The hubs and I have been together for nearly 14 years, and I have yet to get the “buying him clothes” thing right.  And, if you’re anything like me, you could use all the help you can get in that department.

The following post is a guest post from Robert over at Stylepilot, a men’s fashion directory, displaying a large collection of mens clothing items from all the leading brands. It’s all about how to pick out clothes for the man in your life.

Whether your partner has great taste in fashion or is in need of a wardrobe renovation, buying clothes for him can still be exceptionally difficult. We looked at the things you need to do in order to pick out great fashion gifts for your man, and take the stress away from shopping for him.

Discover His Style DNA

This sounds awfully complicated, but don’t worry, there is no need for you to be taking swabs of saliva from your partner’s mouth or trying to come up with a sneaky way of taking blood such as in the film Face/Off.

Instead of getting scientific, this process is relatively simple. Find yourself an online outfit building site which will ask you for various factors such as your partner’s height, build, and complexion, and be presented with the styles and fits that are great for him.

In a few clicks of a mouse, you will immediately be taking away any problems you have historically had when shopping for your man, and also be assured that the stylish garments you are buying him are 100% up his street. Your man’s style could not get any closer to being personalized unless he headed off to a tailor himself and had his clothes custom made.

What to Buy

When you get around to what you are actually going to buy, you simply need to think about your man’s need for clothes, and whether or not there is an upcoming occasion that you are looking to buy for.

If you are looking to make additions to his everyday wardrobe, then simple casual styling options such as check shirts, denim, and chinos are all great ideas. If you are buying him something functional for the winter then have your eye on a warm, weatherproof coat that will keep him dry and stylish throughout the harsher months.

Alternatively, you may wish to buy something for him to wear to work, perhaps a new suit or some stylish shirt and tie combinations, or other smart clothing for him to wear at seasonal parties. Christmas is on the way so a smart wardrobe will prove to be extra important in the months ahead!

Keeping it Simple

If you want to have the biggest impact with your fashion gift purchases, then it is always advisable to keep it simple. Do not try and carry out a complete overhaul of your man’s style – if he is already well dressed then buy him additional tasteful items that will build up his look and leave him looking smart and stylish at all times.
