Fashion is something that is mostly subjective to the tastes of individuals. This usually means that people are free to dress however they see fit, but there is usually a limit to how outrageous you can get before you start to look pretentious or a little questionable. The world of fashion is, after all, constantly recycling old trends to turn them into newer ones. However, there will always be one type of dress sense that will continue to be accepted no matter what the year is: rugged.

Rugged men look reliable

Being physically fit and confident paves the way for looking rugged. Well-trimmed facial hair and properly styled hair can go a long way to making you look dependable and reliable. This gives you plenty of bonus points when it comes to your workplace. You’ll attract not only the opposite sex (and sometimes even other men!) but you’ll also be easier to approach for customers. This makes you a great asset to any company or business that requires you to look your best for public appearances. Nothing beats a man that looks like they know what they’re doing, and it’s all in the way you act and how you dress.

 

Looking rugged can be cheap

Looking great doesn’t need to be expensive for men, especially if you’re going for a rugged and reliable look. Bright colors should be avoided at all costs—rugged men don’t need to stand out from the crowd with their clothing. They should stand out due to the air of confidence they project and not because they’re wearing something that screams “pay attention to me!”. A great place to pick up fantastic clothing for a low price is actually a thrift store. Most clothing items from these stores are well-worn which make them fit around you perfectly. You’ll look comfortable in your own clothing and there’s usually a wide selection of simple garments that don’t have silly slogans or designs on them.

You also need to think about your shoes. A pair of work boots is fantastic for both work and outdoor purposes and they’re sturdy enough to stand up against all kinds of damage. If you scratch or dent work boots, they won’t look horrible and beaten like a pair of fancy trainers. You can find the best work boots for men on this site with comparisons and reviews. Your boots need to be able to carry through mountains, deserts, and rocky terrain without ever failing you.

Does your closet seem like it is lacking something? It might be a denim skirt. In fact, adding a few denim skirts to your wardrobe is a great idea. When you are shopping for some, keep in mind you can wear each skirt you buy multiple times and in many different ways. You can also look for denim skirts with unique features you love. For example, some have pockets that can be handy when you need to carry items, as well as fashionable. They also come in many colors and washes. Also, the lengths of denim skirts vary from mini to maxi, so you can find one that suits your needs perfectly in terms of your personal style, occasions and seasons.

 

The attitude to go with it
Rugged men need to have the attitude to go with their clothing. As mentioned plenty of times in this article, you need to be able to project an air of confidence if you want the clothes to fit you. You shouldn’t look overpowered in your clothing and you need to wear it with pride without looking like a total douche. Your simple clothing should make you stand out a little if you’re in a crowd of colorfully dressed people, but you should aim to blend in and remain inconspicuous—your attention-drawing should come from the way you walk, act and speak to people.

 

That said, you shouldn’t feel as though minimalism is the means by which to attract simplicity. By reading this mens jewelry style guide you can see how even accessories can be understated and work well. 

 

The more you feel comfortable in expressing yourself to this end, the better you’ll look and feel.
