There are a few style essentials that every man should own. Without these your are building a house without foundation. These are items you must have in order to be a stylish male.

A button-up white shirt - This staple of modern style is timeless, you never have to worry that it will be replaced or go “out of style”. It’s the one shirt that you must own in order to call yourself a man.

A designer pair of jeans - More than one pair would be nice, but you can start with one (as long as you wash them regularly). And when I say designer jeans, I don’t mean a pair of Wrangler’s that you bought at Jc Penny with a designer look. Spend the money, this is another item that you’ll never have to worry about going out of style.

A black belt - Another staple of the stylish male. You must ALWAYS wear a belt when you go out. Like it or not, this is just how it goes. Even if you can’t see the belt… wear one!

A brown belt - Like it or not guys, you can’t get by with one belt. I know most of you are under the impression that black matches everything, but you are sadly mistaken when it comes to fashion. Spend the money, get yourself a second belt. Or buy a reversible one that has black on one side, and brown on the other.

Black shoes - I’m not talking tennis shoes here either fellas. You need a nice pair of black loafers or oxfords to wear with your new ensemble.

Brown shoes - Much like belts, shoes don’t match every outfit. And you certainly shouldn’t wear a black pair of shoes with a brown belt. Women will notice 10 out of 10 times. I promise you this.

A 2-Button Suit Jacket - If you don’t have a suit, go buy one. The suit itself will be worth it when it comes to formal or semi-formal events. But the real prize is the jacket. You can wear this just about anywhere as it has become a staple of outerwear in our society. Whether you are going to the nightclub, a theatrical presentation, or your friends birthday party at that trendy restaurant… the jacket will create a classy, yet casual look for you.
