Style Doesn't Have to Be Rocket Science... But it Might Be Close for some Men

Fashion should be part of your everyday routine, not an enigma wrapped in a mystery, dunked in haute couture. We found 7 simple steps to be "stylish-ish"—originally aimed at the other 50%. Naturally, we tweaked it into something more appropriately ManFitting.

7 Steps to Be Stylish AND ManPossible’s (MP) Translation:

1. Update Your Wardrobe... Once in a While
No need to torch your entire closet and run to the mall. Just wear stuff that actually fits (nobody wants to see your belly button unless you're on a beach) and go for timeless, not trendy.
MP Translation: Try updating your wardrobe at least once a decade. Stick with the classics—think non-iron shirts from J.Crew or Banana Republic, and your trusty jeans. If matching is hard, services like TrunkClub (from Nordstrom) have semi-hot stylists who will help you look semi-handsome—just be ready to drop some cash on their picks.

2. Invest in Timeless, Not Trendy (Rich Vibes Only)
A black sweater that's brand name and simple? Instant upgrade. It makes everything look a bit more "oh, I summer in Monaco."
MP Translation: Get a few timeless items that scream "wealth," but make sure they scream it looks good on you first. Yeah, looking rich is cool and all, but you’re mature enough to avoid gold diggers, right?

3. Understatement > Overkill
Nothing kills style faster than looking like you tried too hard. Keep it simple, and people will think you're effortlessly cool.
MP Translation: Never overdo any outfit—except for your socks. Funky socks are forever stylish.

4. Hair: The Crown You Never Take Off (Unless You're Bald)
For everyday looks, embrace the bedhead or go with loose, natural styles. For fancy events, go for something classy without too much effort.
MP Translation: Focus on your hair—if you’ve still got some. Let it breathe, enjoy the wind, and if it’s disappearing... hats are an option.

5. Makeup? Nah. Clothes? Yes.
Makeup is like extra credit, not required reading. Same goes for your wardrobe—don't treat it like a life raft. Just get dressed, please.
MP Translation: Clothing is essential. Period.

6. Find Your Look & Stick to It (Channel Your Inner Jobs)
When you’ve got a signature look, people will think you’re stylish without you even trying. Just ask Steve Jobs—mock necks and Levi’s never let him down.
MP Translation: Pick a style you love and stick to it. You can never own too many mock necks... or too many pairs of the same jeans.

7. Confidence Is Key (Seriously)
Look, you could be wearing a trash bag, but if you're rocking it with swagger, nobody will care. Confidence makes the outfit, full stop.
MP Translation: Confidence? You've got ManPossible... what else do you need to feel like a legend?
