Best Fashion Tips for Male Models
The tough requirements to be met for male models may be perhaps one major
deterrent. Fret not as we espouse some major Fashion tips that will prove
highly useful.
Skincare
Something that all men are probably guilty of
is not looking after their skin, and even worse, believing that it’s only a
female thing. Well, FYI if you want to become a model, you need to start
looking appealing, and skin care plays an indispensable role in this endeavor.
Top Male model David Gandy reveals in an
interview that one of his secrets is skin care in three simple steps, which are
to exfoliate, using serum and moisturizer. Three simple, yet powerful and
effective steps which models and males who wish to look good should religiously
follow. If you have five minutes to brush your teeth, then you have five
minutes to care for your skin. Your future self will thank you for it.
For exfoliating there are plenty of natural
ways to do that, else any dermatologically tested exfoliant will work fine.
Next in choosing a serum, make sure you are using a water-based serum which is
thin enough to seep into your skin and stay below your moisturizing cream. The
serum is a concentrated mixture of active ingredients that will effectively
target and remove any skin concerns. Lastly, models will swear by the benefits
of a moisturizer. For dry skin and humid weather conditions (Think of an
outdoor shoot with thick clothing) this can dramatically impact the skin
structure. Using a moisturizer prevents the drying of skin, reduces wrinkles
and reduces the aging effect.
Pay
attention to your accessories
Also, another advice from Gandy is to wear
the perfect accessories. Unlike the plethora of accessories that women can
wear, with various colored styles, men don’t have the extravagance of many
accessories. So we have to wear what we can to perfection. Our shoes, watch,
ties and fragrance are all the accessories that we need to invest in well so as
to create the best look we can. This is a good tip for all males let alone
models.
Exercise
Male models need not be bulked up like the hulk, but
there is a need to be toned and fit. You don’t have to be grinding at the gym,
but you have to be doing your cardio workout and spending time on light weights
to tone the shape of your muscles.
Confidence
The saying when you look good you feel good,
works the other way round too. Confidence for men is non-negotiable. Male models, especially those who show
off more of their skin, are usually employed not just because they look good promoting
a men’s line of clothing or product, but also because clients want to associate
their products to strength and confidence. As a male model, your body posture
and facial features should thus tally accordingly.
Male models should work on their looks, skin
and confidence just as hard as their female counterparts to have more
successful male models in the industry. By following our tips and working hard
enough, the standards of male modeling can only go one way, up!
