A Man Has Needs
Guys, we’ve long been ignored and over-simplified on the fashion front. The days of sending your wife or partner into the wilderness to forage for your wardrobe are long-gone. Time to roll up your sleeves [which we’ll teach you to properly do]. Here’s the game plan… let’s get started with the necessities. Check out these 25 essential elements for every man’s wardrobe:
Shirts
1. White button down […a no brainer. Stick to cotton.]
2. Casual plaid or striped button down […a bit of a brainer]
3. Polo shirt
4. Basic T-shirt/undershirt […the best defense against pit stains]
Outerwear/Sweaters
5. Fleece/sweatshirt
6. Basic crew/V-neck […you have depth, show us your layers]
7. Turtleneck
8. Cardigan […no, they aren’t just for soccer moms]
Trousers/Shorts
9. Dark denim jeans […in addition to that worn out pair you won’t throw away]
10. Flat front khaki’s
11. Corduroys […thick or thin, it’s your call]
12. Shorts […not ‘70s gym shorts. Not ‘80s jam shorts. Twenty-first century, just above the knee shorts]
Suits/Jackets
13. Black Suit […because a T-shirt and jeans are not acceptable for every occasion]
14. Gray flannel suit […for something more modern. Don’t be afraid to wear it with sneakers]
15. Navy Blazer
16. Leather jacket […take a page from Brando’s book]
Accessories
17. Watch […whether sport or luxury, always go for quality]
18. Black leather belt […please, keep the buckles simple and classic]
19. Brown leather belt […see #18]
20. Black leather hard-soled shoes
21. Brown leather hard-soled shoes
22. Colored fabric belt […nylon or cotton]
23. Sneakers
24. Solid colored necktie […no cheap prints, it ages you]
25. Wallet […the perfect item to go crazy with]
[Satisfy your needs]CONFIRMED. Now exercise.
