Habits of well-groomed men

We are judged by the way we look. Even if you are a top executive in a bank or you are making tons of money as an entrepreneur, if you are dressed shabbily -food stains on your clothes, rumpled shirts, mouth odour and with two days’ stubble on your face -you will be judged accordingly. To avoid creating wrong impressions, form the right grooming habits. Here are a few grooming tips for that man that is finicky about his overall appearance.

Get in the shower

This the basic step to staying clean and smelling good even without any cologne. Whether you’ve just come back from the gym, woken up or going for a party, a shower is necessary.

Keep hands clean always

Hands play important role in business meetings because of the importance of a handshake. Cut and file your nails regularly and also make sure that they don’t habour any residue of food or dirt. Keep a nail clipper, file and other items you may need for a good manicure handy. Wash your hands frequently because smelly and sweaty hands are the biggest turn off. Also use a bit of hand lotion on them to prevent your hands from getting too tough.

Brush your teeth twice daily

It goes without saying that keeping a good oral habit will endear to the hearts of everyone you meet. It keeps mouth odour and plague away.

Manage excess hair

Since hair grows regularly, you have to always keep a check on when your ear, nose, chest hair needs a trim. It’s best to trim hair from these parts at least once a week.

Shave regularly

If you sport a beard or a mustache, then make sure it is trimmed neatly and has no stray hairs sticking out in multiple directions.

Sense of style

Clothes that fit well and which are clean, neatly ironed and smell good are very important. Don’t recycle clothes that have been chucked into your laundry basket because you have run out of clean, ironed clothes. The fit also is very important to keep looking good. It’s no use wearing expensive shirts and branded trousers if you’ve got the wrong fit.

Shiny shoes

Men are judged by their shoes. If you don’t know this yet, you’ve obviously no idea about the typical standards used to judge men. If you are wearing formal shoes, make sure they’re not scuffed and dirty. They should be polished and shiny. Casual shoes should also be clean and avoid tattered shoes at all costs!

Smell good all the time

Don’t go overboard and douse yourself with strong fragrance after using strong smelling toiletries. Pick one cologne and stick with it. Don’t ever go cheap when buying perfume. Not only may it react badly with your skin, it can also never smell as good as the original.
