How to acquire a "rugged look"?

That just makes you seem like a big baby. You need to lean out a big, have a large, square jaw, grow slight facial hair (not heavy, or else you'll pass into "dirty" territory), and carry yourself like you have some "cajones." The rest is commentary. i -- Martin Shuster / martin dot shuster at yale dot edu |

Obviously, the man needs to be in shape to look rugged, but therei s something beyond that that I am having difficulty capturing. So, what is it that constitutes a "rugged look", and how would one go towards such an appearance. i A couple of quick thoughts -- strictly my perceptions he - relatively low bodyfat - a reasonable level of muscularity -- not necessary lots, but some visible muscle is needed - skin that looks a little weathered and tan rather than smooth and white -- the man needs to look like he spends time outdoors Beyond these are, I think, some issues of style -- haircut and clothing choices. Clothes should be appropriate to the situation but shouldn't look too studied and "careful" -- the man should wear the clothes rather than the clothes wearing the man. And the clothes should fit well -- not too loose or too tight -- and shouldn't be "girly". If the hair isn't too thin, a little length is good, but not below the collar -- and it shouldn't be too carefully combed into place or slicked down. If the man doesn't have a lot of hair, shorter is better, without weird combing to cover up bald spots. Also important, and even harder to define, is the man's bearing. Posture, walk, and manner must convey an easy self-confidence. They should be free rather than contained, but not sloppy. They should project energy and ease. Anyway, opinions will obviously differ :-) Chris |

I don't think you necessarily have to be in shape (whatever that means) to have a rugged look (according to my view of that term), but you definitely need some muscle mass, mainly upper body, too. Muscular arms, shoulders, help a lot. You can have a gut and still look rugged, but you need to have a bit of attitude and an air of confidence....if you look like you can open a can of whoop ass on someone, that helps... |
