Everyday Wear
Jeans
Blue jeans are a staple in your wardrobe and you need several pair. They will look good when they've just come out of the shop and even when they've been worn for a while. Just don't wear them forever
until they begin to fall apart. Jeans are versatile and comfortable, and can easily be combined with dressier shoes, sneakers, sandals, or loafers to make for a great sporty look. They also look good with a sports
jacket.
White T-Shirts
The basic jeans and t-shirt look is what guys should be trying for when not at work. The white t-shirt and blue jeans ensemble is an extremely simple comination that looks great while remaining
comfortable.
You can wear this combination daily and fit right in everywhere outside of work. You won't stand out as this is the norm. Just be sure to have several of each. And it doesn't have to be
pure white, of course, but can include your favourite logos and/or text.
One Favorite Sweater
Every guy seems to have one sweater that he'll wear again and again, because he feels comfy in it. The good thing about a sweater is that it bails you out when you can't figure out what to wear. There are
many types of sweaters around, so if you don't know which one might look good on you or even suit your style best, try on the different types of sweaters available. Solid black or blue can be substitutes for
suit wear.
Hoodies
The hoodie took off in the 1970s but really gained popularity when high-profile designers embraced and glamorized the new clothing. Tommy Hilfiger, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren, for example, used the hoodie as
the primary component for many of their collections in the 1990s. You need at least one of these for protection from the elements
Sneakers
You probably already own more than one pair of sneakers for workouts or to wear with your favorite blue jeans for knocking about. Wearing clean nice-looking sneakers with jeans or any other type of sporty pants looks
great, and of course they are very comfortable. You need to replace those sneakers occasionally however by purchasing at least one pair of new sneakers a year.

Accessories
Leather Wallet
A leather wallet is a must-have fashion accessory that every man should own. It's practical, long lasting and will look great in both formal and casual occasions. Chosing a black or brown leather wallet is also a
good bet because it blends perfectly with most of your attire and is a classic that will never go out of style.
Watch
Some say that a watch is the only piece of jewelry any man really needs. That was true in days gone by but nowadays it is much less true. Your choice can say a lot about your personality and fashion sense. If
you're limited to one watch, make sure it's one that can be worn both during formal and not-so-formal occasions - like a tastefully designed sports watch.
Jewellry
Wearing a ring is very common and almost every guy these days sports a necklace of one type or another. Try to chose something witha clean simple look. You don't need a chain so large
that you can tow a trailer with it.
