Dressing stylishly is something that we all aspire to. It can bring out our personalities and allows us to be filled with confidence as we go about our daily lives. Some of us find it effortlessly easy, whereas others put in all the effort and are left wearing a dress that looks like a bag of spuds, or wearing a pair of trousers around our ankles as if we were the worst dressed kid at school. Nobody wants to be that person so here we are going to look at 9 tested ways to be stylish this year.
1. Grow a Mustache
You must think I’m mad to put this in at number 1, but gentlemen, trust me on this one, mustaches are back in vogue. There are so many styles to fit different face shapes, from the pencil to the handlebar to the walrus. Whatever you do, make sure it is well-groomed and you will attract envious glances from men and adoring looks from the ladies.
2. Layers
Wearing layer after layer is super on point this season, and why not given it is very difficult to fail? The more layers you have the less chance you have of making a bad statement so go for those socks, leggings and skirt look, or the hoodie with a jacket and a scarf. Surprise yourself!
3. Go Retro
The retro look has never gone out of fashion and will be with us until the day we die, but maybe you have nothing in your wardrobes that reflects this. Why not look at some vintage t-shirts and pair them up with a leather or denim jacket combo? This classic look gives an air of coolness that cannot easily be matched and will have your friends and lovers alike swooning over you.

5. Sunglasses
You should never be seen without a pair of sunglasses, even indoors. They cover a multitude of sins from the night before and also lend a mysterious air that will set pulses racing. Worried about eye contact? Well, you needn’t be bothered because you can hold it, it’s up to others to adjust to your style, and they will!

7. Polo Neck Sweaters
Polo neck sweaters went out of fashion in the 70’s right? Not a chance. Imagine how sharp James Bond or Michael Caine are in a classic polo neck and you too could achieve this suave look. It is entirely practical and paired with a double-breasted jacket will leave you looking like a style icon.
8. Chinos
Chinos are the perfect multi-purpose trouser for both men and women. They can be showcased in any color and any style from skinny fit to carrot cut.

These are a must for any stylish wardrobe.
