Men’s Wardrobe Basics You Can Mix And Match Daily
Choosing the right outfit to wear daily can seem challenging at times, but within this article, we detail several men’s wardrobe basics that offer a great deal of versatility, allowing you to always look your best!
Well-fitting neutrally coloured T-shirts
Having a range of different coloured T-shirts without any design can seriously add to the versatility of your wardrobe, as you will be able to choose which colour T-shirt best suits the rest of your clothing, leaving you with a striking-looking appearance. You can often save money by buying t-shirt multipacks that include t-shirts of varying colours. This can be a perfect quick fix if your wardrobe needs a tune-up. In terms of materials, you want to be aiming for either t-shirts made out of cotton or a cotton/polyester blend for optimal comfort and clothing longevity. Another thing to consider is choosing T-shirts that suit the size and shape of your body. This can go a long way toward ensuring that you look good wherever you find yourself.
But If Graphical T-Shirts Are Your Thing Go For That As Well!
Nobody said you shouldn’t get that T-shirt featuring your favourite band or another hobby/interest that you may have; there are plenty of graphic t-shirts to choose from from a wide variety of retailers, so you are bound to find your thing! What’s more, you can find T-shirts with varying sizes of graphical images on them, so if you want something small, that’s fine.
Button Down Shirts
Every man should have at least one casual shirt in his wardrobe, they offer so much functionality and can truly elevate the rest of your outfit. You can wear a shirt buttoned up like it was intended, or you could wear a plain-coloured t-shirt underneath and just decide not to fasten the buttons on your shirt. This can allow you to create a striking colour mirage between your shirt and the t-shirt you are wearing underneath; you may want to try a few different options before heading out of the door for the best-looking combination.
Dark Wash Jeans
Dark wash jeans that are either dark blue, black, or grey are very versatile pieces of kit within your wardrobe; they can be worn when you are dressing up or down. While they are perfect for a night out or dining out in most places, you should avoid wearing jeans at formal events.
Formal Trousers
These are the trousers you should opt to wear at formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, and job interviews. These trousers look smarter than what you would typically choose to wear on a day-to-day basis and are used to elevate other aspects of formal wear, such as suits and decorative shoes. You can find formal trousers in a range of different colours to match the rest of your outfit. However, the most common colour of formal trousers is black.

Suit Jacket
Suit jackets are another wardrobe must-have; they are perfect additions to every man’s wardrobe. Suit jackets come in a wide range of different colours
Nice Watch
By this, we don’t mean you have to spend an excessive amount of money on a watch because you don’t, but by having a look at the options available to you, there should be a few watches that stand out to you and also suit a wide range of outfits. If you are unsure, you could ask to have a look at the watches your friends and family wear to decide which designs most suit you.
Belt And Belt Buckle
Investing in a good quality belt can help elevate the rest of your outfit and mean that the belt will likely last longer than cheaper alternatives. Belts are made using a range of materials, but if you want a belt that will suit every occasion, you should opt for a leather belt or a fake leather belt. Belt buckles can also make a big difference to your overall outfit, they allow you to be creative and express yourself. There is a wide range of belt buckle designs that have both animals and places detailed on them; you can also get custom belt buckles where you submit the design you want to the person doing the inscribing.
Hats And Gloves
You may think that a hat and gloves seem like mundane things to add to this list, but hear us out! Hats and gloves come in an almost endless variety of colours and designs, allowing you to choose garments that best suit the rest of your outfit and your personality. You also won’t struggle to find hats and gloves that have emblems of your favourite sports teams, movies, and interests.
Tracksuits
A pair of heavyweight tracksuits or even just a pair of tracksuit trousers are great additions to every man’s wardrobe; they are the perfect attire for lounging around the house on a day off or for pushing yourself through physical exercise. You can go to most places wearing a comfortable pair of tracksuits and a pair of trainers, but you should avoid wearing tracksuit clothing to events that have even the slightest hint of formality.
Trainers
Having at least one pair of comfortable trainers available to you is always advisable, as you can wear them on most occasions. Trainers come in a wide variety of styles and colours, so you are bound to find a pair of trainers that suits the rest of your outfit. For the most versatile trainers, you should choose trainers that have neutral colours, so they will have an increased chance of fitting well with the rest of your outfit.
Umbrella
Umbrellas are great additions to your wardrobe, and once you exclude the obvious benefit of helping keep you dry, umbrellas can also be striking fashion pieces. Umbrellas come in a wide variety of colors, designs, and sizes, meaning you won’t struggle to find the right one for you. Just like several other clothing items we have mentioned on this list, you can find umbrellas that have a range of graphical prints on them; meaning you will be able to find umbrellas with logos of your favourite band, hobbies, and business logos.
