A FEW GOOD SEPERATE CLOTHING PIECES CAN BE MIXED AND MATCHED TO CREATE DIFFERENT LOOKS. PURCHASED IN NEUTRAL BASIC COLOURS THEY CAN BE TIMELESS IN THEIR DESIGN.
SPEND A BIT MORE ON THESE GOOD VERSATILE PIECES , AND WITH REGULAR WEAR THEY'LL LAST LONGER FOR YOU.
WHITE SHIRT;
A GOOD WHITE COTTON SHIRT I THINK IS NO#1 IN ANY WARDROBE. IN PLAIN OR CLASSIC SELF STRIPED, A GOOD CUT, AND WITH A GREAT COLLAR( NOT TO SOFT). IT CAN BE WORN HANGING OUT OVER JEANS ,SHORTS ,CASUAL TROUSERS, OR TUCKED IN WITH DRESS PANTS.A WHITE SHIRT NEVER DATES AND GOES WITH ANYTHING. DRESS UP UNDER A SUIT YOU CAN ADD COLOUR AND INDIVIDUALISM WITH TIES TO CREATE DIFFERENT LOOKS.
JEANS;
TAKE TIME WHEN PURCHASING JEANS. IMPORTANT TO PURCHASE A GREAT FIT THAT COMPLIMENTS YOUR BODY SHAPE.IF YOU ONLY WANT ONE PAIR OF JEANS CHOOSE A DARKER WASH AS MORE VERSATILE. THEY CAN BE WORN FOR DAY CASUAL WEAR OR AT NIGHT DRESSED UP WITH A FASHION SHIRT, OR WORN WITH A T/SHIRT OR SHIRT UNDER A JACKET.
JACKET;
A TRADITIONAL NAVY BLAZER OR THESE DAYS BLACK , IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY WARDROBE.WORN CASUAL , OR WITH ANY COLOUR TROUSER SHIRT AND TIE, FOR DRESS OR BUSINESS WEAR. THESE STRONG COLOURS BLEND WELL WITH OTHER NEUTRALS AS WELL AS COMPLIMENT PASTEL AND BRIGHT SHADES . HANDY WHEN TRAVELLING, AS CAN WEAR INSTEAD OF SUIT .A SHARP LOOKING JACKET IN A GREAT STYLE WILL LAST MANY YEARS.
DRESS TROUSERS;
EVEN IF YOU DONT DRESS UP OFTEN THEY'RE ALWAYS HANDY TO HAVE ON HAND, FOR WEDDINGS, COCKTAIL PARTIES OR INTERVIEWS.IF IN A GOOD QUALITY FABRIC THEY WONT FADE, AND IF PROPERLEY CONSTUCTED , THERE WILL BE ALLOWANCE FOR WAIST ADJUSTMENT. PURCHASE IN A GOOD BASIC COLOUR AND THEY WILL COMPLIMENT ANY COLOUR SHIRT OR ACCESSORY.
POLO SHIRT;
ON A CASUAL WORK DAY ITS SMARTER THEN A T/SHIRT. ON WEEKENDS DRESS WITH SMART SHORTS OR WITH A WITH CASUAL COTTON TROUSERS OR JEANS. IF NOT SURE IF YOUR SURPOSE TO BE A BIT DRESSED OR NOT, WEAR WITH SOME LINEN TROUSERS AND JACKET. AGAIN STAY WITH NATURAL COOL FABRICS, THEY LAST LONGER AND FEEL BETTER TO WEAR. PIMA COTTONS IN KNIT FABRICS WONT FADE.
A SUIT;
A SINGLE BREASTED SUIT WILL NEVER DATE. ALWAYS GET PROPERLY FITTED, THE SUIT WILL LOOK SHARPER. A MAN ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD IN A WELL CUT SUIT. IN A FINE WOOL THE DRAPING IS SOFTER AND COMPLIMENTATY TO ALL BODY SHAPES. A SUPER FINE WOOL IS EASIER TO LOOK AFTER AND WILL WEAR BETTER OVER TIME. NAVY WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED THE MORE VERSATILE OF COLOURS THOUGH THESE DAYS AS LONG AS YOU STAY WITH A DARK COLOUR INCLUDING BLACK OR DARK GREY . THESE COLOURS NEVER DATE, CAN BE WORN FOR A VARIETY OF OCCASSIONS, AND ARE VERSATILE WHEN CHOOSING SHIRT AND TIE COLOURS. WITH A CHANGE OF SHIRT AND TIE YOU CAN CREATE MANY INDIVIDUAL LOOKS THAT EXPRESS YOUR OWN PERSONALITY.
ACCESSORIES;
A GOOD LEATHER SHOE THAT CARRIES YOU FROM SMART CASUAL TO DRESS WEAR, IN A CLASSIC BLACK OR BROWN. COMPLIMENTED WITH A LEATHER BELT MID WIDTH IS VERSATILE WITH CASUAL OR DRESS WEAR. IN THE SAME TONING AS YOUR SHOE THESE ACCESSORIES WILL FINISH OFF AN OUTFIT.IF ONLY ONE TIE BUY SOMETHING THAT EXPRESSE'S YOUR PERSONALITY, WITH COLOURS THAT COMPLIMENT A RANGE OF SHIRTS. A GOOD SILK TIE WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER KNOT.
