Business style in a men's wardrobe

“Basic wardrobe” - these two words seem to haunt both men and women lately. Everyone strives to tell us what should be in every person's wardrobe, but no one really explains what kind of animal it is. We will explain.

The basic things are often called classic cut in neutral shades. But this is not true. Basic items are the skeleton of your wardrobe, in short - basic clothes in your closet. And it can be completely different.

For some, these will be business suits, shirts and ties, and for others, sneakers and jeans.

How is a basic wardrobe made?

The first thing you should understand when making a base is your lifestyle. Where and how long are you during the week, month, year? If 80% of your time is occupied by work, then there should be the most clothes in your closet for work. Let's say on weekends you go to the mountains, go out of town with your family, or arrange meetings with friends. For each of these occasions, you also need the right clothes, but since you devote one or two days a week to these activities, it means that there should not be many things in the wardrobe that are appropriate for the occasion.

The next step is to define your style. If you are a big boss or work in a company with a strict dress code, it makes sense that the basis of your wardrobe will be classic business suits, ties, shirts and matching shoes. But if you are an athlete, or a designer, or a business owner who does not expect you to be in the office, your style of clothing will be completely different, and therefore the base will also be.

The next thing to consider is the peculiarities of the climate in which you live. If you live in a country where spring is cool enough, don't rely on Californian fashionistas lookbooks. There you will not find anything useful for yourself.

And last but not least, your preference. Choose clothes within your style, in which you will feel confident and comfortable.
