Classics for Men

For the past few months I have been approached by some of my male friends asking me to help them find
classic clothing pieces; that will last the passage of time and would shuffle them into the phase of adulthood as a gentleman.

First and foremost every man should invest in a good tailored suit. The colours black and navy are always classic and in style.

• Brooks Brothers- They are in the higher price range but they are known for their quality. They have been an American brand for over 100 years and have dressed many of our presidents. Wouldn't you like to look as good as president?
• Men's Warehouse- I don't know much about this brand but many of my newly graduated male friends came here to find their suits. According to their website tailoring is available!
• Macy's - It is considerably affordable when compared to the first two but is excellent quality as well. All one needs to do is find a tailor to ensure fit because I have never seen one there.

Second

• Bowties or Ties. I feel as though with this section it is about personal preference.I think a man should have both because on some events one is more appropriate than the other (in my opinion) Colours that are considered neutral and classic are the best, for example: black, grey, navy.

Third- Cardigans

• They are perfect for cooler weather and can be worn casually with jeans or more formal with dress pants. I have seen men wearing them under a suit jacket in the wintertime in lieu of a vest.
• One should invest in a Cashmere but one doesn't need too.
• You can really get this piece anywhere you choose.

Fourth- A white button down

• It goes with everything, get one long and short sleeve. I have seen more men with the long version and they roll their sleeves up. (Like in the picture above)
• Same as before you don't have to splurge on this piece unless you wish too. Almost everywhere has these, just make sure it is completely plain, don't get one from Express that has that emblem on it. That is plain tacky, we are going for classic here.

Fifth- Shoes

• Loafers
• Boat Shoes- Sperry's are fantastic, they get wet and they dry and they're are so comfortable. Believe me I am really picky about shoes.
• Working boots- for those who aren't scared to the get their hands dirty.

Sixth- Peacoat

• Also invest in a good one, you'll need to purchase a lint roller too

Seventh- Belt

• A brown or black leather belt and ALWAYS  ALWAYSSSS make sure they match your shoes

Eighth, last not least- Wallet

• A brown/black leather wallet, non-Velcro. Tommy Hilfiger/ Ralph Lauren are affordable options.

• I feel Ryan Gosling tells it best
