Fix these clothing mistakes

You might have the best outfit in the room, but if it does not fit correctly, no one will notice. Avoid these common sartorial snags and your style game is sure to make the cut.

1. Overload on accessories
Keep the jewellery to a minimum and leave multiple rings and stacks of nylon bracelets to the street style set. Go for a maximum of two.

Wearing pants that are too long
Get your pants hemmed. The “break” is where your trousers meet your shoe. Choose a little break at the bottom or no break above the shoe. Crumpled pant legs are never a good look. Save the cuffing for jeans and girls.

2. Saggy pants
The ’90s were a time when low-lying bottoms were the norm. Luckily, that time has passed. So if you are still sagging, pull your trousers up to your natural waistline, which is at least an inch and a half above your hip bones. If they cannot stay put, use a belt or take this opportunity to buy a smaller size.
Aside from making you look more put-together, this adjustment might make your other clothes such as your shirts fit better. Of course, if you have especially long legs, you might opt for low-rise trousers, which will lengthen your torso.
This way, you will look more composed and send out the right statement unlike the teenage swag.

3. Crumpled pant legs
This is what happens when you wear your pants too low—or worse, don’t get them tailored. This crumpled mess can make an expensive suit look like a cheap sack. Cuff casual pants until they rest neatly at your ankles—any more than three folds, get them hemmed. Formal pants should barely rest on your shoes (tell your tailor you want a half break). For a more modern look, cut them a bit shorter (no break) and show off some ankle, or a nice pair of patterned socks.

4. The blousy shirt
If you’ve ever bought a shirt one size too big thinking it will make you look bigger, you’re putting your look at risk. Oversized shirts make little guys appear even smaller and big guys look like they’re wearing ponchos. The test for whether a shirt fits is in the shoulder: The seam should land right on top of it. Anything that sags toward your bicep was built for someone with a bigger frame. The body should skin your torso, not spill over the sides when it’s tucked in.
