Fashion is usually the concern of women...at least that is the way it has been for more than a hundred years, up until the beginning of the noughties. Now, men are increasingly concerned with their appearance, wanting to look good and keep up with fashion trends just as much as women. When it comes to men's clothing, every man should own a few basic essentials.
Here, we will discuss each item at length. Therefore, if you are a man, and you want to look good, but do not know where to start, this article will help you.
Black Brogues
An essential item of men's clothing that should feature in every wardrobe. These versatile shoes match almost any outfit, teamed with jeans, chinos, suits, etc they look great. They are the perfect shoe for men who are scared of making fashion faux pas because you just cannot go wrong with them - the only exception to the rule is never to wear them with shorts.
Plain White Shirt
Whether you opt for a t-shirt style, or a traditional dress shirt style, the plain white shirt is the staple item of men's clothing that should pertain to any collection of fashionable clothes. Strictly speaking, you should have both a plain white t-shirt and a plain white dress shirt - each can match with almost any type of outfit: suits, jeans, shorts, chinos...the list is endless.
A pair of Dark Blue Jeans
A pair of jeans should be an essential feature of any men's clothing, thy form part of the classic look and as such are suited to many occasions; from casual to semi-formal a dark pair of jeans is essential. Other colours, such as stonewash, can be harder to match with other items of clothing, and beyond that are strictly a colour for casual settings.
A Grey Jumper
Opt for a v-neck design as this makes layering easier to accomplish. Grey is quite neutral and therefore matches many other designs; from graphic print tees, to stripped vests, a grey jumper will suit. Opt for a material other than a sweatshirt fabric - this is normally only appropriate in a casual setting and not be worn when trying to convey an air of sophistication.
A Grey Suit
Ask any woman which colour suit they find most attractive, and they are sure to respond with grey. Opt for a softer shade of grey, but not too light. Grey is the best colour to wear as a suit because it can be paired with practically any colour and looks well blended, what we mean is, say, for instance you wore a black suit and red shirt, the contrast would be immense, with grey, regardless of the contrast, the difference is subtle.
These five items are necessary have feature of any fashionable man's wardrobe. Moreover, if you are a man, just embarking on your journey to fashion greatness, they are the best place to start.
