Lives in Helsinki Valtteri Rantanen, 26, says that he can no longer walk down the street without at least someone saying hello. Often he is also asked the following: “Is this a style mistake?”

The phrase in question goes back to maintaining the man To Tiktok accountwhere he largely focuses on sharing information related to style mok.

Rantanen started the account about two years ago when he noticed that there were no accounts related to men’s style. On his Tiktok account, he has mainly focused on style mockups made by men.

The five worst style mistakes

Let’s get to the thing he likes to talk about the most, that is, the style mockup. Below you will find the five worst style mistakes that Tiktok’s style expert can fall into.

1. Not daring to be yourself

Rantanen says that the worst style mistake is not daring to be yourself.

– If you like your own mirror image, but still give too much weight to the opinions of others, it’s a style mistake, the style expert begins.

– If someone else thinks your own style is not cool and you take it as your cue, you care too much about other people’s opinions, he adds.

2. Poor hygiene and shabby clothes

It is a style failure if the clothes smell bad or are fluffy, wrinkled and wrinkled. Air, wash, iron and maintain clothes whenever necessary.

3. Not dressing appropriately for the occasion

According to Tiktok’s style expert, it is extremely important to dress appropriately for the occasion. If you don’t do this, it’s obviously a style mistake.

– You can only make a first impression once, so you should invest in your own look and dress appropriately for the occasion.

According to Rantanen, it’s better to go to the store dressed in sweatpants and Crocs than, for example, in a suit.

In his opinion, it is also overdoing it if you wear, for example, a suit instead of a casual outfit for a first date.

4. Does not consider the whole

Rantanen likes to look at well-dressed people around him. It’s surprisingly rare to see men with a stylish outfit.

According to the man, one thing often catches the eye and that is the fact that the pieces of clothing do not match each other.

Often, far too many different colors are used in the same look, which in the worst case do not harmonize at all.

Sometimes just the wrong color socks can ruin everything.

5. Follow too many trends

According to Rantanen, it is a style mistake to follow trends too much and spend large amounts of money on them. Trends come and go, so it’s not worth joining every one of them.

Going along with trends is appropriate to certain extents. Rantanen also acts like this from time to time.

However, a person with a genuine sense of style focuses more on timeless pieces of clothing and builds them into wholes that suit them.

– It’s a style mistake to seek the approval of others, for example by buying really expensive clothes with big brand logos. The price tag has nothing to do with elegance, and no one cares how much your clothes cost, he sums up.
