The meaning of the modern image
Nowadays, men's hairstyles are a symbol of self-expression. Now you can tell a lot about a man by looking at his head. Some images help to change the appearance, they hide flaws, and emphasize the merits. Also, a haircut can give masculinity, courage, or vice versa, romance and softness.
To improve your appearance, you need to know the shape of your face and choose those hairstyles that suit your hair structure. Hair, like clothing, either adorns a person, or makes a gray mouse out of him.
Let's talk about the basic men's wardrobe and its features after 50.
Appearance, whoever says what, plays important role in our life. The way we look is sometimes crucial both in personal relationships and in work. Agree, it is always nice to see a person next to you who looks after himself and his clothes. And men, sometimes, find it difficult to understand the issues of style. Because there is less information and more prejudice.
Dear men, especially for you, this small memo on the basic rules of style.
- Wardrobe preferences and base
A wardrobe with the necessary capsules is optimal and convenient. A capsule is things that make up the "backbone" of your image for a specific situation and are well combined with each other.
Wardrobe capsules are different, and the set of things in them depends on the lifestyle that you lead. Analyze your life: where you mostly go, how you spend your time. Let's say your main areas of life are office work, fishing or hunting, home.
This means that your wardrobe should consist of:
From business and casual wear,
Specialized clothing (for a fisherman or hunter),
Clothes for the home.

Having several well-chosen wardrobe capsules, you can easily make daily sets according to the situation, replacing only worn-out things in them. Remember that a successful style is basically the right outfit for the situation.
- The size
Know your size. And only wear your own size. The opinion that clothing hides the fullness bigger size, and slimness is given by clothes of a smaller size, mistakenly. Only in “your size” will you look dignified and stylish.
Finding out your clothing size is quite simple:
To buy a top (shirts, jumpers, jackets, outerwear) the main measurement is the girth of the chest. The neck circumference will come in handy when buying a shirt.
To buy a bottom (trousers, jeans, shorts), you need to know the circumference of the waist and hips.
Let's say your chest circumference is 104 cm, which means that you clothes fit 52 sizes (Russian size). The correspondence of Russian sizes to international designations can be found in the tables below.

An important nuance: in order not to look ridiculous, match your age and status in clothes. Wardrobe young man and a respectable middle-aged man should be different. Consider this when choosing clothes, shoes and men's accessories.
- Suit and shirt
Even if you are not a fan of office wear, one suit and a couple of shirts should be in your closet. Well-chosen, from quality materials, they will help you out in any situation and add points to your image.
How to choose the right suit?
Buy a suit in a neutral or dark color (e.g. navy blue, gray).
Try on the suit with shoes and a belt so that the pants are not too short or too long.
Pay attention to the following main nuances:
the legs of the trousers should fall over the shoes and have a slight crease, but should not drag along the ground;
the shoulders of the jacket should not be wider than your own and should not hinder you in movement;
when choosing a suit, take into account the morphology of your body, make sure that the suit is not too narrow or too spacious.
And by the way, important for fans elegant style: It is customary to wear a suit vest under a single-breasted jacket, but not under a double-breasted one.
Colour. If you only need shirts for a suit, get two plain shirts: a neutral color and a bright one.
sleeve length... Ideally, sleeves or cuffs should hide the wrist and reach the base thumb hands.
shirt collar. It must match your size (see size chart).
4. Details
Unkempt hair or frayed shoes can kill the most expensive suit. Therefore, carefully monitor exactly these details of your image:
Hairstyle and beard
Accuracy is your trump card! With regard to hairstyles the best option for a middle-aged man, there will be a short haircut. Especially if you don't know which hairstyle is right for you. If you wear a beard, follow the golden saying of famous fashion designer Paul Smith: “Light two-day stubble on young guy looks cool, on an adult - careless, especially gray-haired. Wear a neat, well-groomed beard. "
Boots
It is recommended to have two pairs of shoes: black and brown. Shoes should be worn alternately, so they will be ventilated and last longer. Beveled heels can compromise you, so get your heels on in time. And, of course, keep your shoes clean so as not to negate the thoughtfulness of your image with unkempt boots.
Watch
A watch is a must-have accessory for a respectable person and an element of style that should never be economized on. This is the same accessory that is an indicator of male status. Therefore, in order to create a successful image, I recommend that you spare no money and buy a quality watch that will look great both with a casual set and with the best suit.
In conclusion, I want to say that a well-dressed man is not someone who is subject to all fashion trends and not someone who spends a lot of money on things. Stylish image- it is, first of all, grooming, modernity and mutual harmony of your clothes with your character and lifestyle.
