Men’s Clothing and Accessories that Will Stand the Test of Time

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Fashions come and go, but there are some items that will always be a staple within our wardrobes.

These are often worth spending more on. So we thought we’d take a look at these top essentials, explaining why it’s worth splurging a little more cash, for example from Orvis, for men’s clothing must-haves.

1. Jeans

These are something you turn to in your hour of need when nothing else seems to fit, look right or feel comfortable enough.

If jeans ever go out of fashion, we’ll eat our hats.

A good pair of jeans is practically indestructible and can be teamed with a plethora of other items to create a wide range of outfits. From casual get-ups to fabulous night-out-on-the-town outfits, jeans will never let you down. Simply find a pair that fit you perfectly, opting for classic cuts that won’t date.

2. Blazers and Jackets

These essentials are also hugely helpful when you’re trying to take an outfit from drab to fab. Sling a jacket or blazer over your shoulder and you’ve instantly added a smarter touch to your ensemble. Plus, with so many cool designs available, from country-style tweed to sleeker designs, you can really have fun with these must-haves.

3. Suits

Whether you’re heading to a wedding or want to look dapper at work, suits are going to play an important role in your wardrobe. And the key to getting your suit shopping right (especially when you’re spending a little more on one) is to avoid items that are really on-trend.

Why?

These will likely date and you won’t get your money’s worth. Stick to classic cuts and enhance them with on-trend accessories, shirts, tops, shoes and so on.

4. Designer Sunglasses

Some style items are worth the investment and designer sunglasses are one of those. A nice set of sunglasses can last years and be used over and over, summer after summer. Whilst the main designs are Ray-Ban’s and Oakley, almost every major fashion brand now has a range of sunglasses. Invest in a good set and they will be sure to be the last pair you ever buy, SmartBuyGlasses have hundreds of different styles available.

5. Work Shoes

As well as your suit, your formal shoes will be another classic in your wardrobe. And if you’re going to be wearing them a lot for work, it’s imperative you get them right.

On-trend designs may work here, but don’t forget about comfort. Even though you want to look hip all day long, you’re not going to look so fresh when you’re limping along with a blister or some other heel pain symptoms. Spending a little more on leather shoes that fit well will save your feet – and your style.

6. Winter Coats

Finally, no wardrobe would be complete without something to keep you warm and stylish throughout the winter months. Look for high-quality designs, i.e. the ones that include down fillings as opposed to cheap polyester, and classic designs that’ll last more than just one season.

Designs that will stand the test of time include duffle coats, trench coats and country-style finishes.

All of these items are undoubtedly worth investing in. As they’re classics, you needn’t worry about them falling out of fashion anytime soon – if ever. And with these key pieces, you get what you pay for. Spending a little extra will go a long way towards styling up your wardrobe for many seasons to come.
