Trends in men’s fashion come and go, but there is a selection of timeless essentials that should be a part of every man’s wardrobe. These essential garments create the perfect look for work and play, but most importantly, never go out of style.
Essential Components of a Man’s Wardrobe
- The suit. Every man should own a black or blue suit. Nothing fancy, just a perfectly tailored two-piece garment that can be worn for a job interview or a night on the town.
- Khaki pants. The essential pair of pants, khakis are another one of those timeless wardrobe basics that can be worn to the office or out relaxing with the guys on the weekend.
- A polo shirt. A solid color polo shirt (or two) looks fantastic with jeans or khakis and can even be worn under a blazer on casual Friday at the office.
- A V-neck sweater. When the weather turns chilly, every man will want to have a comfortable v-neck sweater in his wardrobe. Be sure to pick a neutral color, or get a little adventurous and go with a pink or other bright color.
- Dress socks. When you slip on your best pair of shoes, your feet need protection. Make sure to have plenty of black, blue and brown socks on hand.
- Dress slacks. If the situation doesn’t call for a full-on formal suit you can still look sharp with a pair of black or blue pinstriped dress pants. Wear with a tie and Oxford shirt for the perfect fashion look.
- Oxford shirt. A white button-down Oxford shirt is a staple in every man’s wardrobe. These shirts go with just about everything, and look really great when custom tailored. A custom tailored Oxford may cost a little more, but the look is well worth it.
This is jus beginning of an outstanding wardrobe. Once you have the men’s fashion essentials in your wardrobe, branch out into more exciting looks and colors.
