Let’s face it: most men need help when it comes to dressing, and in my experience the most effective way to improve their style is to do it without even realizing it.
Although not strictly fair, this method generates the least resistance.
Before your covert operation can begin, you have to get rid of all the disgusting stuff they possess. Go slowly, though: when it comes to change, men scare easily, so start with a few items at a time.
I did this when I moved in with my now husband. His biggest wardrobe offender was an ill-fitting leather jacket that I hated. For men, out of sight is quickly out of mind – so discreetly give away anything you don’t like. He didn’t notice it for weeks because most men don’t care about their clothes as much as we do.
This approach ensures that they won’t notice that your style operation is in full swing. If they ask you where these items are, deny any knowledge of their whereabouts until they forget them.

And it will, especially once the second part of your campaign begins: systematically buying much better replacements for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, etc. Start with shirts, knits and jackets before moving on to shoes.
Make sure your children also buy them items of clothing that you have chosen for special occasions.
Emotional blackmail is a useful style tool.
If it is a gift from the heart, he is obliged to wear these pieces. Flattery works too. Tell him he looks great with these new gifts because if he was bought by you, of course he will too.
Without even knowing it, he will subconsciously start to love looking more stylish because he will start receiving compliments on the clothes you have chosen. And everyone, especially men, loves compliments on their appearance.
When you’re shopping together, you accidentally walk into the men’s department. Then choose innocently stylish items, coolly suggestive
he makes a quick attempt. Another good tactic is to talk about men who you think have a great fashion sense. Point them out at every opportunity and be enthusiastic about them.
Over time, its old style will be replaced and eventually forgotten. Fortunately, men’s fashion doesn’t change from year to year, so his new garments will last a very long time before they look outdated. And then another operation has to be done.
Follow my advice and soon there will be a much more stylish man standing next to you. And the best part is, he won’t even realize he’s been transformed by you – it was all his idea.
Smart him.
It suits you, sir
Add a little je ne sais quoi to your man’s wardrobe by introducing him to French label Sézane. This fresh version of the denim shacket, called Will, looks great with a white T-shirt and dark jeans.

My new favorite for high quality cashmere, Soft Goat, also has a beautiful range for men. This waffle half-zip is a perfect spring addition and can also easily be borrowed for your wardrobe!
Oh boy!
When it comes to menswear, I often wonder why Hailey Bieber doesn’t run for the hills. She always looks super slim, while husband Justin’s style goes from bad to worse.
