When it comes to fashion, everyone has infinite choices. You can look exactly the way you see yourself in your mind, and no one should tell you what to do with yourself. But, if you think about it, there are outfits you should leave for casual Fridays and your personal time, because while in office, you’d want to achieve a certain appearance which will create a certain image for you in time. Being a true professional isn’t something that just comes with some habits you adopt, but it also arrives with the way you reflect those habits on the way you look. Let’s see which essentials should be in your closet in order to get this right.
Plaited Belt
Why should you satisfy your needs with classical plane old belt that has been out there for years now? Sure, this type of belt is an absolute must have when it comes to suiting-up, but when you don’t have to look like a million bucks, you can allow yourself to be playful, right? Plaited belts are the right way to go – they carry a certain attitude, but they still allow you to look professional.
Straight-Leg Jeans
This is one type of denim pants which will never go out of style. Yes, we had our fun with skinny jeans, but enough is enough. Picking out a model like this says about your style more than you think – it says you’re done experimenting, and that you don’t have to attract attention wearing something tight and uncomfortable because your strong personality will achieve that for you!
Stylish Bow Tie
Similar to plaited belts, this is a fun item which can give your outfit some personality. It’s not necessary to go with something orange or green if that doesn’t make you feel comfortable. But, wearing a model that matches your style will look casual and elegant at the same time.
White Button-Downs
If you haven’t heard, minimalism is back again!
Messenger Bag
Bags for men aren’t a taboo any more, but most of you still decide not to wear them. This happens because you haven’t found a style that agrees with your comfort, which is why I decided to select this item as one of the essentials. There’s nothing girly about it, it comes in bold colors and it will fit every single thing you need during the day. The only thing left is for you to realize that your notebook can’t fit your pockets, after which you’ll discover this bag as the best thing that ever happened to you.
Denim Jacket
Nothing shows off a bad boy style better than denim, and you’ll be happy to know that it’s back again! This is another item that you probably already have somewhere hidden in your closet, so you won’t have to spend any additional money on getting one.
Simple Blazer
When you’re indecisive whether you should suit up or choose a more casual outfit, which happens a lot amongst men, you’ll be very glad for having this item to save you. A simple blazer will look good with jeans, plaited belts and a bow tie, which were all mentioned earlier, and the best of all is that you don’t have to get one in black – go with something in navy or gray, and be sure that you simply can’t make a mistake.
With these items in your closet, which are all so simple to combine with practically anything, you’ll be able to save a lot more time which you’d normally spend on dressing up. Even though I believe men should enjoy clothes more, it’s not like someone can force you into that. So, for every item you’re about to pick out, check if it makes you feel comfortable, and that’s the only guideline you’ll ever need!
