25 Stupidly Simple Ways to Elevate Your Style in 2025

January 7, 2025
Welcome to the new year and my wardrobe! Today I want to discuss some stupidly simple ways to elevate and boost your style in 2025 easily.
  1. Upgrade your eyewear. A great pair of glasses is a quick and easy way to look more stylish and attractive.
  2. Sunglasses. You can look instantly stylish and sexy by wearing a great pair of shades.
  3. Upgrade your sneakers. White, clean, minimal leather sneakers with gum soles are a perfect upgrade. You can dress them up as well. Check out mine from Thursday Boots and Axel Arigato.
  4. Elevate your athleisure wear. Make sure you look good when going to the park, grabbing coffee, going to the grocery store, or hitting the gym. Whether it’s joggers, t-shirts, pullovers, or shorts, upgrade your aesthetic and the quality of your items to make you look more stylish. Some of my favorites are Lululemon, Cuts, and Vuori.
  5. Slim wallet. It’s a simple but subtle item that will make a difference. You will look more stylish when you pull a slim wallet out of your pocket instead of a big, packed wallet full of coupons, receipts, and discount cards.
  6. Watch. Wearing a proper watch (Timex, Rolex, Seiko), not an Apple Watch, is a great way to accessorize and make yourself look more stylish.
  7. Rings. It’s a quick and easy way to look more stylish instantly.
  8. Suede chukka boots. These will automatically make you look more stylish when you compare them with casual jeans, dressier jeans, nondistressed denim, cotton chinos, and even corduroys.
  9. Great fitting t-shirts. In simple black or simple white, the best option is a crew neck. It’s also versatile.
  10. Cardigan sweaters are an incredible option for layering and elevating your aesthetic with pretty much any casual outfit. They work over a simple t-shirt or tank top; you can combine them with jeans, chinos, or slacks.
  11. A lightweight Merino wool sweater looks great paired with jeans or denim. It’s made of lighter fabric, unlike a heavy chunky sweater. My favorite sweater colors are gray and black.
  12. Dark, non-destressed denim is the perfect option because it’s a bit more dressy and versatile. You can pair it with casual shoes, nice boots, and even loafers.
  13. Brown loafers are a great addition to any wardrobe because they can be styled with a suit or casually with jeans.
  14. Bomber jackets are the perfect casual jacket. I love mine from Thursday Boot. Check out the Alpha M Bomber, probably the last run we’ll do before next fall.
  15. Bag. Carrying a backpack, computer bag, or other daily item is a quick and easy way to look more stylish. Getting a quality leather product is worth it.
  16. Peacoats are a fantastic option to look badass while staying warm.
  17. A camel driving jacket is another effortless item to throw on and to be perceived as more stylish. It’s sexy.
  18. Tailor your clothes. Get rid of big and baggy. Puddling down by your ankles is not sexy, and a huge suit is not sexy. Your garments need to fit your body. Spend an extra bit of money to get your garments tailored.
  19. A crisp white dress shirt. Your dress shirt should not have pit stains and should be tailored for your body.
  20. White button-up short-sleeved oxford. With a button-down collar, this shirt is a crisp and easy way to look better in spring and summer. Pair it with some shorts, chinos, or lightweight cotton pants.
  21. White polo shirts.
  22. Black polo shirts. You cannot go wrong with either one. They should be a staple in your wardrobe. Combine the black polo with black pants, and you’ll have monochromatic sexiness.
  23. Proper-length shorts. Your shorts need to be above your knee. Do not wear them super high, however. Super short shorts are not the look you’re going for, either. Ensure they’re about 2 to 3 inches above your need to make your legs look longer and better.
  24. Swim trunks. My favorite brand is Bermies. These are fun and not super long.
  25. Take care of your body. You look stylish and better in anything you wear if you care for your body. You don’t see mannequins that are sloppy with man boobs and Dad bods. The clothes look incredible on them, so do better if you don’t like what you see.
