Some items in your closet need special place and regular update; these are must-have pieces you wardrobe wont run without. Lets us browse these core elements of men’s fashion.
Loafers
I am not talking about those lazy idlers on the streets. Loafers are men’s best slip-on shoes ,so far. Nothing to worry about these guys. They always bide time waiting for your soft gentle feet to slip into them. Style, comfort and coordination with any fashionable outfit; what else could you ask for from this submissive footwear?
Loafers bestow ease and freedom to the wearer. One never has to worry about lacing up them- require less maintenance- offer more miles.
Loafers have been aging with mankind. Started their evolution from the streets of London. Loafers are now stamping their chronicles with every step men take. Loafers are constitutive of universal style.
I could have gone on and on singing the praises of loafers but few facts seem reasonable for now.
So fill those empty spaces in your shoe rack with at least 2 pairs of loafer shoes [if your budget allows else one pair, but add the second pair when you get money].
Blue Denim
You must have guessed that was coming, blue denim is the heartbeat of your interchangeable wardrobe. No casual and semi-formal outfit can ban blue denim except a complete formal outfit.
Versatility of denim goes beyond cultures, body type, current fashion etc. Sport blue denim with a simple white shirt or a polo t shirt.
Combine it with any type of boot, i.e. Chelsea boots, dress boots or casual boots. Pair denim with a variety of other formal and semi-formal shoes such as oxfords, brogues even monk straps it rocks with everything you put on.
All types of jackets including suit jacket, sport jacket, leather jacket and jean jacket a blue denim can collaborate any garment that you wear over a shirt or t shirt.
For over a century denims have ruled current fashion. They suit every man’s style and taste.
When you run out of choices denim give you extra new options to explore your personal style.
Black Toe-cap Oxfords
Whenever oxford shoes are mentioned most serious events come to mind. Yes, these elegant shoes are designed to be in every man’s wardrobe. They match with any attire from simple Polo-Chino pair to business-professional dress-code.
Toe-cap may be opted if you like to wear more conservative look in most events. Always have them with pointed front to keep their elegance.
Being one of the oldest and everlasting footwear oxfords still come with slight detailing and closed lacing closure. Nothing has changed about them in decades except that with modern fashion oxfords are stand proudly in the ranks of dress shoes.
Leather Jacket
What is another way of looking dynamic and might other than wearing a classic leather jacket? It is almost a complete outerwear. A heavy duty superior quality leather jacket must last you 15-20 years.
It’s a timeless piece of potent clothing that always stands out in the crowd and gives you a distinctive strong look.
A leather jacket offers sundry options for you. Wearing leather jacket can project a simple tasteless man as a trendy stylish man.
For the aggressive and impassioned men leather jacket is a serious deal.
Leather jackets come in a wide variety and can be worn over almost any clothing. More reasons why a leather jacket is time-honoured piece.
- Mankind has been wearing animal skin for centuries.
- Over the ages leather has evolved to become a wardrobe staple for men and women. Especially in jackets.
- The sublime texture and natural feel of the leather.
- Its ability to face the elements.
- Sheen on the leather surface makes you feel it belongs to you.
- Leather appears rugged and tough; it imparts you a commanding image.
- A man looks conspicuously handsome and confident.
White Shirt
White is plain; plain is powerful; therefore white is powerful. I wish every man could understand the influence of a simple white shirt. What can’t be said about it?
One pristine piece of white shirt with rolled up sleeves, when paired with denim becomes cool casual attire. A basic white shirt with a black suit and black tie makes the presidential uniform.
Salt in food makes it tasty; white shirt in the clothing makes you tasteful.
Weather friendly
You want to go out in the beating sun. Which colour shirt will keep you cool during your trip to the market? White catches no heat and channels cool wafts through your body.
Most formal
White shirt is the most formal of all shirts. If any outfit has to be most formal it must include a white shirt. A dinner suit or tuxedo event calls for a white dress shirt.
- Quality of pairing with almost all wears, nearly all colours
- White shirt never fails you when you want to team it with any outerwear or trousers.
- In fact all the accessories covering neckties, pocket squares, belts, watches with most colours, textures and patterns look outstanding with a white shirt.
A navy or grey or khaki suit with white shirt looks very elegant.
Round Neck T-Shirt
Since the fashion penetrated man’s nerves a round neck t shirt has been an inbred element of his apparel collection. Black and white exclusively.
Born as a dead casual item it is perfect for any age. Something unique about a crew neck is that it showcases youthfulness and grants you extra ten years of life.
Round neck T-shirt and denim are a perfect team of clothing. Add a leather or denim jacket over and slip into a pair of black or brown boots. What a great rocking combo!!
If you are a sporty dude crew neck will serve you best.
Khaki Shorts
Shorts are man’s best friend. When it’s time to chill at a swimming pool or be jolly with your wife and kids shorts are easy to pull on. T shirts, shirts or polo shirts anything would look fancy with shorts.
Almost half in size to trousers, shorts are good for a modest look. They are especially good for summer time, cycling, work out sessions and domestic work when you are not in mood to do much and wish to unwind.
Shorts can look trendy with boat shoes or loafers with a polo shirt on. One can always add belts when wearing shorts with polo shirt or plain white shirts.
Black Leather Belt
From securing your pants to adding elegance to the outfit a simple black leather belt is more than an accessory. It’s a style demonstration. Wearing a belt proves you recognize yourself; legalize your dress sense with accessory sense.
As I always say ‘simple is powerful’. A black belt is the first accessory you should own in two at least with varying buckle design.
How is a belt an indispensable element of your wardrobe?
- A nice black belt matches with most basic colours in any gentleman’s wardrobe.
- No sooner do you add a belt to your trousers it assigns a character to the whole outfit.
- A belt is capable enough to make you look taller, shorter or proportional.
- It adds few millimeters to your waist if you are a slim guy.
- It acts as a joining line between upper and lower body and accentuates the physique.
A Grey Sport Coat
A grey sport coat either plain or textured is a standard wardrobe piece. Sport coat is generally considered suitable for casual to business casual outfits. A grey sport coat is a multi-dimensional garment which blends well with denim and T-shirt pair; it is also a nice layer with shirt, slacks and khaki pants.
- Get a fit grey coat cut sharply around waist for a trendy look.
- Grey Sport Coat also accents many tie colours and patterns so you can have one coat for many different occasion.
- Grey complements black shoes in formal context and tan in casual setting.
- Grey Sport Jacket also works with loafers , sneakers in smart casual ensemble.
- You can wear a grey sport coat to casual Fridays with khaki trousers or navy denim.
- Throw on your grey coat over a black V-neck for a more casual fashion at night-arties.
- Grey is versatile colour, it is fun as well as serious colour according the occasion but always looks suave.
- Grey blazer can be teamed with shorts outfit for overly casual events with friends.
White Square
It is an essential. You should always have a white pocket square. White is chic and most formal. Get a silk white square if you can. You can wear it with black, navy, brown, charcoal suits and the best fold would be a simple square fold.
Plain yet powerful white square can be accessorized for different occasions from fun to serious business look. With casual sports jacket wear a casual fold for a fabulous impression.
Dress Watch
I think a man with basic watch on his wrist appears more fetching than a man with a costly watch. It is hard to figure out why you should invest fortune in watches.
Have a basic white or dark-blue dial watch with leather band; no decorations. It makes a unique impression on others and shows that you wear a good watch to stay punctual which is the primary purpose of it.
