All good capsule wardrobes need to feature a stylish crew-neck knit. This style of jumper suit most men and can be bought in almost every men’s clothing shop.

Blazers are another essential clothing item, perfect for turning a casual look into a more smart-casual ensemble. Wear your blazer over a shirt for work, or wear it over a knit jumper for a more relaxed vibe. The more muted the color of your blazer is, the more wearable it is and the longer you will keep it in your wardrobe.

Tailoring is the key to good dressing. Every man should own at least one suit, and it should be tailored so that it correctly compliments your body shape and height. If you’re on a budget and are buying a suit off-the-rack, ensure that the shoulders and chest fit as best as possible as this area is the most expensive to tailor.

Plain white t-shirt

A plain white t-shirt should never be underestimated; it is the single most effective and stylish piece of clothing a man can own. (Think back men’s fashion in 1950s America with the likes of James Dean sporting a simple white t-shirt with some blue jeans to maximum effect.)

Wear a plain t-shirt under a jumper, with a jacket, with a blazer, with jeans, with tailored trousers, with shorts, on holiday, at work, at the gym… Basically, no man’s wardrobe is complete without one (or multiple).

Chinos are the perfect smart-casual trouser. They are a compromise between casual jeans and smart tailored trousers. Depending on your personal taste and style, you can opt for plain chinos in a navy-shade or in black, or you can opt for a bolder shade such as stone, burgundy or green.

Wool overcoat

A wool overcoat or top coat (e.g. a peacoat) is the perfect outwear on a formal occasion. While it may not keep you warm, it’ll certainly look stylish. Wear it over a shirt and trousers or even over a suit during a formal meeting, dinner, party, etc.

Even if you live in warm climes, there will be a point in the year where the temperature drops, the chilly winds hit and the rain begins to fall. In order to stay warm and dry throughout the colder months, you should invest in a good quality weather-proof winter coat like a parka jacket, puffer jacket or bomber jacket.

Patterned shirt

Lastly, every man’s capsule wardrobe should feature a patterned shirt. They can be worn with jeans and look both casual or stylish, and can add a bit of colour to a bland wardrobe. Choose between checked shirts or striped shirts or even shirts with delicate detailing – the options are aplenty.

Conclusion

As long as your wardrobe features the above 10 clothing items you will be ready for any occasion. Customise with shoes and accessories of your choice, and you’ll be stylish all-year-round.
