The best wardrobe basics every man needs
A great outfit starts with a solid foundation. Basics are the backbone of your wardrobe: timeless, versatile, and always stylish. But which pieces truly belong in every modern man’s closet? In this blog, we list the must-haves – with smart styling tips. ✔️
1. The white T-shirt – your style anchor ⚓
A high-quality white T-shirt is the ultimate essential. Wear it solo with jeans, layered under a shirt, or beneath a sweater.
✅ Go for slightly heavier fabric (less see-through) ✅ Choose straight or slim fit, depending on your build

2. The polo – polished yet relaxed 👌
A polo shirt strikes the perfect balance: sharper than a tee, more comfortable than a dress shirt. Stick to neutral colours like navy, white or beige for easy pairing.
✅ Ideal for work, weekends and travel
