There is a way to stick to your style and look sharp while working with the basic guidelines on the essentials for your closet.Here\u2019s what to start shopping for:A classic suit in charcoal, black or navyChoose a solid color or a pattern that will stand the test of time, making this suit the correct choice for any need, such as job interviews or special events that include weddings and funerals. It\u2019s a can\u2019t-go-wrong option.4 coordinated dress shirtsA basic white, two color-coordinated shirts and a pattern that matches the suit, giving guys the flexibility to alter the appearance while still keeping it simple.2 tiesTwo ties will provide the same versatility that you seek when you vary your shirt selection. Make sure that the ties can be worn with at least two of the above dress shirts.A sport coat or blazerA quality sport coat or blazer balances your style for a dressed-up look that doesn\u2019t require a full suit. Again, it\u2019s important to match this piece of clothing with your shirts and ties, keeping your look consistent, yet different.2 pairs dress pantsThese will work with your sport coat or for even less formal occasions with one of your dress shirts or a sweater are appropriate.A pair of dress khakisSimple, understand and classic khakis are standard wear that will serve you for years.Three sport shirtsAs with everything else, these pieces should tie back into the group, providing value and extending the diversity of your wardrobe.One dress sweater and one causal sweater\/quarter zipThese are for layering over shirts.A nice pair of jeansThis pair of jeans could become your favorite, but they\u2019re not for days on the couch or working outside. Restrict them only for a relaxed look and pair with the sport coat when appropriate.A dress beltThis accessory, like the jeans, are for use only when wearing the suit or blazer. A belt will last for years if you don\u2019t wear it out with everyday wear.Two casual belts, one black and one brownHere are your everyday belts.Black dress shoesBulletproof, quality dress shoes are a must to round-out your suit for formal occasions.Brown business casual shoesThese complement your outfit for dress or casual events.This is a no-nonsense approach to updating your closet and feeling good about the way you look in every imaginable scenario.
