Here\u2019s a guide on how to give your guy an elevated man style that remains both classic, current, and overall sexy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try a&nbsp;Modern Haircut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/256px-Ryan_Gosling_Cannes_2014.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan Gosseling Cannes 2014\" class=\"wp-image-126159\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/256px-Ryan_Gosling_Cannes_2014.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/256px-Ryan_Gosling_Cannes_2014-175x300.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the years where every man had the same side part and greased back look. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/men-style-advice\/\">men can express a variety of styles<\/a> that remain uncomplicated and true to his personality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is your significant other looking for a simple look? Try the cool look of a close buzz a la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/2000s-fashion-trends\/\">Justin Timberlake<\/a> to enhance his features.<\/li><li>Is his hair lush and curly? No need to lop it all off. Go for a neat crop that shapes the face \u2014 it can even be long enough to brush behind the ears.<\/li><li>Finally, of course, there is always the classic side-part. It\u2019s a universally flattering look that balances out the face.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An important point to note on your man&#8217;s hair. Proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/hair-products-under-5\/\">haircare<\/a> is as important as the cut. If he\u2019s out of college, it\u2019s time he brushes his hair. We kid, we kid (sort of). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest in long-lasting (think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/why-we-love-costco\/\">Costco<\/a>-sized) shampoos and conditioners for him. And load him down with compliments when he uses them. Let him know that neat and oil-free is sexy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tidy the facial hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/city-man-person-face.jpg\" alt=\"close up of man&#039;s beard\" class=\"wp-image-103163\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/city-man-person-face.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/city-man-person-face-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What started as a trend has become a staple for casual and professional men alike.

Chances are, those suits don&#8217;t fit well. Just sayin&#8217;. The best thing you can do for your man is buy him a suit that&#8217;s been fitted and tailored. It could be the difference between him looking like a giant box or a dapper gentleman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to a&nbsp;nearby Nordstrom and a suit salesperson&nbsp;will gladly take all his measurements down to create a customized fit for him. This&nbsp;doesn\u2019t need to be expensive \u2014 shop the sales to find the best deal. And&nbsp;keep those measurements handy for future use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shine those shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, we do live in a casual world, but not every event calls for sneakers and flip-flops. Two good pairs of loafers in black and brown are no-nonsense go-tos that he should have on hand. Shop the seasonal sales at Macy\u2019s, Nordstrom, or even a DSW.&nbsp; Subscribe for e-deals through your favorite department stores. Loafers never go out of style, and he can wear them to weddings, job interviews or a nice dinner out with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, remember to keep those shoes shined! He paid good money to not have scuffed shoes. Invest in a shoe-shining kit and make sure those shoes stay clean. Ever heard of a spit-shine?&nbsp; That will do in a pinch as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay attention to the socks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fashion-men-vintage-colorful.jpg\" alt=\"men in suits wearing colorful socks\" class=\"wp-image-103164\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fashion-men-vintage-colorful.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fashion-men-vintage-colorful-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this aloud to him now, he\u2019s probably rolling his eyes and sighing: <em>\u2018But socks don\u2019t show!<\/em>\u2019 You heard it here: they definitely do. When he\u2019s sitting, crossing his legs, or riding a bike, those bright white Nike crew socks are flashing everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether he has an artistic flair or a straight-forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/what-is-my-style\/\">personality<\/a>, there are socks for every taste that will truly finish the look. Look for fashion-forward socks that incorporate fun patterns and colors, and he&#8217;s sure to get into the shopping game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessorize with the right watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The must-have essential for any modern man is a statement watch. There\u2019s something debonair about a bold timepiece on his wrist, and this will probably be the easiest thing to change about his wardrobe. And since looking debonair is about the details, you can\u2019t pass up the accessories. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvmtwatches.com\/collections\/all-mens-watches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watches for men<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><use href=\"#wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;are available in a variety of styles to suit his fashion sense (or lack thereof).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you go with the classic leather band or try something flashy with metallic, you\u2019d be surprised at what a difference this simple change can make in his wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any man style tips to share?
