11 Habits Of A Stylish Gentleman
1. HE MAINTAINS HIS CLOTHES & SHOES
Buying clothes and staying stylish is just one half of the process, maintaining and taking care of them is another half of the process. This is the number one habit of a stylish gentleman, you need to keep your clothes in pristine condition which allows them to always look fresh and presentable.
The little things you do count. So, make sure to wash, repair, iron, and try to shine your shoes once a week. But if you’ve got the money, just send it to the dry cleaners.
2. HE TAKES CARE OF HIS UNDERWEAR
As a stylish gentleman, you should treat your underwear with the same respect as the rest of your wardrobe. Like your clothes, you should wash and iron them regularly! A man’s underwear says a lot about him and women will notice these little things like a dirty underwear, an unmade bed, a scattered room, etc.
Trust me, you don’t want to give people the wrong impression about you. Faded or torn underwear should be thrown away! You should commit to keeping your underwear clean and fresh. Always shop for a new set of underwear every 3 to 6 months.

3. HE HAS AN ESTABLISHED RAPPORT WITH A STYLE PARTNER
A “style partner” in success is exactly what you need when you want to build a new wardrobe, upgrade your existing wardrobe, dress up for an occasion, or have a suit, shirt, or dress pants tailored to fit!
A stylish man knows the importance of a tailor, a personal stylist, and an image/style consultant. He is also loyal to one he trusts.
A tailor is your go-to person when you need your clothing to fit, from creating bespoke pieces for you to altering your clothes, there’s nothing that a tailor can’t improve with a nip and a tuck. He is your go-to person for all your tailoring and alteration requests as the need arises.
Better still get yourself an image or style consultant that offers these services and more, to be your partner in style, helping you project the right image and appearance at all times.
In summary, find a Style Partner who knows exactly what you need with respect to your image goals and can help you develop a unique personal style that matches your lifestyle and goals. Once you’ve found this individual/company, stay loyal to them.

4. HE HAS A SIGNATURE SCENT
A stylish gentleman has the trademark scent that he sticks to. He also understands the importance of not overpowering the room with his scent. He chooses a unique scent, like classy and manly perfume or spray. This is a sure way to stand out in a room full of stylish gents and ladies, winks!

5. HE ORGANISES HIS WARDROBE
A stylish gentleman keeps his wardrobe organized and in order. From his shoes neatly stored to his accessories being neatly put away, a stylish man has a wardrobe that is well put together. He organizes them by color, type, and sizes. This way, he doesn’t scatter his wardrobe getting dressed in the morning.
6. HE IS NOT AFRAID TO ACTUALLY ‘SHOP’
A stylish man isn’t afraid to go out and physically shop for his clothes. A lot of men have what we call ‘agoraphobia’ – a fear of shopping.
I’m not surprised that men have a phobia for shopping since they already think it’s too girly to shop and some are always confused. Not to worry, KOBI KOACHMAN‘s Personal Shopping Service is available to put you out of your misery. Hit us up if you need help!
7. HE LOOKS AFTER HIMSELF
A man who doesn’t know how to take care of himself still has some growing up to do. A mature and stylish gentleman knows that eating well and exercising makes a huge difference to his overall appearance. A little exercise and a balanced diet can have a big impact on how you look and feel. So pick up those weights and get to work!
8. HE HAS A GROOMING ROUTINE
Imagine a well-dressed man walk into a room full of people and he is sporting a messy hair and a beard that is ungroomed. Yeah, I know we’re both thinking the same thing. If you neglect this vital part of your morning routine, then you have woefully failed as a stylish man. Every stylish man ‘must’ have a grooming routine, no excuses, please! From grooming your beards (or shaving it depending on your preferred choice) to using a deodorant, these are daily rituals you should practice as a stylish man.

9. HE PAYS ATTENTION TO THE FINER DETAILS
A stylish man understands the importance of paying attention to details. This makes him stand out because he understands little details like choosing the right pocket square for the right suit to how way it is folded, to the fabric, and down to his shoes and socks. He pays attention to every detail because he understands that every detail counts.
10. FREQUENT VISITS TO A RELIABLE BARBER
Just like staying loyal to your tailor, you also need to stay loyal to your barber. Regular visits to a trusted barber who knows the importance and beauty of your personal style are one of the habits a stylish man should maintain. Have a standing appointment every two to three weeks with your hairstylist, skipping a haircut appointment is an excuse to look sloppy.
11. PLANNING AHEAD OF TIME
A lot of people may think it’s not necessary to plan your style ahead of time. But I beg to differ, just in case you don’t know, planning your looks ahead of time will guarantee a more integrated and polished styling. A stylish person understands the importance of details and how planning ahead is key to constructing looks that are well thought out and remain stylish. Prepare outfits ahead of time by picking the appropriate accessories before an event for a flawless appearance.
