Fashion trends come and go with the seasons, one day something is trendy, and the next it’s not. Basic essentials, however, are here to stay. These items, regardless of fashion trends, are and always will be stylish. Minimalist clothing also tends to get less of a markup, so you can buy it for less. We’ve selected a list of 7 essential items for every man to have in his wardrobe.
A Gray Sweatshirt
Not many things are quite as versatile as a gray sweatshirt. It goes with jeans or slacks, and can be worn on many different occasions, from workouts in the gym to more formal occasions.
It looks good beneath a nice coat in winter, as well as with a shirt under it and the collar showing.
If you like the understated look, the Gildan 18000 will be right up your alley. This casual sweatshirt combines style and quality perfectly, and comes in plenty of other colors if you prefer to liven things up a bit.
A White Oxford Shirt
Tucked into your pants, buttoned up, a white Oxford shirt can be worn in almost any workplace. Take the same shirt, untuck it, undo a couple of buttons and it can be worn on vacation while enjoying a nice cocktail. It cannot be left out of any man’s wardrobe.
With its oxford shirt, Devon & Jones takes a minimalist approach, giving you the freedom to wear it whenever you please, without seeming out of place.
A Blue Checked Shirt
Sometimes, you might not feel like wearing a formal shirt, but you still think that a t-shirt is too casual. The checked shirt tones down the formality a bit, but not too much. Avoiding white is another way to make your shirt a little less formal, and we’ve picked blue, as it’s another really versatile color that suits almost any situation.
We love this flannel shirt from Burnside. It’s nice and simple, and it looks great. Another item that cannot be missing from your minimalist wardrobe.
White & Black T-Shirts
We all need plenty of t-shirts, and nothing says humble and minimalistic quite like a black or white t-shirt. Whatever sweater or pants you’re wearing, either black or white will work with your outfit, so it’s worth having at least a couple of each in your wardrobe.
Gildan’s 8000 t-shirt is the perfect option for those who want to stock up on this essential pieces of clothing. Their prices are as good as they get, so you can make sure you always have enough in your closet.
A Short-Sleeved Polo
To bridge the gap between the shirt and the t-shirt, we have the polo shirt. Everyone needs these for when it’s hot, but they still want to look a little professional. They’re also great for sport, and look especially at home on the golf course.
We’ve picked out this one from Hanes– it’s great value, and is a cotton/polyester blend, so it works for sport as well. We like the green as it’s another understated color, that combines well with plenty of other clothing.
A Comfy Hoodie
No wardrobe is complete without at least one hoodie. They’re cozy, comfortable and casual and come in a wide array of colors.
Especially during cold winter nights at home, there’s nothing better than having a relaxed evening while wearing your favorite hoodie.
We’ve gone for this maroon hoodie from Fruit of the Loom, it’s more subtle than red, but adds a little color to your outfit.
The Complete Closet
Make sure you have all the essentials, and you’ll never struggle to pick out what to wear. These 7 essentials give you a great base to work from, regardless of whether or not you want to add a little flair on top. Happy shopping!
