Men’s wardrobe essentials
When it comes to building a functional wardrobe, the first thing a guy must do is assess his lifestyle.
Here are the items every man must have in his wardrobe:
1. A suit (navy or gray)
Even if you don’t need to wear a suit every day, you must have at least one suit in your wardrobe. Navy or gray suits are classic and neutral and can be dressed up or down. You can even wear the blazer with khakis or jeans.
2. Black shoes and belt
These can be worn with khakis, jeans and your suit. Black is a classic color and goes well with almost anything.
3. White dress shirt
White dress shirts are versatile and good for day and night occasions, but should not be worn as a casual shirt.
4. Solid tie
Solid ties are easy and versatile. If solid isn’t for you, choose a classic diagonal stripe.
5. Blue blazer
A blue blazer is perfect for all year round and easily coordinates with khakis and other items.
6. Khakis and jeans
Jeans and khakis are a staple of a man’s wardrobe. Every man must have these pieces in his closet.
7. Overcoat
An overcoat doesn’t necessarily mean a long coat. This item really finishes an outfit and can be worn with everything including jeans.
8. Briefcase
A briefcase does not necessarily mean a hard case. It can be soft, or messenger bag style. It’s a great accessory for men to carry their belongings.
9. Athletic wear
Even if you are not an athletic type, athletic wear is great for those lazy Sundays or going for a walk.
10. Casual shirt
A casual shirt like a polo or button down is a must have with jeans or other casual pants.
Start simple and expand according to your lifestyle. Buy clothes that coordinate with your wardrobe, make you feel confident and fit your style.
