Tops
Something that everyone needs in their wardrobe are tops, of course! You’re not going to get very far without your top on, at least not in polite society. So, you’ve got to choose the tops that suit you, that feel the best, and that make you feel like you look amazing. Here are some of the things we think are necessary for this.
Plain T-shirts
Who doesn’t have plain t-shirts in their wardrobe? These are perfect for when you need a casual top for your outing, or to wear underneath a pullover when the weather calls for it.
Casual Button Down Shirts
The casual button down is severely underrated but looks incredible in all kinds of scenarios. We’ve yet to see someone rock one of these who doesn’t look both amazing and chilled.
Long Sleeved Smart Shirts
Lastly on the tops, long sleeved smart shirts. Slightly different from the casual button down but along the same lines, these shirts are more for your business needs or formal occasions rather than your everyday wear.
Bottoms
The opposite of tops – bottoms! Or, trousers as they are also known. Both men and women need some sort of bottoms to complete their look, and it depends on what you’re going for as to what kind you should wear.
Chinos
Chinos rose to popularity as a men’s go-to option for both business and casual wear. But, these days they are also a great fit for women too, so don’t let where they started put you off. Generally, mens chinos focus on that slim fit which does wonders for women just as much.
Jeans
A staple in the wardrobe of pretty much anyone, jeans are perfect for the majority of casual occasions that you can think of. Comfortable and yet also stylish, they compliment anything you want to wear on the top whether it’s a button down, a t-shirt, or a blouse and blazer combo.
Skirts
Of course, you’ve then got skirts. More flowy, less restricted, and generally found to be more comfortable than trousers, they’re a great alternative to have in your wardrobe.
Layers
Hoodies
Looking for a casual layer to wear on its own or underneath a jacket, then a hoodie is just what you need. These are cozy and go great with jeans when you are just heading out to the pub or meeting friends in town.
Trench Coat
Trench coats are wonderful when it isn’t cold but you still need an extra layer, they aren’t too thick that you will overheat. Men and women can invest in trench coats and they can really compliment any outfit you wear.
Shoes
Boots
Boots can make for a great autumn/winter shoe. They are not only comfy but they are warm as well. Make sure you know a little about boots as there are a few different styles and varieties. Chelsea boots make for a great choice to wear for work and with casual wear.
Loafers
Do you need to dress smart for work? If so, then a pair of loafers is just the shoe you need. They will go with most outfits including chinos, suits, and skirts. They typically come in black which makes it easier to wear with your work outfits.
Trainers
Something else you need to have in your closet is a pair or two of trainers. You will use these the most, especially if you have more dress down or casual days. You may use them to meet friends or go out for a run.
Accessories
The great thing about accessories is that now both men and women can wear them. There was once a time when accessories were mainly aimed towards women, however, designers then realized men needed items to compliment outfits as well. Aside from the common item cufflinks there are other accessories that you might need.
Necklaces
There are some gorgeous necklaces out there nowadays and you can get them in all different colors to compliment your outfits. You can also get them in any particular interests you have, for example crosses or animals.
Rings
Everybody loves rings, be it men or women. You will often find that womens rings are far daintier than mens, these are more chunky and made with thicker metals. Rings can now be worn on any fingers you want, it is no longer just ring fingers that contain rings. You can get rings for pinky fingers and middle fingers.
Watches
Finally, when it comes to accessories there is one thing that you will need. A watch will always be there to tell you the time of day. You might assume that you can just check your phone to tell the time but what if that isn’t on your person at any given time. When you are in a meeting, a quick glance down at your watch will reassure you that it is nearly lunch time or home time!
