Top grooming tips: Our guide to looking dapper

Gentlemen, the date for taking pride in your appearance has been set. With International Men’s Grooming Day fast approaching – it’s on the 21st August, for those who are unaware – we bring you our simple Frank Wright top tips for getting your masculine appeal in tip top condition…

Eyebrows frame your face and, if left to grow overly unruly, can be one of the biggest giveaways as to whether or not you take pride in your personal appearance. By no means are we suggesting that you pluck your eyebrows into a feminine arch here: simply remove any signs of a monobrow, and pluck stray hairs from the under-section of your eyebrows if they resemble caterpillars.

Whilst a beard can be a handsome addition to your autumnal rugged appeal, preventing it from growing past your Adam’s apple is generally a good call if you want to retain some visible structure to your jawline. Invest in a beard trimmer if you trust yourself with this task; if not, simply ask your barber to help you out as this is a service that they will provide.

With your hands being on show when you meet and greet people, unkempt nails are a surefire way to come across as being indifferent to your appearance. Keep your hands looking tidy simply by trimming your fingernails with nail clippers regularly: preferably do this before you starts to resemble Edward Scissorhands, too.

Your skin says a lot about you: to stay fresh faced, cleanse daily with a face wash (yes, you can buy face wash that looks masculine) and avoid dry, flakey skin by moisturising regularly with a cream which is specifically designed for more delicate facial skin. Don’t use body moisturiser on your face, as this could result in your skin becoming oily or breaking out in spots!

Plain and simple: if your hair looks like it needs a good cut or a good brush, a trip to the barbers is definitely required, unless you want to end up looking like a caveman. Use products such as styling gel to give your hair extra texture if you want to go all out and create hair-envy with your man-do.

So there you have it: five simple Frank Wright tips to ensure that you look spruce this International Men’s Grooming Day – and every other day of the year!
