Men need fashion, too. The dime store look just won’t cut it today, so here are a few fashion tips to make sure you look your best for any occasion.

For starters, buy a magazine and see what’s hot today. You’ll need a few items and accessories that indicate you are aware of the world around you. However, you don’t have to spend bundles of money to do it. There are some basics that are timeless.

Versatile Shirts

Plaid shirts with a hint of Western appeal are in, so pick up a few of those. They won’t go with everything, but they’ll be perfect for casual days and fun nights. To get the most mileage out of your shirts, add these to the inventory:

• A solid color or neutral shirt that would look good with or without a tie
• Basic tees without prints
• A few shirts with long sleeves – because it’s more formal in a fast pinch

Necessary Accessories

A solid mens clothing wardrobe can be easily dressed up or down with the right accessories. This includes belts, watches and sunglasses.

• Purchase a simple belt that allows you to change the buckle for the occasion.
• Purchase a formal watch, a sports watch and then some fun watches for going out.
• Purchase sunglasses for sports, style and parties. Men’s shades are much more flamboyant than they used to be.

From the Waist Down

Finally, purchase some chinos because they can go business or casual. Also, buy some good quality jeans because they’ll last longer. With these few basics, you can go a long way in revolutionizing your wardrobe.
