We all have our own styles, some prefer classic looks and some prefer to wear looks right off the runway. Within a couple, the tastes can vary drastically. For example, I love classic shirts tucked into jeans and idolize 1950s Dior silhouettes. My man, however, embraces the “college chic” look, and has a closet riddled with tech t-shirts and a pair or two of jeans. That’s totally okay, I secretly adore his little closet–including the “You like this” t-shirt with a FaceBook thumbs up that he wore on our first date.
But, how do you ensure that your man looks good when you both go out? How do you help to build his closet? It’s simple. Start with the basics, like this street look from Berlin fashion week. The looks don’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the piece of clothing, the easier it is to incorporate it into several different looks. Here, for example, the man’s navy blazer can go over any shirt and be worn at any time, his pants can also be worn at anytime–dressed up or down. The white shirt? It can be worn with everything, even as an undershirt or it can be worn to sleep.
A man’s closet needs only a few staples: dress shirts, a suit or two, some casual shirts, a pair of jeans and some good shoes–athletic and dress. After that, feel free to expand on the basics and experiment, though the most important thing is that he feels comfortable and embraces the style.
Tip: Invest in the basics. Great shoes, a dress shirt, suit and a nice pair of jeans, when taken care of, can last for a very long time… Don’t forget the shoe trees!
My advice: Look to your closet to inspire your man’s looks. Love neutrals? See how he looks in a neutral look. You love a certain brand? There’s a good chance that if the same brand manufactures men’s clothes, they’re of the same caliber, and maybe he’ll learn to appreciate them as well. Just remember, the process is not instant, but it’s worth it.
