Styles and trends may be constantly changing but there are still number of classic items that will never go out of fashion. Owning these means you’ll seldom be stuck for something to throw on and you can be ready to head out in style at a moment’s notice. Here are 5 must-have items for any man’s wardrobe.
Button down Oxford shirt
A well-fitting crisp white shirt is one of those items that can come in handy in a multitude of situations. Aside from being the perfect addition to a formal outfit, a button down white shirt can look timeless with a pair of chinos for a smart day time look or a low-key evening out. That said, white doesn’t always have to be the colour of choice. Any button down Oxford shirt also looks great over a pair of slim-fit jeans or even a pair of tailored shorts for a smart summer evening look.

Classic trench coat
While the weather is still relatively cool, your coat can really make or break an outfit. One style you can’t go wrong with is a classic trench coat which looks great with pretty much anything. For an iconic look, choose a traditional fit belted style that falls to just below the knee in either beige, navy or black. It’s also important to ensure your coat isn’t too loose, so choose one that sits well around your body. Avoid any gaping fabric if you want it to look smart rather than oversized.
Slim fit jeans
No closet is complete without a go-to pair of jeans. If you’re looking for a new addition to your wardrobe then the best thing to do is go for darker shades. They offer a sleeker appearance and are more versatile than lighter denim hues. It’s also a good idea to steer clear of distressed denim and go for a pair that are cut closer to the body for a style that really will go with anything. Dress them up with a slim fit shirt and open collar or wear them every day with a simple crew neck t-shirt.
White trainers
If you often find yourself stuck when it comes to footwear, then the best thing you can do is invest in a good pair of white trainers. The brand isn’t what matters here, it’s simply about finding trainers that fit you well and look great with your outfits.
The perfect suit
Of all the wardrobe staples a man needs this is arguably one of the hardest to find. A good suit should stand the test of time and fit you perfectly. If you find black a bit too formal then go for a darker grey hue for a more low-key feel. A few things to look out for when trying on your suit are that the shoulders lie flat, it closes properly and that the sleeves are the correct length. Where the trousers are concerned length is also key, as is the way the fabric falls from the waistband. Any trousers that are too tight around the thighs will look uncomfortable and run the risk of bunching up when you walk.
