Clothing Essentials for Every Man’s Wardrobe
A white button-down shirt
There’s very little that won’t go with a button-down shirt. Worn with a suit for a more casual look, under a crew-neck jumper at the weekend, or teamed with a pair of chinos and a statement belt, this is the most versatile item in your wardrobe. Opt for a shirt cut from thick, soft cotton.
A navy blue crew neck jumper
A cotton mix crew neck in an adaptable shade of navy can be worn with pretty much everything and will act as a layer in winter and a feature piece in summer. A faultless piece that should be the staple of every man’s wardrobe.
Slim, navy chino trousers
A good alternative to jeans and great if you don’t want to wear suit trousers, slim navy chinos are ideal for summer or winter. Wear with a shirt, shirt and jacket, t-shirt, t-shirt and bomber – the options are endless.
A petrol blue suit
If you wear a suit to work, you should always own more than one. A petrol blue, a single-breasted option is a great place to start. This darker blue colour is the perfect way to look professional, trendy and stylish.
A denim jacket
The denim jacket, it’s easier to wear than you think, worn under an unlined navy blazer, worn over a loopback sweatshirt or simple tee, or even worn with a pair of jeans in a different hue, the look you should go for is casual, but in control.
Slim indigo jeans
A good pair of jeans should be slim but not too tight, stiff but not so stiff that you can’t bend your legs, and naturally blue. For an outstanding balance of durability and flexibility, 5.11 tactical jeans are a wise choice, combining function with everyday style. A pair of classic dark selvedge denim ticks all those boxes and then some.
A good quality, white t-shirt
Because this will go with everything you own, just be sure to invest in something cut from high-quality cotton. Not only will an expensive fabric feel better against your skin, but anything sub-par will suffer at the hands of your washing machine.
A beige trench
Perfect for spring, a proper double-breasted trench coat will keep out the rain and look as sharp when worn over your suit as it will with a t-shirt and jeans.
A bomber jacket
What was once a passing trend is now a bona fide menswear essential. A bomber jacket packs an outer layer that looks good on everyone, so invest in a simple, clean-cut one in a dark, versatile shade.
A navy blazer
A navy blazer is the perfect piece of transition tailoring. For the colder months, go for a darker shade in brushed cotton, but know that lighter fabrics will easily slot among other layers.

I really enjoyed reading your essential guide for men’s wardrobes. Whilst I do agree with many of the choices, I know for a fact my husband would never wear a denim jacket.
My husband is missing a few of these! Good idea for a Father’s Day gift
Chino’s, Jeans, Polo shirt.
Can’t beat a quality white t-shirt on a man
I do like a man in chino trousers with a nice white shirt.
Would be great but hubby hates clothes shopping
What a great piece and so handy, really easy to understand and something i can use now!
An excellent list but I’m not a fan of denim jackets or beige trench coats!
A great article, really love some of the items.
I am going to show my man this blog, as I find him very difficult to buy clothes for.
Bomber jacket and jeans.
My partners essentials include a good belt! He definitely needs a refresh
I’m single at the moment but some nice ideas for when my dream man comes into my life! x
Nothing better than a man in a white shirt
I love a denim jacket
I love choosing my husband’s clothes as he is so disinterested. Sometimes I wish he would take more interest. Some good ideas herewith.
