10 Basics to Add to Your Wardrobe

A white shirt is simply indispensable. It suits every occasion and every body type. Be it used for formal occasions (with a suit) or for casual looks with jeans and white sneakers, it will always a safe choice.

Every man needs at least one well-fitting suit in his wardrobe. Neutral colours like black or dark blue can be worn for different occasions. A neatly tailored suit is the counterpart to a woman's little black dress. It makes men look serious, well-dressed and elegant.

Why dark jeans? Because they can be styled much better than light jeans. Whether casual or chic, any style is possible. And though they can cost a little more, high-quality jeans fit well, are durable and do not discolour.

Some time ago, the polo shirt was seen as a garment only for elite university students. Now it is making a comeback, which is a good thing, as we consider the polo shirt to be a basic item that every man should have in his wardrobe. It is the classic alternative to a shirt. The comfort of a shirt but with more sporty elegance and sophistication.

The leather jacket never goes out of fashion and stands for casual coolness, rebellion and heroism. It is also a status symbol in many subcultures. A leather jacket is always a good choice and pairs well with a t-shirt or sweater, jeans and sneakers.

White sneakers are comfortable and can be combined with pretty much any outfit. And we mean absolutely any outfit. They not only suit a casual street look but can even be combined with a suit when cleverly combined with a white T-shirt or shirt. One important thing, no matter the look? Clean shoes are a must, especially with white sneakers.

Every man probably has T-shirts in his wardrobe. The best shirts for the basic wardrobe are classic cotton and, above all, plain-coloured and without prints or other large, eye-catching decorations. 

Chino pants are timeless and comfortable to wear. They are made of light cotton-based materials. The advantage of these pants is that they have a tailored fit and a stretchy fabric. This makes them comfortable to wear even in summer. Chinos are suitable for most occasions and can be combined with casual or formal looks.

Short shorts are a must for warm summer days. If you think that they cannot be worn elegantly and modernly, you're wrong. Bermuda shorts, linen shorts and knitted shorts fall into this category; they are comfortable to wear even in hot weather and add a touch of chicness to any look.

You simply need a tank top, and not just because they are back in fashion. They are much more than just undershirts and should be seen as sleeveless T-shirts with a wide range of uses. Combined with shorts or jeans, under an open shirt or with a leather jacket, they create an overall casual style.
