For men, this is simple because it doesn’t require quantity just the right baseline to get you started. Esquire produces The Handbook of Style and I love their insights and share them with you often. Recently, I conducted a corporate training session on “Dressing for Your Corporate Climb” and here’s one of the tips I shared with the men around wardrobe basics:
- 5 shirts
- 4 ties
- 3 suits {your first should be navy or grey, then the other and then a summer suit}
- 2 pairs of shoes {ever shoe needs a least a day of rest, so during its downtime use cedar shoe trees}
- 1 overcoat
It’s that easy! From there, the world is yours ~ add your personal style with bowties, fancy shirts and dress slacks, etc. But you’ve got to start with the basics….
