How to Look Handsome

Every guy wants to look more handsome and attractive. No matter your genetics, this is entirely possible! In fact, there are a few tips and hacks for how to look handsome that can work for any guy.

As a guy who writes about men’s fashion, grooming and style, I have some insider tips to share with you.

In this post you’ll get actionable tips and things you can do to look more handsome – and most of them are easier than you’d think.

10 Ways to Look More Attractive

1. Get a Haircut Regularly

Getting a haircut on a regular basis will instantly make you look more attractive. Most people wait too long before getting their hair cut. Keeping the sides and back of your hair well groomed will make a big difference.

Depending on how fast your hair grows, getting your haircut every 2-3 weeks is a good idea.

Choosing the right haircut is equally as important. When you go to see your barber, it’s a good idea to discuss what haircut will look good on your head.

Everyone has a different head shape, with different types of hair and hair growth patterns. What looks good on someone else, may not suit you.

Getting the right hair style can transform your face and make you look more handsome.

If you have a beard, get it trimmed at the barber. A good barber will be able to fade your beard into your haircut which looks really good.

The more frequently you use the same barber, the better. Once your barber gets to know you, he will see how your hair grows and what haircut will suit you best.

2. Have Good Hygiene

Having good hygiene is a key part to looking more handsome. You will appear more attractive if you take care of yourself and have good hygiene.

Here is a list of things that you can do to improve your hygiene:

Shower daily
Wear deodorant
Wash your face
Trim your nails
Trim your nose hairs
Clean your ears
Brush your teeth before leaving the house
Floss
Use mouthwash
Do your hair
Wear cologne

Doing your hair daily and wearing cologne aren’t things that every guy does. However, by doing these things you’ll look and feel instantly more attractive!

Good hygiene has nothing to do with looks and is something everyone can control. Hygiene isn’t about spending money, it’s about spending time. Having good hygiene can make any guy look more handsome.

Now this may seem like a lot, but it really is manageable once it becomes a habit. If you follow these steps, your hygiene will be on point.

3. Take Care of Your Skin

Having a proper skin care routine has many benefits. Not only will your skin look good now, but as you get older your skin will age better. Having a daily skin care routine can work wonders.

Many guys struggle with acne when younger and wrinkles as they age. There are plenty of useful skin care products out there that can help your skin look clean, but also add moisture as needed for your skin type.

In reality, looking handsome has a lot to do with the way your face looks. Having good skin will play a big role in looking more handsome.

4. Wear Proper Fitting Clothes

Since we all have different body types, it’s important to find clothing that fits properly. For example, if you’re a skinny guy, avoid overly tight shirts and pants as it will highlight your thin frame.

A mistake that many guys make, is buying clothes without trying them on. Something that looks nice on a mannequin, may not look nice on your body.

As guys, we never think of getting our clothing tailored, unless maybe a suit. If you have trouble finding jeans that fit you properly, consider getting them tailored so they fit the way you like.

It’s important that you’re comfortable and you feel good in the clothing that you wear. It may sound cheesy, but “look good, feel good” is a real thing. Dressing well will give you a major confidence boost.

5. Have a Unique Style

Nowadays, it seems like everyone dresses the same way. However, having a unique style will make you stand out from the rest.

Wearing a different style of sunglasses, a unique shirt, or a colorful pair of shoes is a great way to have your own style. Your style is a great way to express yourself.

If you develop your own personal style you will appear more interesting and attractive.

6. Pay Attention to Detail

A great way to look more handsome is to pay attention to the little details when you are choosing your outfit. As guys, we make tons of fashion mistakes without even realizing it.

To start, make sure that your colors don’t clash. If you’re wearing blue jeans, don’t wear a blue shirt. These little details can ruin a whole outfit and it’s important to wear clothes that goes well together.

Something that many guys overlook is there socks and sock color. If you are wearing white shoes, wear white socks as wearing black socks will throw off the look of the shoe.

If you’re dressing up in a suit, match your belt color with the color of your dress shoes. Wear brown shoes with a brown belt or black shoes with a black belt.

Paying attention to those little details that can make or break your outfit. These are some fashion mistakes to avoid.

7. Wear Accessories

It may not seem like a big deal, but wearing accessories will make you look more attractive. Wearing a watch, rings or a necklace is a great way to elevate your style.

Personally, I always wear a watch when I wear a nice outfit as it adds an extra layer of depth to my outfit. Rings are also very popular and a great way to level up your outfit.

8. Fix Your Posture

Nowadays, many of us guys work behind the computer. This has made bad posture super common. Having bad posture can result in back pain, and also make you look shorter and more sloppy.

Having bad posture is something I personally deal with and I’ve had to find ways to improve my posture. When sitting down, make sure you are sitting straight and do not cross your legs.

When standing up, always remind yourself to stand up straight with your chest out and your shoulders back. Getting in the habit of having good posture will do wonders for your back and you will appear more handsome.

Good posture, will make you look taller, stronger and more confident. This plays a big role in looking more handsome.

9. Work Out

Working out does not only make your body look better, but it also has many health benefits. As you get older, it becomes harder to work out so there’s no better time to start than now.

Depending on your body type, it’s a good idea to set some fitness goals and work towards them. If you are bigger, focus on cardio exercises and losing weight.

If you’re smaller, focus on eating more and lifting weight. At one time, I was tall and skinny with no muscle. After focusing on gaining weight and putting on muscle, I have gained 20 pounds in the last year.

Working out will give you more confidence and make you feel like the best version of yourself. If you don’t go to the gym, here are some exercises you can do from home:

Wall-sit
Plank
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Leg raises
Burpees
Squats
Walking lunges

If you’re intimidated by the gym or not sure where to start, consider trying a personal trainer. I was always insecure when going to the gym, until I started working with a personal trainer and this has made a big difference.

10. Be Confident

If you have confidence in yourself, others will find you more attractive. Confidence really is key and when a guy isn’t confident it is very noticeable.

If you’re comfortable in your own skin, dress well and do some exercises, there is no reason to not be confident.

Having a skin care routine, nice hair and dressing well, will make any guy look handsome. Putting a bit more effort into the way you dress will make you appear more attractive and handsome. Having good hygiene, and being confident will turn any guy into a handsome man.
