How to Be a Refined Man

It’s important to put your best foot forward and present yourself well to the world. But that doesn’t necessarily mean dressing to the nines every time. There’s no one singular way to look refined because the “right” look will vary drastically depending on the occasion. You wouldn’t wear a suit to a summer barbeque, would you? Refinement can happen in a t-shirt just as easily as it can in a tie.

Just as there’s not one specific style for refinement, there isn’t one cut of shirt that works for every man. Getting your clothes tailored to fit your body will not only create a more polished and put-together look but will also make you feel more comfortable and at ease, elevating an outfit that would be ordinary into something extraordinary.

Being a refined man isn’t limited to how you look. Treating yourself well, while also having physical benefits, can do wonders for your mental health, confidence, and life as a whole. Give your life that extra bit of enrichment by eating well, staying active, getting enough rest, and regularly carving out time to mentally recharge.

Refinement isn’t just about how you look or what you wear. A truly refined person is one who treats others with kindness and respect. While not every situation necessarily calls for classical etiquette, it’s always important to be kind to others and make them feel comfortable. (But it also doesn’t hurt to know how to set a formal table or dance the waltz.)
