Picking the right outfit is only half the battle.
The importance of hygiene cannot be stressed enough. Not only for people around you, but more importantly for your personal health and well-being.
Here are five grooming tips to ensure your ‘drip’ is 100 percent every day.
Keep your nails trim
Having long nails serves no important function. Unless as a man you plan to paint your nails, long nails aren’t aesthetically pleasing either.
So keep your finger and toe nails low at all times so avoid dirt and bacteria from gathering under.
Keep your hair neat
Regardless of your preferred hairdo, it’s important you keep your hair tidy.
For low cuts, visit your barber at least once in 2 weeks. If you have an afro, always remember to comb your hair every day and oil regularly.
Find your style and build on it
You don’t need to be a millionaire to be fashionable.
Know what you’re looking for and find a cheaper alternative but if you insist on the finer things in life and you can afford it, then why not. Investing in yourself is never the wrong move.

Always use deodorant
Buying deodorant should always be a priority. It goes without saying that offensive body odour is a major turnoff to both men and women.
Smelling good will boost your confidence.
Brush and floss
Oral hygiene is important because unless you’re a recluse, you will talk to people every day.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Do it when you wake in the morning and immediately before bed as the mouth is prone to bacteria.
Always have a packet of floss nearby, to reach the spots your toothbrush can’t.
