Guys Night Out: Tips on Looking Your Best Self for a Night on the Town

Having a night out on the town with your main guys is always a great way to get out there and put your best self forward. What’s great about nights out with your friends is that you can make it as low-key or extravagant as you want: we’re talking board game nights, finding the newest bar to check out, or even a mini road trip. No matter what the occasion or time of day is, you want to look your absolute best and feel confident. Don’t know where to begin? Here are a few tips to get you started!

 

Make Yourself Comfortable

When you’re going out for a fun night, consider the atmosphere around the activity you are doing. If you are hanging home for a low-key game night, you may not want to wear the most elaborate outfit. Not only do you want to look good, but feeling comfortable can boost your confidence while still rocking a fresh look.

If you are looking for an outfit more on the comfortable side, consider exploring a more vintage style. Get inspired by scrolling through popular brand websites such as Pinterest to really hone in on your personal aesthetic. A lot of brands out there have vintage looks that are affordable and chic.  Combining clothing items that you already have is also a great way to both invent a new look from your wardrobe and stay comfortable in the clothing that you already own.

 

Showing Off Your Formal Side

There will be occasions when you will want to turn your style up a notch. For example, this might be a bachelor party, a cocktail party, a housewarming get-together, or a special date night. However, be mindful as finding the perfect attire in formal wear can be a little tricky. With that said, here are some tips to keep in mind:


  • Find Your Style— Finding outfits that you see yourself in seems easy, but be sure that you feel confident in the outfits you choose. Even with semi-formal and formal wear, you can mix and match to see what fits your look and the style of the venue.

  • Choose for the Season—Summer is almost coming to an end, and that means you can break out the fall attire as well as look into finding colors that relate to fall. Colors with earthy tones are versatile and sure to fit into any look. When searching for attire, be mindful of the outfit as a whole and be sure it complements the entire look.

  • Good Finds for Date Night— Choosing what you want to wear for a guy’s night is equally as important as finding the right outfit for date night. Whatever outfits you put together for date night can also be converted to a formal look by adding or taking away a piece or two. Keep this tip in mind as you are shopping as you can save yourself some time and money. Above all else, be yourself in what you choose with your look. Your unique taste and style are the perfect touch to perfect an outfit.

    Keep Yourself Groomed to Perfection

     Now that we've discussed tips for finding the perfect attire, it’s time to focus on keeping yourself well groomed because that’s just as important! When it comes to the hair on your head as well as facial hair, you want to be sure it’s not only clean but looks appealing to the eye. Here are some tips to consider:

    How to keep on top of your grooming
    • The hair on your head, as well as your facial hair, need the same amount of TLC. One good way to take care of your hair is to be sure the products you use are natural and organic. Organic and natural products are good to use for any kind of hair texture, whereas the ingredients from popular brands can make your hair look dehydrated, such as dimethicone.  
    • Look into styles that will reflect a natural look and that will fit your face shape.
    • Another great habit to keep in mind is to schedule regular haircuts and beard trims to maintain a hair pattern and help keep your health intact. 
    • When it comes to hair maintenance from a health standpoint, it’s possible to experience hair loss due to genetics, stress, and other reasons. Keep in mind that it’s best to stay proactive and consider hair growth products to maintain healthy hair.
    • Grooming is very beneficial, but good hygiene is right up there too! In order to feel clean, you must stay clean; wash regularly, and take the time to be thorough in your cleaning habits. Look into using cologne and body wash with a scent that you think best fits your personality.

     

    Go Have Fun

    Now that you’ve been given helpful tips on how you can look your absolute best and feel confident no matter the occasion, have fun perfecting your own unique style! Not only will you enjoy yourself and your fresh look, but you may even inspire your guy friends to follow in these steps.
