“It’s so simple for men to enjoy dressing up and feeling good..”
…with Aislinn Dwyer
Looking fashionable does not have to be overly complicated or expensive. By investing in quality, timeless pieces you can mix and match and you’ll save money on replacing daggy or worn and torn clothing.
A pair of dark jeans:
A pair of dark denim jeans can sharpen any casual look and won’t go out of fashion. The best part about dark denim jeans is that they can almost be paired with anything – plain basic tees, button ups or bomber jackets. Make sure they’re cut in a style that suits you- most men suit tapered or skinny.
A timeless watch:
Mind the pun, but a great watch should be able to take you from the office to drinks. Bonus points if it has an interchangable watch band, so you can experiment with leather bands or something more casual.
A tailored dark suit:
Formal occasions are likely to spring up without any warning, so why not invest in a tailored dark suit (preferably navy) that has you covered for all things formal? You can utilise the jacket or pants separately for less formal occasions.
Shoes to dress up or down: Whether a boot or lace up, brown or black, make sure this shoe can go nicely with your jeans and chinos so you get good wear out of them.
Crisp button downs:
Good for the office and those semi-formal to formal occasions, a button up can be paired with either your jeans, chinos or suit. Notable colours to consider are true blue, white or even denim for more casual outings.
Chinos:
The humble pair of chinos are perfect for when jeans are too casual, but it’s not an event where you want to be wearing a suit, either. It’s important to choose a pair of chinos that are not only well fitted to your shape, but are matched to your skintone, too. You don’t have to stick to khaki either – navy and grey are great options also.
Basic tees:
This goes without saying. Invest in quality cotton tees in staple colours like grey, striped, navy and white.
