The Go-To Pieces Every Guy Should Own
When life gets hectic (especially for a modern man with a busy career and life responsibilities), having a few reliable go-to outfits can make things a whole lot easier. You do not need to be a high-end fashion follower; all you need is a handful of basics, and everything else will fall into place. In the following article, I will explore the best clothing choices every guy should own to create an easy-to-wear wardrobe.
When you have clothes that both look good and feel good, you are given a huge confidence boost (especially knowing that you are not second-guessing yourself before you leave the house). This type of attire will work hard in the background of your day-to-day lifestyle activities—items that you can rely on no matter what you are doing that day.
Everyday Staples
As a starting point, invest in a few well-fitting shirts. You do not need to splash out on designer names, just good quality pieces that are the correct size for your frame (this point is crucial).
Next, it is important to have a good pair of jeans in your arsenal—choose a wash that matches almost everything (such as dark denim blue or black). Finish up with a casual shirt, fitted knit, jacket, and a pair of decent trainers or boots—you already have the foundation of a solid wardrobe.
As mentioned, you do not need anything ‘too fancy’ or expensive. You only need a small selection of pieces (akin to the capsule wardrobe trend) that bring everything else together as a cohesive whole. If you nail this area, you will already find that it makes getting ready a whole lot easier!
It’s The Little Things That Matter
After the basics have been sorted, you need to consider the extras—a quality belt, a simple (but stylish) watch, and maybe even a comfy hoodie that is easy to wear on down days but still ticks off those fashionable boxes. These little touches may seem insignificant, but they can totally make an outfit without trying too hard.
If you are a gadget lover (let’s face it, most guys are!), you can integrate smart accessories into your ensemble. You may automatically think they are expensive items, but you can get the best deals on smartwatches if you shop around! They are handy tools to have (offering fitness advice, access to communications and more) and sit comfortably right on your wrist – definitely a worthwhile investment.
Make It Work For You
Even though I can suggest items to include in your wardrobe choices, everyone is ultimately different. As such, there is no single list of things every guy must have. You need to find the right mix for your lifestyle and tastes. For example, if you enjoy working from home, your go-to pieces will likely look a little different from those of someone in a traditional formal setting (and that’s ok!).
The important point is that you need a few trusted items that will make life just that little bit easier (not harder). Even when you are running late or feeling down (and don’t want to think too much), you will always be able to grab something from your closet that works.
Also, you are not out to impress anyone—going down that road will require a big outlay, and more importantly, you are probably not staying true to yourself. Instead, focus on items that you like and that make you feel great when you slip them on.
Furthermore, your go-to pieces are not set in stone. They can change with the seasons, your career, or even your weekend plans. Just remember, what really matters is that they complement you and your lifestyle habits and goals.
