Narrowing the many wardrobe essentials
down to a few basic, absolute must- haves is more difficult than you think.
After a lot of thought the list has been brought down to a mere fifteen. Of
course, one can’t survive with just these fifteen, but they are the fifteen
basics every man must own.
1. Basic white tee
A plain white t- shirt is probably the
most important piece of clothing in a man’s wardrobe. I’m sure most woman would
agree that a man looks best in white. Needless to say, it’s probably the
simplest and most comfortable thing you can own. And what’s more, it’s so easy
to pair it with a trouser and jacket because it will go with absolutely any
color.
2. Blue denims
It’s really important to own a pair of
jeans and it’s also important that it is well fitted. Jeans have become a part
of man’s daily lives for casual wear. But if it has to be brought down to just
one pair then dark blue is the perfect choice.
3.Black or navy blue tee
Black and navy blue are probably the
favourites of most men. Luckily it looks good with almost everything so it
works out for the best.
4.Beige chinos or shorts
If you’re a shorts kind of person, a
beige shorts is an absolute must- have. Otherwise, you can always go for a
chino style trouser in beige. These are comfortable and yet not as casual as
jeans, perfect for your semi formal or smart casual look.
5.Sneakers/ loafers
Simple white sneakers or a pair of
classic loafers which go with all your casual wear is another wardrobe
essential. Just that one classy pair of sneakers can make you look your casual
best.
6.Bomber jacket
Instead of your regular hoodies and
pullovers, keep yourself warm in style with a bomber jacket preferably in
leather. One can never go wrong with that.
7.Tweed or checked jacket
You always need one casual blazer and
this is your chance to experiment with textures or checks on your blazer. You
can wear it with your favourite pair of jeans or chinos and even your shorts.
8.Black trouser
Well, there really is no explanation
needed here. A simple formal black trouser is your go-to pair of trousers when
you just cannot muster the energy to look for something to wear.
9.Black shirt
Black shirts are the best choice for your
evening wear and party wear and again are extremely easy to pair with.
10.Classic white shirt
A crisp white formal shirt that works
under any suit or even on its own. And if you can add one more in linen to your
wardrobe, there’s nothing like it.
11.Chinese collared shirt
Apart from the basic shirt, a Chinese
collared shirt is also a must have in your wardrobe. Be it for functions or
semi- formals, a Chinese collar shirt looks really stylish.
12.Pale blue shirt
Pale blue is the perfect choice of shirt
under a grey, navy blue, beige or black suit.
13.A 3- piece suit in navy blue or
dark grey
Navy blue and dark grey are the most
sought after colours among suits for men and are the most basic suits one must
own. Instead of a two- piece suit, get these along with a waistcoat. That way
you can wear the suit in two different styles and even wear the waistcoat
on it’s own.
14.Oxfords
Like your sneakers for casual wear,
oxfords are your go-to pair of shoes when it comes to formals. Either in a
black or a tan brown, these shoes can go with almost all your formal wear.
15.Maroon/navy tie
Maroon and navy blue ties are the colours
that go best with a majority of your suits. If you want to play it safe, turn
to maroon or navy.
Of course, I would love to add Chelsea
boots, a pullover or a hoodie, a tuxedo and even a bandhgala or bandi but then
the list would go on. So, keeping it to a bare minimum these essentials should
definitely be a part of your wardrobe.
