The Best of The World Wide Web

The fashion industry is infamous for changing its mind before a trend even becomes a trend. What looks popular today can easily be out of style next week, which leaves you with a closet full of clothes that risk social ostracizing if brought out into the daylight again. However, there are several items that have survived many fads and will continue to do so. Below is a short list of pieces that every man should own so they are not caught without a decent thing to wear.

Jeans – Jeans are no stranger to the fashion industry and often find themselves changed drastically to appeal to the masses. However, you need a solid base in order to have a timeless fashion item, and jeans are definitely at the top of that short list. Underneath the acid burns and patchwork lies a classic, straight-legged pair of blue jeans that every man should wear with pride. While we’re on the topic, its always better to have your jeans look a bit longer than shorter. They’ll most likely shrink a bit after a few washes and hot dries, so its best to have a bit of slack so you don’t look like a teenager growing out of their clothes.

The Polo – Although still popular now, the classic polo shirt (also known as the golf shirt) is the perfect blend of casual and formal for those questionable attire times. Not only is this piece a timeless shirt, but its also one of the most versatile. A modestly-colored polo shirt is acceptable at an informal beach get-together or, when paired with some nice dress pants, perfect for a fancy dinner out.

Dress Shirts – A bit more formal than your average polo, the dress shirt is still versatile enough to be worn in or out of the office. The added bonus of your average button-up dress shirt is that it is not just accepted in almost any environment, but you can wear it in so many ways: with a suit and tie, sleeves rolled up, unbuttoned, tucked in or out, etc. This makes it the perfect blank canvas to build your wardrobe on. Of course, we’re talking about actual dress shirts, not the short-sleeved plaid button-ups that plague many closets. These casual styles have definitely seen their day in fashion and should be traded in for a nice golf polo.

If creating a timeless look is your goal, then you will most certainly benefit from adding these items to your wardrobe. Whether worn alone or part of a look, you will always find a reason to throw one of these on for many years to come.
