After 25, 20 Basic Clothing Rules for Men

For men, 25 years old marks an important watershed, a reference point for one-third of life. Many founders listed on Forbes’ rankings started their careers between 25-30 years old:

A man at 25, having graduated a few years ago, is no longer the “little kid just out of school” in others’ mouths.

He needs to consider finding a higher-paying job, think about whether to change to a different girlfriend, consider going abroad for a period of living, and unconsciously compare himself to friends around him. He also contemplates whether to start a business and do something big, but… hesitates, afraid of failure.

He notices that he’s aging quickly—skin deteriorates, hair falls out, nights spent working late are endless, and he realizes he’s not all-knowing and omnipotent as he once imagined. He needs to learn time management and start paying attention to health. No more spending days “at nightclubs, head-shaking with me, partying till dawn.”

When dealing with many strangers, he begins to socialize but is timid and unsure of what to say, how to express himself, or even where to put his hands, and what to wear.

I can’t teach you how to make it onto the Forbes list, but at least I can teach you how to dress.

After 25, dressing like a person is the most important thing. Here are 20 basic clothing rules for you after 25. Compare with yourself and improve:

1: Dressing well is quite important;

When you change into clothes in the morning and get ready to go out, look in the mirror and ask yourself honestly: Is what I’m wearing appropriate? Does it show respect for others? Dressing well isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s “good enough.”

2: Know what “good” is. You can fake it when necessary, but don’t get caught;

It’s normal to spend without much restraint at this age. Keep interest and curiosity about life, raise your standards of “good,” and occasionally pretend. But when you pull out your keys at the bar, don’t let anyone see that your clothes are from Taobao.

3: Quantity isn’t everything. Buy the best you can afford;

Buying clothes and shoes is a very worthwhile investment, but choose carefully. Don’t pursue quantity; aim for each piece to be classic in style and made of high-quality fabric.

4: A good-looking face is a bonus; if you’re not good-looking, can you still go die?

It’s said that good-looking faces have youth. After 25, the importance of face diminishes with the flow of youth. Moreover, you’re already so ugly—why not just jump off a building?

5: Maintain your figure and make your body unpicky about clothes—this is the biggest challenge in the coming years;

As you step into your 30s, often you have no partner, no high salary, no prospects—only tons of fat. Sitting for long periods, fatigue, and high heat are enemies. Don’t aim for muscularity; just keep slim.

6: Don’t wear clothes with large logos;

If you like flashy patterns, choose meaningless repetitive designs.

7: Dress appropriately for the occasion;

When you wear a Tianjin Teda or Shanghai Shenhua jersey and appear outside the workers’ gym on a Friday night…

8: Pay attention to fabric quality; more important than knowing brands;

Understand what high-quality fabric is. When buying clothes, focus on fabric, style, and cut, not the brand.

9: Wake up! College is over. Buy a decent pair of shoes;

In college, you could wear sneakers all the time, but now that you’ve graduated, buy a proper pair of leather shoes. The line from Kingsman, “Better to have a good pair of shoes than a good suit,” makes some sense.

10: No matter what job you do, have a proper suit;

When attending a friend’s wedding, a company annual meeting, or an important interview, a proper suit is necessary. If you don’t have these, reflect on where your social circle has gone.

11: Wear accessories; details can easily reflect taste;

The key is, accessories are much cheaper than clothes.

12: Try to avoid wearing white socks, especially white long socks;

You are not Michael Jackson.

13: If not going to exercise, try not to wear sneakers;

You are not Steve Jobs.

14: Try not to wear thermal underwear unless you’re handing out flyers outdoors every day;

Choose pants carefully. A pair of thermal underwear can make your legs look bulky, ruining all details in a second. If it’s too cold, wear a down outer layer.

15: Tie two ties—one wide, one narrow;

After 25, the wide one is for meeting your father-in-law, and the narrow one is convenient for turning right out of your father-in-law’s house into a nightclub.

16: Change your clothes and shoes every two days, at most three;

Change every two days. After three days, it’s spoiled.

17: Learn how to properly wash clothes and shoes, and keep high-value clothes and shoes well;

Spend money on decent clothes. Throwing them into the washing machine and taking them out turns them into rags. Use them to wipe shoes or floors, or make a dog bed—quite suitable.

18: Always buy clothes one size smaller;

This is a magical rule for buying clothes. The simplest way to ensure a good fit is to buy one size smaller, as long as it’s not too tight. Suitable for any Western brand’s ready-to-wear.

19: Find the best-dressed person around you and imitate their style;

Learning from those around you is the fastest way. This person might make you feel inexplicably inferior, so observe their actions and details carefully, and boldly imitate.

20: Don’t chase trends; follow classics;

If you can’t keep up with trends, the smartest way is to be 1-2 steps behind. That way, you can distinguish what’s just a passing wave and what will become a classic.
