I'd like to see more men keep up with trends and update their looks once in awhile. I know so many (and I've read so many posts here) from men who are "manly men" and they don't want to be associated with anything metrosexual or gay [8|] (which is completely stupid) and so they're wearing the same styles they were wearing when they got out of college. Sadly, for many of them that was 15-30 years ago.
In college, or at least during high school and college ages, you more likely than not dressed like your peers. Which means your look was more than likely fashionable for the time. Men tend to stay in that time period throughout their 20s, 30s and sometimes, yuckily, their 40s and beyond.
They complain that men get married and their wives want to "fix them up." Actually, your wife has probably decided that you don't know how to dress yourself according to what's available this decade and she is helping you update your look.
Hygiene is about making sure you shower, use deodorant, brush your teeth, etc. All of this has to do with grooming. If you have had the same hairstyle more than 10 years, maybe five, then you need to update. If you are wearing the same clothes you were wearing 10 years ago, you need to update. You will feel better about yourself, people will approach you differently, women will definitely look at you differently, I promise you.
My wardrobe is regularly updated as my old clothes regularly get worn out in the washer and dryer. My existing apparel is 2-4 years old. My haircut is reasonably current, not the top style but looks acceptable.
