How to Makeover Your Man

Makeover Your Man  with an Extreme Makeover Fit for a King

Your man’s style needs a little tender loving care. And you’ve decided to help him transition from regular to regal.

Before you criticize his lack of fashion sense, consider giving him a gentleman’s extreme makeover.

A simple haircut, a little pampering and a wardrobe overhaul can convert your guy from fashion victim to style emperor.

If you follow these 7 simple steps you can “makeover your man” in 24 hours and add a little metrosexual magic into his daily dressing rituals.

Makeover your Man Tip #1 -Use timing to your advantage

Does the man in your life have a job interview or an upcoming promotion? Is there a special occasion: wedding, graduation or class reunion scheduled in his future?

Plan the makeover session around a key event in the man’s life. He’ll be more inclined to receive your style suggestions positively, rather than you mentioning to him sarcastically that his clothes look funny.

Makeover your Man Tip #2 - Determine his style type

Is he rugged and outdoorsy, or conservative and preppy? Is your man athletic and sporty or is he a little rock star mixed in with heavy metal?

If you want to succeed in this extreme man makeover, polish his current style rather than change his preferences.

Converting Weird Al Yankovich to Brad Pitt would require an exhaustive mind-numbing man makeover session that would necessitate the entire staff of TLC’s What Not to Wear, and a miracle to execute.

Makeover your Man Tip #3 -Compliment the good clothes before you condemn the bad

No man wants to hear that he looks terrible, even if it’s true. Identify several great attributes: his nice hair, great physique, awesome smile, etc.

Shower him with your love and admiration before you tell him to throw away the polyester bell-bottoms and the platform shoes.

Makeover your Man Tip #4 – Assess his current wardrobe

Unless your guy is stuck in a time warp, there’s no need to throw everything out of his closet in one sitting. Act as his personal fashion editor and identify the items to keep and the ones to discard.

Donate the outdated items to Goodwill or a homeless shelter to keep the good karma flowing.

Makeover your Man Tip #5 Use a bribe if it is necessary to complete the man makeover

Because you devour the style edicts dispensed from your favorite fashion magazines, spend endless hours in the hair, and nail salons, you feel empowered to pass on some fabulous style and grooming knowledge to that special man in your life.

Makeover your Man Tip #6 - Suggest a small at-home spa treatment to bond with your man before the haircut and shopping portion of the man makeover.

If he declines the manicure and pedicure because he thinks it is too feminine, suggest a body massage as a reward upon completion of the shopping expedition.

Makeover your Man Tip #7 -Schedule a haircut and a shave

No sense in buying great clothes without giving your man’s face and hair a little pampering: A new haircut and a shave is a mandatory procedure for any extreme man makeover.

Don’t skip this step. His confidence will be high after the barber shop adventure.

Makeover your Man Tip #8- Take him on a fashion field trip

The last step of the extreme man makeover requires a trip to your favorite department store. Help him select three familiar wardrobe items: a pair of jeans, dress slacks and a collared casual shirt – to help him adjust to the final phase of the makeover session.

Once he’s comfortable with these items, ask the salesperson to select a suit to help him ease into this style upgrade effortlessly.

An extreme man makeover is a process.

It’s not a quick fix to be completed fast or without lots of love and care. With these image overhaul and pampering pointers, you can help your man not only look stylishly regal, but make him feel like a king too.
