DRESSED TO THE NINES
The anatomy of a stylish and sophisticated man
Contrary to popular belief, men who are deemed stylish are not so much as born with it (though some are fortunate enough to claim so) are refined by time and experience. Their style comes from the men and women in their lives, particularly their mothers, wives and girlfriends. Important milestones such as prom, graduation, their first day at work, and also weddings and holidays compel men to look their best. Like a good bottle of red, men look better as they age.
But how can you tell if a man is stylish or not? Let’s start with the basics: shoes. Men love their shoes. If there’s one thing they’d be gushing about when it comes to fashion, it would be this. A stylish man knows the right choice of footwear for every occasion. He knows which items of clothing complement each other based on its color, style, and fit.
However, a fashionable man isn’t only defined by the clothes he wears. He also takes care of his physical appearance and even crafts his own grooming routine. It isn’t because he is vain, but he wants to be presentable and his best self to others.
Every true gentleman is more than just the physical, but is largely concerned with the relationship that stems from this facet of humanity. This means knowing his tailor’s name because he trusts him enough to handle his bespoke clothes that fit him best in more ways than one. Besides the tailor’s name, his dependable barber’s name and number is in his contact list, so every time he wants a fresh cut, he simply requests that he wants “the usual.”
But being stylish and sophisticated aren’t measured by how expensive his garments are. More importantly, a dapper man dresses his age and comfortable in his own skin. And to support his specific lifestyle he has handy financial tools like the Metrobank Rewards Plus Visa where he can earn up to two times rewards points on electronic, gadget, telecommunications, transportation, and online spend. Basically, whenever a Php 20.00 is spend anywhere, it earns additional one reward point. Points that he can exchange with premium items to help level up his styling game, and sees to it he is always presentable anytime.
