Building a perfect wardrobe is a tough task. As grown-up men, you need to look presentable no matter what situation you find yourself in: formal or casual. In order to achieve that, you need to own clothes that fit these situations. You just can’t wear those ripped jeans to your office meeting! The second problem that men encounter when building their wardrobe is budget. The goal of having clothes for every occasion leads to unnecessary bad investment on items that you might use just once or twice. For this reason, we bring you a highly curated list of five essential items you should have in your wardrobe, no matter what your budget is: Solid White Shirt A solid white shirt should be one of the first things to buy when you are building your wardrobe. A good quality white shirt works with almost every other piece of clothing and will go a long way. Wear it with jeans for a casual look, pair it with shorts for brunch with the guys for an effortless look or style it with a navy blazer and formal trousers for the office hours. Ps: For a formal look remember to buy oxford shirts. White Sneakers Sneakers come in all heights, shapes and colours. Not all of them suit the formal look and nor you should wear bright bold sneaker with crazy graphics to work. But there is one holy grail sneaker that suits every occasion aka the solid white sneaker. Like a blank canvas, you can style it any outfit. Wear it with jeans or shorts for a casual look or wear it with sneakers for the modern professional look. Your imagination is your limit! Navy blue suit People are always confused between the black and the navy-blue suit. Though black may the first colour which comes to your mind when you think of a suit, the navy-blue suit will help you stand out from others and make you appear sharp and confident. Pair with a good pair of brogues or oxford shoes and a watch for the perfect look for the meeting and dinner reservations. Brown leather watch A watch is a classic man’s timepiece. If you can own only one accessory, this is the one you should own. While there are numerous options out there based on different budgets, a decent brown leather watch is perfect for all occasions. Dress it up with your suit or dress down with a tee and shorts. Either way, look amazing. Cotton trousers/Chinos Why when it comes to pants, we always think of in the extremes. Jeans for casuals and formal trousers for office setups. But chinos/cotton trousers are a great middle option. Comfortable and stylish, dress it up with a blazer or dress it down with some a cool shirt or a tee. The combinations are endless. So, those are the five absolute essential a man should have in his wardrobe. You don’t have to go and buy all of these at once, but over time invest in quality pieces to build up your wardrobe.
