Dress to impress on a Date - Grooming Tips for Men

All too often, when people settle down together, they get comfortable and let their hair down. There’s nothing wrong with that but if your relationship starts to go down because it is in need of a breath of fresh air, the quickest way to inject some spark into it is to make an effort into your appearance the way you did when you both started dating each other. There are countless of articles on what women can do to look better so let’s take a look at what men can do. So, How to dress to Impress on a Date?

Shave : The best way to look new again and drop the scruffy look is to get a close shave. Nothing looks more neglected than an unkempt beard. If your woman likes bearded men, at least groom it, give it some shape and make it glow and look healthy. If you like to have a little stubble on show, same thing – give it a shape and don’t let the stubble spread everywhere like a disease. Otherwise a good close shave will not only make you feel and look fresh but also get rid of dead skin on the surface and help it glow. An easy first step to achieve.

Hair: What could come next after shaving than getting a hair cut? At the moment, the fashion for men is for very short hair. Ditch the 60’s look with parted hair. At the same time, you don’t want to look like everyone else as in a prison. Try to find your unique style or if you are drastically changing your haircut, then that’s good enough. At the very least, you want to trim it and give it some shape. Hair grows from the root so the ends are the oldest and most damaged. So a trim will help to get rid of the old bits. Finally, use hair gel sparingly, if at all. You don’t want to be dripping wet or send the wrong message to the other sex.

Clothes:To wrap up the goods nicely, you need beautiful clothes. Ditch the comfortable tracksuit outfit or rugby shirt and go for clothes that have shape. A shirt for example. Pure cotton shirts are great if you are of the luxury type.If you have a good figure, wear a slim-fit shirt to emphasize it, otherwise, keep to the standard cut. If you want to wear a suit jacket yet still look relaxed, team it up with a plain t-shirt underneath. With a suit jacket, even jeans will do. Finally, if you really like t-shirts or just want to look casual on a hot summer day out, polo shirts are a great alternative.

These tips to improve your appearance can help in your everyday couple’s life or if you are single, to inject some vitality and new blood into your dating habits. Good luck!
