7 staple items for every man
Fashion changes over time and we constantly have to update our wardrobes with the latest items.
Each year trend departments in large companies forecast what materials, prints, colours and styles will be in that season.
It’s no secret that clothing changes from season to season.
However, there are some items that are timeless. Year in and year out they remain. These items are worth the investment because, as the years go by, they remain in style.
These are the key items that are timeless and need to be in your wardrobe each year:
Every man should have a white pair of sneakers in his closet. They go with everything. White sneakers allow you to be versatile. They allow you to experiment with your clothing. You cannot go wrong with white sneakers. They go with anything. If you want to go casual with your sneakers, you can pair them with jeans or cargo shorts. If the occasion requires a smart casual look then you can pair up your sneakers with chinos and a stylish blazer.
Denim
Every man should have a pair of jeans in their wardrobe. Denim is a strong fabric that’s highly durable. Buying jeans is also beneficial because of longevity and convenience. Denim can be dressed up or down. It’s perfect for casual attire or a smart dress code. Jeans are ideal for any season and they never go out of style. Jeans are very practical and you can wear denim during the day with a casual top and then switch it up at night.
Tailored Suit
Every guy should have a quality tailored suit for special occasions, like a graduation or wedding.
Quality makes you look and feel good. Buying a cheap suit from the store can cost you more than you think. You will spend more time and money over the years replacing it. If you invest in a tailored suit, it may cost you on your initial purchase, but it will last you a number of years. Investing in good quality fabric means your suit will not fade over one wash. Quality is long lasting and you will not have to buy a new suit for a while.
When you tailor your suit, you get the perfect fit. There are measurements that are taken before your suit gets tailored and therefore it will be the perfect size. The suit will be made to fit your frame. You don’t have to worry about pants that fit too tight or jacket sleeves that are too short. The suit will be altered to fit you perfectly. The tailor will measure your height, and width.
You can customise your jacket and pants to suit your liking.You can add buttons and zips and place them where you want them. You can dictate if you want pockets or not. You have the option of making your suit look and feel the way you want.
When you tailor your suit, you get the choice of colour and fabric. There are a variety of fabrics that have different colours and patterns. If your suit is tailored, you get the option of picking the exact style you want.
Trench Coat
Every man needs a trench coat in his closet. It’s not only stylish but it’s also practical for those rainy days. Trench coats can be worn with all outfits. And they can last for years, so they’re worth the investment.
Socks
The socks you wear could leave you feeling embarrassed. If your socks have holes or are mismatched and you’re meeting an important client or date it might not leave the best impression. There are different types of socks to choose from for different occasions.
Athletic socks
Wearing the same socks you wear to the office to gym is not advisable. Not only is it embarrassing but it will make you feel uncomfortable. There are socks specifically designed to enhance your performance and give optimum comfort in the gym. Athletic socks have protection embedded in them, which means you will have less calluses.
Everyday socks
If you are constantly in suits every day, chances are you wear socks all the time. If it’s winter, invest in socks that are made up of wool to warm up your feet. For summer, opt for socks that will not dampen your feet quickly and are more lightweight. They also come in different sizes, for example, ankle, quarter length or secret socks. Men should wear black socks with their suits at work, to finish off their professional look.
As the seasons change, there are some staple items that need to stay in your closet. They are classics that don’t change even as the years go by. They are worth the investment because they are timeless.
