THE ESSENTIALS

Every man’s wardrobe needs a solid line-up of essentials which form the backbone of great style. Here are ours.

The bomber jacket has appeared in one form or another in men’s wardrobes for generations. Why? No matter how it’s updated each season, the same great utility remains.

A perfect white shirt may be hard to come across, but once found its worth in your wardrobe is limitless. The very best examples are striking in their unassuming design and have the ability to pair well with almost anything.

While the T-shirt often assumes a backseat in a man’s wardrobe, its importance couldn’t be greater. A quality t-shirt with the right cut lays the foundation for style that fits just right.

There’s something undeniably satisfying about finding a knit that feels just as good as it looks. The perfect knit should be soft, sumptuous and have been cut to gently follow the form.

Unlike perhaps any other singular wardrobe item, the suit has the ability to instantly transform not only the way a man looks, but feels. If you make one investment purchase, make it a well-cut suit.

Occupying a middle ground between smart and casual, chinos are an essential thanks to their ability to dress other wardrobe items up or down as required.

While practicality must be the first consideration for outerwear, an overcoat which seamlessly slips over tailoring and off-duty staples alike is a timeless essential which every man should own.
