have to have just white business shirts lining your closet.

Consider having shirts of different colours, pattern and cut. Switching from a standard cuff to a French Cuff for example can make a big difference on your looks. Little changes can make a huge difference in your outfit and keep you looking trendy all year long.
You can also stop looking the same way all the time by mixing the colours and patterns of your ties, business shirts and suits.
Standard shirts

When you want a change, consider going for a bold looking tie to go against your white business shirt. You can also go for an ordinary coloured shirt with a discreet coloured tie that will contrast with the shirt. Try a tie with patterns or shapes with a plain shirt.

Patterned shirts

Add some mixture to your shirts such as herringbones, stripes or checks. Make sure to stay with toned down colours even with the stripes and their thickness; this is especially important for your workplace. If you have narrow stripes, the shirt can be a bit more discreet. If you wear a patterned shirt, go with a plain tie.

Warning about patterned shirts

Patterned shirts with patterned ties are no-no’s since there are just too many things going on; it can hurt the eyes (not literally). You should never wear a striped suit and striped business shirt, as they don’t mix well together. It’s just too many stripes for a person’s eye. You either do pattered shirt or suit with a plain shirt or plain suit. Make sure to get your outfit right if you’re going on a date.
Now that you know what kinds of men’s business shirts, suits and ties there are, you should be able to stop wearing the same outfit constantly. The one good thing about being a man is that you need only a few general items for your attire and you can come off looking the money!
