8 Things every man needs to have in his wardrobe

If you had to build your wardrobe from scratch, with no clothing or shoes, what would you buy first? You would most likely focus on items that are used the most, ones that you can wear multiple times a week.

We have listed items that are most versatile, items that you can get to use multiple times, ones that give you value for your money while still giving you the opportunity to make a fashion statement with your outfits. We think you will agree with a lot of these items, but you might add a few of your own and that’s okay. But the really cool thing is once you are able to identify what those essential wardrobe items are, you will feel confident in investing in the highest quality version of each item. It is a great approach to ensure you are spending your money intentionally and not wasting it on things you wouldn’t need.

1. Chelsea Boots:
These are really sleek boots and they add such a cool vibe to your outfit. The question now is how to pick the right pair, our advice- It’s all about the shape. Go for something more modern.

Although, some people are not fans of the Chelsea boots and that’s okay, It might not be part of your style.

2. A black or brown belt:
Ideally, you should get both the brown and black belt so you can match them with different outfits.

Next thing you should look at is trying different types of belts to see which one you prefer.
