Things Every Guy Needs in Their Wardrobe
Elevating your style and overall wardrobe can feel like a challenge, where in reality a few staple items can carry you a long way in terms of simplicity and style. Finding the perfect fit doesn't have to come to purchasing every small detail, rather a few basic pieces can carry you further with less dollars too.
1. Jacket
Not just for fashion, your go-to jacket serves as one of your most important functional pieces in your closet. In the right season the jacket quickly becomes one of your most worn items. With the dozens of combinations created based on style and material, there's limitless options to go with based on your preference. It's also a life saver if you need something to just throw over a tee, yet good enough if you want something simple and effective.
2. Plain Sneakers
It's easy to get caught up in the shoe game and a lot of us are probably guilty for having one too many flashy options. As the literal base of your outfit, shoes are the most functional pieces that you own, and in some situations the most important. (The first thing someone notices about you is your shoe). Having a clean, classy white or off-white sneaker can apply to almost any outfit and instantly elevate it. Gray and navy are both great options as well to steer the focus of your outfit to your upper half.
3. Black Pants
Regardless of the type of fabric or material, black pants are just one of those things that go with almost everything. Jeans, slacks, chinos, trousers, any of these pieces can seamlessly work together with whatever your feeling that day, even a black shirt. The darkness of the fabric creates almost a disappearing effect and can draw more attention to your footwear or the upper portion of your outfit as well. Any function, anytime, anywhere, this piece is one of the closet's MVP's and will work for you whenever you need it.
4. Go-To Hat
Much like shoes and sneakers, theres a whole host of varieties of materials and styles when it comes to hats. Although a good Fedora or Panama can be the best option when class is on the line, for the sake of functionality and usage; a baseball cap or trucker hat is a must. A wise man once said, "You don't choose your hat. It chooses you." Your go-to hat is one that you either spot immediately and know it, or eventually molds to your head. Great for a bad hair day, and can pair with every outfit is a staple piece that all guys need.
