Attention all guys! Do you Want to look the part in all weather? Want to be part of the crowd? Or are you looking into your wardrobe right now and thinking, “uh..?” Bill Bowkett walks you through the essential fashion items...
Black Jeans
A pair of jeans, whether made of denim or not, are a bit of a fashion Swiss army knife. Wear them with a knitted jumper, tweed jacket or a shirt, jeans always work brilliantly. In my view, the best to buy are either slim/skinny spray trousers or baggy cropped tailored jeans. Jeans should help express your character, so do not be afraid of what people will think of them.
Plain White T
If jeans are a Swiss army knife, then a T-shirt is the knife sharpener. A T-shirt should be the first thing that grabs attention, because all other pieces of clothing are judged in terms of your T; and there's none better than the plain white T. It is simple, cheap and easily replaceable. Go for a looser fit and express yourself with your outfit.
Hoodie
It only seems like hoodies just came out yesterday, but they've been around for decades. Hoodies became a cultural symbol in the 1970s for the hip-hop culture, but now they are just as common as jeans and T-shirts. When buying a hoodie, get one that is a few size bigger for you, as it feels more airy and looks more fashionable.
Designer Shoes
“Nice shoes” are often the first thing people notice. Shoes simply grab attention. Wear them to suit your personality. If you like a rustic look, buy a pair of suede desert boots. But if you like to be more adventurous, go for urban brands, like Converse, Vans or even the rare Yeezys.
Snapback/cap
Many would argue, “Why would you wear a snap back inside, in the dark or in winter?” You wear it because they are damn cool and you are an outgoing person. A snapback may not be for all, so if not get a snug beanie. But do have a go, because it shows that you care about yourself and that you don't follow the crowd.
Backpack and watch
Accessories to show your intentions. A backpack utilize can be used for both school and days out. In addition, a watch would be nice. According to a study, men who wear watches are seen as more intelligent and better groomed. It does not have to be a £5,000 Rolex, Diesel stock affordable slick watches. Or go for the iconic £5 Casio to up your fashion persona.
My best tip though for everything is, go for it. Whatever you like, whatever person you are or whatever sort of person you want to be, wear your fashions with style and panache.
