The Fashion Essentials
In the name of simplicity, we want to make a Man’s List of Fashion Essentials. We are going to sidestep the fashion rules and regulations and get straight to the good stuff. We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the items that every modern man should own. Yes, that means you too.
The White Dress Shirt
The white dress shirt is the quintessential fashion item. There are no if, ands or buts – the white dress shirt is must have for every man. It’s the perfect basic that should be worn with everything. It plays nice and pretty with anything and everything. In fact, we suggest owning a least five.
The Suit
Everyman should have a minimum of one suit that is a perfect fit. That suit should be in black or charcoal grey for maximum style and versatility. Even if you pride yourself on your casual dress aesthetic, occasions are always going to arise where you need a suit. Keep it simple and always have that suit in the closet ready to go.
The Watch
The one must have accessory for every man is the watch. It’s the accessory of all accessories that shows off sentimentality, masculinity and all around good fashion sense. And it just happens to be quite useful.
The Tie
Neckties are an essential accessory that should showcase your own personal flair through color, pattern and style. Whether you like solid color ties, paisleys or plaids, you should always have an assortment of ties on hand to pair with a suit or sports coat. We might be bias, but we recommend that every man own a blue striped tie because it is timeless, versatile and complimentary to all body shapes.
The Shoes
Everyman should own a pair of brown wingtips. The fashionable shoe offers foundation and style to every ensemble. There are a million shoe options out there, but the wingtips are an essential choice because they are wearable and instantly enhance any look.
