Men's Fashion Must-Haves

We're always wondering what to wear, but looking for those perfectly matching colors and styles for every occasion seems to be such a hassle. We never actually stop and question ourselves on the basics of men's fashion. What are men's fashion must-haves anyhow? These nuts and bolts of men's fashion are the foundation of our everyday wear, and they'll keep us looking good and bail us out whenever we lack inspiration. Men's fashion essentials will incontestably vary in price and style according to a man's given age, income bracket, work environment, and personal style, but rarely will the actual list's substance vary from what we've compiled hereinafter. Read the following list and take note of which fashion items are missing from your wardrobe. "formal dressing" Suit Every man needs at least one well-tailored suit for whatever special events he'll be attending. Even if it's a "once a year" occasion, it's embarrassing to feel out of place and look like a cheapskate without a suit. If you need only one suit, buy a classic black or gray single-breasted suit. Ask your salesperson for a classic cut that won't go out of style. That way you'll only need to change your shirt and tie to keep your look fresh and up-to-date. Blue/White Button-Down Shirt A dressy white shirt is a must-have for suits and/or dressy pants for more formal occasions. It',s a classic article that will never go out of style. (If you're a banker, you'll have to wear a blue or white button-down shirt every working day of your life.) One Magnificent Tie A tie is a fashion essential because it complements the suit. Although you should have a variety of ties, you should always purchase at least one new, sensational tie per year because tie trends change frequently. This will force you to change your look on a regular basis (assuming you don't wear suits that often). But if you wear suits every day, you should buy a trendy tie every season. That way you'll be in style and look sharp every time you wear a suit, as it will allow you to accumulate a nice collection of diverse ties in the process. Black Shoes, Black Belt One of the biggest fashion no-nos is to mismatch the color of your belt with that of your shoes. Wearing black shoes and a black belt is a fashion fundamental and will bail you out for any occasion, whether it's casual or formal. If your budget for fashion goods is rather low, buy at least one pair of black leather shoes and a black leather belt. Classic black shoes will last you at least a year or two while a black belt will most likely last you a lifetime. Finally, make sure you wear your black shoes and black belt together -- and don't forget to sport black socks. normal wear Jeans Blue jeans are embedded in American culture, and are trousers each and every guy has in his wardrobe. They look good when they're brand new and even when they're somewhat worn out. Blue jeans are versatile and comfortable, and can easily be combined with dressier shoes, sneakers, sandals, or loafers to make for a great sporty look. White T-Shirt The Bruce Willis "blue jeans and white t-shirt" look is what men worldwide should be aiming for when not at work. The white t-shirt and blue jeans ensemble is an extremely simple genre that looks great while remaining comfortable. It's probably the only combination that you'll be able to wear every day of the week without anybody noticing it (this doesn't imply that you only need one shirt and one pair of jeans -- buy several). One Favorite Sweater Every man has one sweater that he'll wear again and again, regardless of how many times it's been worn. Make sure you have at least one favorite sweater handy that makes you feel good and bails you out when you can't figure out what to wear. Many types of sweaters exist, so if you don't know which one might look good on you or even suit your style best, read up on the different types of sweaters available. Sneakers You probably already own a pair of sneakers for workouts or to wear with your favorite blue jeans. Wearing nice-looking sneakers with jeans or any other type of sporty pants looks amazing, not to mention that it's extremely comfortable. Buy at least one pair of new sneakers a year. accessories, Leather wallet A leather wallet is a must-have fashion accessory that every man should own. It's practical, enduring and will look great in both formal and casual occasions. A black or brown leather wallet is also a sure bet because it blends perfectly with most of your attire,and is a classic that will never go out of style. I personally recommend the Brown Hartmann Leather Billfolds or the Black Hartmann Leather Billfolds. Watch We've said it before and we'll say it again, a watch is the only piece of jewelry any man really needs. A timepiece, like shoes, can say a lot about a man's personality and fashion sense. If you're limit,ed to one watch, make sure it's one that can be worn both during formal and not-so-formal occasions - like the Seiko Le Grand Sport . Like anything else, I strongly suggest that you buy the best quality product you can afford, to avoid having to worry about it for a while. Take note of the fashion essentials you're missing and shop for them. Have a great week and remember to keep on stylin'.
