Basically this thread is supposed to help you dress in a more elegant and sophisticated way for yourself, and not for copying the vulgar clothing Chad wears in order to gain foids. So this is for gentlemen or other incels who want to be more elegant. I am a bit lazy so I'm not going to do a 101 guide, just a quick thing.
1. Stop wearing the wrong tie knot:
This is a huge one for me, many people can do the basics okay but not the details, that's why the tie knot is a big telltale of elegance (or the lack of it). I see way too many people wearing some sort of ghastly shapeless knot, instead, you should try the Windsor knot, it looks glorious and classy, it will boost your appearance.
2. Burn all your jeans:
Why would you wear jeans in the first place when dress trousers look so much better? This is self-explanatory.
3. Say goodbye to two-piece suits, go for to the almighty three-piece instead:
I have to admit that I own a couple of two-piece suits myself, but I rarely wear them, a three-piece suit it's the pinnacle of the everyday clothing. It looks dashing and it showcases a marvellous taste. I am an introverted person but when I wear a suit I become really confident, and it's such a pleasure just wearing it even if there is no one to look at it.
4. Always wear a watch:
Even though I usually wear pocket watches (I already said I'm old fashioned) I still own many normal watches (English is not my native language, I may be making some mistakes or simply not knowing the names of certain things). Keep it elegant and sophisticated at all times (if you own any watch with drawings on it or a plastic band, just throw it away), some basics are: Brown leather strap, a golden watch, silver watch and maybe a black one. This is a personal tip: don't buy watches with normal numbers, buy only the ones with roman numbers, I prefer it that way but it's not a rule that other people follow. Never forget to wear one.
5. Never forget to wear a pocket square:
Also, pay attention to the fold, I only wear the presidential fold and other types that I don't know the names of, one is a bit puffy and the other just has one point. Some people fold it so it looks like spikes (it has three points) but that it's just ugly. The square is extremely important, please don't skip this step.
6. Get yourself a tuxedo:
The tuxedo is the most splendid thing a man could ever wear. I know, there aren't many occasions to wear one (unless you are like me and go to the opera often) but it's still really important to have one of your own and not just rent it when you need it. A tuxedo makes you feel on top of the world and it makes your heart so happy that it's worth the investment. Also, don't be shy to wear it around your city, when I have to do something before or after an event I don't really care if people see me with my tuxedo because I have a reason to wear it, so ever so occasionally I wear it just for fun and people of course assume that you are going to an event afterwards. If you are more low inhib you can wear an old fashioned one (you know, top hat, white ties and tales) but I know not everyone is into that, I actually attended prom dressed like that, and yes, everyone asked me if I was dressed up as a magician but I didn't care at all.
There are many more things but I am kind of tired after writing this, maybe I'll make a part two but I don't think many of you will care about it, I still have hope that there's at least another true gentleman on this forum. If you would like to dress like this but you are too shy remember that you have to try it, it will change your life and you won't be able to go back to ugly clothing.
