Sometimes when you have to get ready, you jump in the shower and then go to your room to open your closet.
It’s full of clothes and is a mess. You have a lot of clothes but you still think you’ve nothing to wear. Sounds familiar?
This is the story of many guys out there.
People are making efforts to look their best because you know that our look and style matters and makes a difference. It shows that people like to care for themselves. There are different reasons why men want to look good and stylish, maybe there’s somebody they want to impress, maybe want to get attention and get noticed by others and many other reasons. The real reason why men should put an effort to look good is for themselves. To feel good and to have confidence.
To look good and stylish you certainly need a stylish and versatile wardrobe. So how about organizing and refreshing your wardrobe and getting some new clothing pieces.
If there’s something, except the suit, that you haven’t worn in a year, it’s time for you to probably get rid of it and make space for something new.
A modern wardrobe should have :
1) versatility
2) quantity
3) solid and neutral colors
4) a few high-quality pieces that will last a very long time.
Don’t buy pieces that are very cheap, except for the pieces that retail for a higher price but are on crazy discounts. These very cheap pieces are definitely made up of low-quality material and will lose shape and color and won’t last long.
So what do you need when you’re starting to build a wardrobe?
The Essentials
First of all, you need a bunch of good quality basic solid t-shirts. Neutral colors like grey, navy blue, black and white should be considered first as t-shirts in these colors are classed as ‘basics’. No logos and no designs just plain basic t-shirts. You need a bunch of them because you’re going to wear them most of the time of the year with and without layers.
Two Pants
Pant is also an important clothing piece that you need. A pair of dark denim- because you can wear it every day for a week with different outfits and most people won’t even know that you’re wearing the same jeans. If you’re going for a high-quality jeans, you don’t even need to wash if for months, unless it gets stains. Make sure not to buy your first pair distressed or super skinny, just the slim fit will be fine.
Another pant you need is chinos. When you need to switch things up just wear chinos and you’re good to go. Chinos comes in different colors like khaki, grey, olive and many more so you have a lot of options to choose from.
Two Pairs of Footwear
You need two pairs of footwear when you’re building your wardrobe. The first pair of shoes are casual shoes, that are athletic or canvas sneakers or trainers. You can get your first pair of casual sneakers in white as they will be versatile and match with all kind of outfits.
The second pair is your formal or dress shoes. You need these shoes when you have to dress up for a formal occasion. For your first pair, you can get the brogues or derby shoes or even the chukka boots.
A well-fitted Suit
For all the formal occasions you need a suit. You need at least one good suit in your wardrobe. For your first suit try colors like grey and navy. The most important thing about a suit is it’s fitting so make sure to go for a well-fitting suit or get it tailored.
Two Shirts
The first type of shirt is the everyday casual shirt that you’re going to wear most of the time. You can get a thick flannel shirt that can be worn for 3 out of 4 seasons of a year. The second shirt to get is the dress shirt or a formal shirt. The white oxford is the best dress shirt out there, it can be layered with a sweater and can even be worn with a suit and without layers.
Topwear
Other pieces needed in your wardrobe are the sweaters, jackets and sweatshirts that you’re going to wear mostly in the winter season and other times when the days are cold. A leather jacket, a sweatshirt and 2 sweaters would be perfect when you’re starting to fill your wardrobe.
You don’t have to buy everything at once. Remember that it takes time to build the wardrobe of your dreams.
