Money can serve your cravings, but you have to master the art of carrying those valuables elegantly. The process of dressing up for an occasion is so engrossing that most of us end up messing with the outfits. We overlook the basics & end up with a perplexed demeanor. I found ten common mistakes that require our immediate attention. I bet, most of you wouldn’t be even aware of it. Take a look!
1. Avoid over-grooming, your ball may end up in a wrong court
A man must be a mix of class & robustness. A gentle massage could be justified after a long day at the office. But treating ourselves to the somberness of detailed grooming is a bit too much. Stay rugged, stay macho.

2. No handkerchief in the shirt's pocket, please!
Don't overburden your shirt, simple as that. Leave it alone. For all the stuffing, your pant's pockets are at your service. Stack your keys, wallet or handkerchief there, it is pretty spacious there!

3. Cologne yourself up just adequately: There exists a fine line between the state of being perfectly perfumed & drenched in perfume. Refrain from trespassing it. You soaked in perfume will end up nauseating people in your surrounding. Sprinkle it smartly & for that, you must know the areas to be covered. You must cover nape, shoulder & underarms with mild sprinkling in the torso region. Girls like your moderately perfumed appearance. Food for thought!
4. Loose pants & tight shirts, you look like a dumbfuck: Congratulations! You’ve successfully made a specimen of yourself. Taking a stroll of few other showrooms & trying as many clothes won't hurt as much, as your lousy appearance would. Drooped shoulder or an Arnold-esque torso making life hell of your buttons doesn’t speak good of your appearance. The same goes for your trouser too, which seems to be borrowed from your best friend. Either get them custom stitched or buy one only when you have found out a perfect fitting.
5. Figure out your gene for jeans: Do your homework before you step out to buy a pair of jeans. If you have no idea, there are plenty of jeans type out there & you have to figure out the perfect one depending on your appearance. It can be a regular fit or a slim fit, a narrow bottom or completely skinny. Find out your perfect match before you begin your quest to find a match for yourself.
6. Don't overload yourself with fashion accessories: Stop trying to be a Rastafarian! You are no Bob Marley. Bands only add to your brimming persona & depict you as a trendy lad. But too many bands look shabby. Keep your 'Band'width limited to 2-3 accessories & look stylish.
7. Decide where your pant ends: Again a vital aspect of good dressing that we mostly ignore. Make the junction of your trouser & shoe look smooth & natural. Avoid crumpled or folded trouser, it doesn't augur well for you. Most of you know your exact height by now, get your trouser altered to the perfect length. No more, no less!
8. Don't choke up your shoes: Respiration is a life withstanding process & it is everyone's prerogative to breathe freely, then why to break down your shoes. Of course, I understand that only living being respire, but shoes are your sweethearts & you love them, don't you? So make them presentable in the best possible way. Allow the top vents of shoes to remain free of laces. It looks classy in the first place & makes them a comfortable accomplice.
9. Socks with sandals: Seriously man! What exactly was going on in your mind while trying this epic combination? Most of the mortals wouldn't try it in the wildest of their dreams. You must be one man with guts to try it. Socks are meant for shoes, not sandals. So don't even think about trying the combination in near future. Period
10. Dark glasses in more dismal place! Not fair!! On a very serious note, you must be educated enough to know the exact usage of the fashion accessory before you begin your exciting journey with it. Remember to take your sunglasses off before entering a club, building or a metro train. You are mocking yourself that way. Wearing dark glass in more dismal place isn't justified unless you are a patient of conjunctivitis or cataract (no offence meant to affect people). Well, you aren't infected, are you? So don’t show up like one the next time.
Now that you are through with the first class on the basics of dressing, I guess it would come handy when you are dressing up for a special occasion. Stay tuned for the next set of 10 silly mistakes that you do on a daily basis!
