Yes, we all care about how we look. We like to make a good impression and, regarding the general opinion that beauty comes from within, let’s face it – a first impression is about how you look and dress.
Therefore, every guy needs some general items in their wardrobe, pieces of clothing always in trend, which can be combined easily and will also look great.
Here are 10 clothing essentials every guy needs and tips & tricks on how to match them for different outfits:
Jeans
If you wanna look cool, choose the medium washed jeans. They never go out of style, and they are essential. They are perfect to wear in spring and summer, even fall as long as the weather is warmer.
The whitewashed denim looks incredible with white sneakers during summer season. And when the weather goes chilly, try something a little bit darker.
A darker denim shade, the slim fit style will match with just about anything, and it looks super sexy. It’s a go-to pair of clothing on the essentials list.
Boots
Try the suede boots on this one. These types of boots have become one of my favorite leather options. They are super stylish because the suede gives an outfit a different level of texture and richness.
But don’t be scared of this type of material and believe it’s high maintenance. Most men usually do, but! They actually seem to look better after they’ve been ‘broken in.’ It gives the suede material a little bit of character and edge, and they’ll look great in any outfit combination.
Wear them without stressing out that the material is too tender. You’ll be very satisfied with this piece of must-have in any man’s wardrobe.
Polo sweater
It doesn’t get any more stylish than the lightweight long sleeve polo sweater. This one’s definitely an essential 😉 The lightweight fabric looks and feels amazing on the skin, it brings out your muscles and body’s natural posture.
Be careful to choose the exact perfect size on the polo sweater, this piece of clothing has to be strategically snugged in the right places (the chest, arms but not too tight on the body) to look perfect!
Tip: resume to one-colored sweaters. Neutral colors such as grey, black or lighter shades give a fine look to any outfit. Its elegant, its sexy.
The turtleneck
Gotta trust us on this one! 😉 Even if maybe you don’t see it now, it is an essential piece you should have in the wardrobe. It can even be real sexy and you have so many fabric options to choose from.
Men get more attention and compliments if they know how to rock a turtleneck. Try a lightweight one for starters. The color palette available is multiple.
Plus it will give you that bad boy look that you are looking for.
Try this outfit: A lightweight white turtleneck with a light brown longer trench coat, elegant cloth pants, and brown suede boots. You’ll just love it! Try a darker shade, if you’re not into white. Black or grey works just as well with the suggested outfit.
Sneakers
There’s no need to talk much about these ones, you all know every guy needs at least one great, original, qualitative pair of sneakers. Even if you pay extra for what you like, at least make sure its great quality and will last. The sneakers are classic footwear, essential, no doubt.
The Henley Blouse
Every dude needs one, two, possibly three Henley’s in his wardrobe. Google it and you’ll see that you definitely already have it, but didn’t know it’s called ‘Henley.’ ☺
This blouse fits great, looks even better, and matches great with jeans. It’s easy to wear, and it can make you look skinnier. The Henley blouse is the one you choose when you don’t know how to dress but still wanna look casual-stylish 😉
Jacket
But not just any jacket – the mother of all casual jacket – the Bomber Jacket!
A lightweight bomber jacket is perfect for rocking with a t-shirt, a Henley, but you can also dress it up with a turtleneck. A jacket is definitely a clothing essential for men, and this particular model can be matched with a number of other pieces.
Outfit example: Dark green bomber jacket, lightweight grey turtleneck denim jeans, pair of boots – fast, simple, and a killer look! Easy as that.
Slacks
Slacks are casual long pants, not jeans.
You cannot always wear jeans or sport pants, so you need a pair of slacks. The slacks are generally dressy and traditional. They often look elegant and are made of certain fabrics such as gabardine and other polyesters. The slacks are tailored, not on an elastic waist.
They can be slimming and elegant, straight, flared, or bell-bottom. They match really great with a white shirt and tie.
Trench coat
It’s elegant, it’s stylish, it’s a must in your wardrobe! Yes, it’s not a day-to-day piece, but you need one for those moments when the simple suit jacket just won’t do anymore.
There are many color varieties for men and you can wear it in a formal setting. It will look absolutely great and classy, women will love this mysterious look of yours 😉
Outfit idea: you can wear the trench above a simple white shirt with a black tie. You can also wear it with a turtle neck.
Also, if you’re looking for a way to add another layer to your casual clothes, then you can easily chuck one on!
The V-neck sweater
This is one piece every single one of you should be having in your wardrobe. The V-neck sweater has been, is, and always will be one of men’s personal favorite. And even if you think the particular V-model doesn’t suit you, one piece is still a must in your wardrobe.
Outfit idea: Try combining a lightweight V-neck sweater with a shirt underneath, so the collar sticks out. Or better yet, try that particular model with a shirt collar (it was a thing a couple of years ago). For example, a dark blue V-neck sweater with a white shirt collar, combined with denim jeans. It’s the best smart casual look you have to try!
The V-neck sweater is volatile in colors and fabrics. It’s an all-season men’s style essential.
