- Solid-colored classic suit: This is a must-have, and ideally not just one. For example, dark blue and dark gray suits.
- Several classic white shirts: Besides a white shirt, it’s good to have a few in other colors and matching ties.
- Straight blue jeans: Simple, without distressing, embellishments, or prints.
- T-shirts and polo shirts: Again, plain, with a few color variations.
- Plain cardigan: A cardigan is perfect for casual everyday looks, adding a touch of elegance.
- Classic overcoat: Save jackets for sports or trips out of town.
- White non-sport sneakers: Without excessive decor or glossy finishes.
- Don’t forget accessories: Watches, wallets, belts, cufflinks — all are essential parts of a man’s basic wardrobe.
