Men’s clothing and wardrobe choices are important – especially for those who work in offices.
You don’t want to go to work and look like you and every other man in the building are cookie cutter similar. To that end, what do you need to have in your wardrobe that will set you apart from the rest? Let’s take a look.
The Dress Shirt
This is something that is a given in an office setting. You don’t have to all look and feel the same though. Check out some of the athletic dress shirts for example.
These shirts are made from a comfortable material that wicks moisture away from the body so you will always be cool. They are easy to care for too.
No need to worry about taking them to the dry cleaner. Just throw them in the washer and dryer and then hang them up. They are resistant to wrinkles, so you don’t even need to worry about ironing them.
Shoes
A nice, solid pair of shoes that can be categorised as ‘dress shoes’ is a critical element. Shoes can be one of the initial things people notice every time they meet someone new.
This means that a fantastic pair of dress shoes can assist you in leaving a great first impression. There are really 3 styles of shoes that every man needs to have in his wardrobe.
They are the brogue, the loafer, and the Oxford. When purchasing dress shoes, make sure that both the soles and the upper parts are made with materials that are high quality.
Remember that a great pair of shoes will last a long time, so feel free to spend a bit more on your shoes. You should have a minimum of two pairs so that you can let them breathe between the time you wear them. This will help them last longer too.
Ties
A tie is worn to fall down the middle of the upper body, which means that it is one of the more noticeable elements of an outfit… making it one of the essential elements of a man’s wardrobe.
It helps if you have a wide range of choices when it comes to ties so that you will be able to make your suit shine. A good tip when it comes to beginning a tie collection is to get ones that match your suits.
Look for ties that will be colour coordinated to help you make that good first impression. Once you have managed to get a good selection of these, you can start branching out to other colours and patterns that are a bit bolder.
Suits
Now, this is a bit trickier. Let’s talk about two different types of suits. The bespoke suit and the classic suit. The bespoke – or custom-tailored suit – can be a critical part of the wardrobe for a businessman.
This suit will be built specifically to the body measurements of the person who will be wearing it. You can get a bespoke suit made for different times of the year, which means that you will be comfortable regardless of the season.
When it comes to classic suits, charcoal, and navy blue are some no-fail colours to get. When you have suits that are either of these colours, they will be appropriate regardless of the meeting or event they will be worn to.
Because of this, it is important for every man to have a minimum of one in each colour. When you have these suits, you will always be prepared for whatever the occasion and will look fantastic.
Cufflinks
Cuff kinks go beyond trendy when it comes to men’s fashion. They are also timeless. You need to have a minimum of one great pair to go with your business wear.
Cufflinks not only add class and sophistication to your look, they also add a bit of personality to it and are great no matter the occasion. The type you see most commonly is known as ‘tornado style’.
You attach these by pushing them straight through the cuff buttonholes and then securing them into position by using a clip.
Updating your wardrobe doesn’t need to be daunting… especially when you have these basic elements already in use.
