Dressing well in the city is a difficult skill to master; you are surrounded by the high flying business men and also the overly cool kids of Camden. For the average guy it is becoming progressively hard to find a unique style that is innovative and cool but allows you also to walk around with confidence.
Many of the trends that are popular in the world today are extremely awkward to look and are often pretty weird if I am being honest. If you are looking to carry off a unique look in the city then you have got to look outside the box and explore all the avenues available to you.
The thing is, if you can find an individual style and master it then it will catch on and you will soon become the talk of the city, however if you don't you will probably get laughed at and lose all of your friends (half joking).
This article will highlight three ways in which you can improve your city image.
Act Cool
It is important to act cool with whatever you are wearing, this immediately adds to the prominence of the style you have decided to pursue. You can go for the standard jeans, pumps and a jacket and get by comfortably however if you want to get noticed in the city I'm afraid that just wont cut it.
In London specifically the fashion trends you will see as you walk around are pretty impressive (some frightening). The rise of the hipster image for both guys and girls has left many picking up the pieces of the fashion revolution. Charity stores and vintage shops have risen to prominence and the high street has been put firmly on the backburner. The evolution has been swift and relatively peaceful but that's not to say peoples images haven't been destroyed.
The competition for coolness is fierce, especially among the 20 something's of the city. My simple piece of advice, regardless of what you decide to wear is act cool, believe in what you are wearing and nobody will frown upon you. Be proud of your outfit, even if it isn't socially deemed "cool", stroll around as though it has been signed off by the hipster king of Camden.
Suit Up
This is an interesting point but one that applies to those in the city. If you are hitting the Mayfair clubs of London or the underground scene in Manchester then wearing a suit will get you the respect you crave. A suit is a foolproof way to look suave in whatever situation you find yourself in.
If you go for coffee with friends wearing a suit a slick suit, for sure you will loo
k cool. I know a suit might not be the most comfortable on a summer's day for example but if you carry off the look with some shades aswell it will be a hit with your friends and the women.
Hit the Internet
The internet is the perfect place to find your wardrobe content. Companies such as J-Bees offer a wide variety of jeans by urban brands such as G star and trainers that aren't necessarily available on the high street.
If you aren't willing to embrace the hipster image wholly this is the perfect site to find the middle ground you need.
