Starting from the ground up, appropriate-fitting footwear is the first step to dressing sharp.

If you’ve never owned really good shoes before, brace yourself and get ready to pay a significant amount of money for well-made, classic footwear.

Quality leather footwear isn’t a luxury for the excessively rich — it’s a necessity for any man.

Tip #2 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Dress to Look Older

The way you dress is the way you are perceived.

If you’re still wearing clothes that scream “student days” you’re going to be treated like a boy with no experience in the real world.

Buck the trend, age your look a little, and get the respect you deserve from older men.

Tip #3 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Ignore Fashion Trends.

Main-stream fashion trends change too fast to make useful wardrobe staples.

Most young men don’t have the budget to buy new pants every month or two so stay away from pants that are only presentable during an “in” season.

Stick to classic clothing staples for the core of your wardrobe and avoid anything that’s too far out on the cutting edge even if you see something that makes it look good.

If you’ve shelled out for a few pieces of good, quality clothing a custom suit, a pair of expensive dress shoes, what have you it’s worth a few bucks more to keep the clothes in good shape.

A few adjustments from a tailor can turn a five dollar thrift-store suit into your dress wardrobe staple.

Just take care of it and protect your bigger investments with some proper maintenance.

Tip #5 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Have at Least One Good Suit in the Closet

If you’re in a field where you’re going to wear one regularly you should look for a variety of colours and styles; if you just need a single suit for infrequent dress occasions stick with a classic single-breasted, two-button suit in charcoal gray or navy blue.

Tip #6 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Build from White and Blue Shirts

White and light blue cotton dress shirts are the backbone to a sharp wardrobe.

Much of this lies in the fact both of these colours make up approximately 90% of the dress shirts sold worldwide and that either colour looks good on most complexions and body types.

Being so popular, these shirt fabrics are also available in a wide range of style and sizes anywhere inthe world, making acquisition at a value price likely for the man on the lookout for sales and discounts.

Jean styles are always changing: rips, tears, acid and bleach washing, distressed, stone washed, boot cut, wide leg, low rise, skinny; baggy.

Keep it simple with and stick to fitted jeans in a dark colour, sans fading or rips.

Tip #8 for Sharp-Dressed Men: Look beyond Denim

Well cut and classically styled trousers will make you look a little sharper at social occasions than jeans.

They’re less common in a young crowd, so you’ll already be standing out, and a good pair of slacks has a drape and crease that looks much crisper than denim.

Tip # 9 for Sharp-Dressed Young Men: Replace T-shirts with Polos and Sport Shirts

Wearing T-shirts to the gym or when you are performing house chores is fine.

But wearing T-shirts to social events or to work is a no-no, especially when the shirt is too big and made from a shoddy fabric advertising the company who gave it to you a decade ago.

A good polo in a simple, dark colour is always presentable and always flattering if it’s fitted well.
