The elegant man and his basic wardrobe: the 10 essential things

A man should be a gentleman. And a gentleman should be elegant. We should all know how to dress and how to behave, without feeling superior to someone else.

This should be the standard for everyone, from the wealthiest to the least affluent. In this context, I can say that savoir faire and elegance cannot be bought.

However, there are some basic rules that allow you to obtain an impeccable style in every situation. Rules that everyone realizes in their own way, based on personality, and lifestyle.

A valid wardrobe must include a series of basic garments and accessories that can intertwine with each other. The so-called passepartout garments, essential for the gentleman's wardrobe, mandatory for any eventuality, from the pleasure event, to work but also for leisure time.

Below I present a choice of basic items necessary for the creation of a stylish outfit to always be glamorous.

Owning a navy blue hopsak jacket means being always ready for any eventuality. Complete any look, from Tasmanian trousers to jeans, giving that extra touch of class.

Shirt. All of us should have one of particular significance. White in Egyptian cotton poplin Extra Long Staple 140/2, obviously Italian collar. Followed by a classic plain blue or blue striped, button-down oxford collar, perfect preppy style.

Trousers. The basics are two. The first in medium gray Tasmanian, the second strictly khaki in cotton twill. These two trousers are considered evergreen suitable for various combinations always give a chic touch.

The dress. The first to buy must be single-breasted blue in tasmania, as the second you can opt for a classic London smoke single-breasted, always in worsted wool.

Sweater. Crewneck or V-neck in blue and cream. For the cashmere winter, I would like to state that today you can find pure cashmere garments at more than affordable prices. For the summer in pima cotton. I recommend starting with a classic cream cashmere crewneck, while for the summer a classic navy blue V-neck in cotton.

The silk tie is the symbol of masculine elegance par excellence. All men should have at least one in their wardrobe, possibly in a solid burgundy color or with a micro design on a blue background.

The shoes. As for the trousers, the primary ones are two. The classic matte black oxford and the brown loafer moccasin: suede or leather.

The Jeans. Mass phenomenon never goes out of fashion, blue not too washed with a regular cut.

In this case, I leave the option of blue or gray, instead I remain stationary on the cut. The classic single-breasted chesterfield with pocket, not excessively long. This model best represents the tradition of the city coat.

The Jacket Cover. Also in this case I am repetitive, Blue or Sand and depending on the season I recommend two options. The first, the iconic Arctic Parka model, padded with duck down with military hood, high closure and coyote fur profiles. The second for the warmer season is the timeless Saharan Fiel Jacket in cotton, 4 pockets, unlined interior preferably with drawstring or a fake martingale on the back, in order to better shape the fit.

Another garment for the elegant man and his basic wardrobe is the raincoat or trench coat. Ideal for mid-seasons, beautiful with jeans, refined worn over a classic business suit. The recommended colors are always the usual basic ones, currently the blue color prevails over the classic beige butcher's paper.

Thanks to the simplicity of the proposed garments and the practicality of being able to interchange them, there are numerous outfits that a man can build around the items listed above.

To dress well, with elegance and style, only a pinch of imagination is needed since the proposed garments are elementary.

So no trend to be glamorous, the secret is to acquire a series of key objects carefully. Garments and accessories that are established and recognized as true must-haves.

I close with this quote which briefly summarizes these tips:

"Fashion is such an intolerable form of ugliness that we have to change it every six months." Oscar Wilde
