It’s true that you can see and feel the difference in quality. Well-made garments crafted from quality materials often fit better and look better, and they also last longer, providing better value for money. We recommend investing in natural fibres like Merino wool and premium cotton, which feel great to wear. 3. Start with Staples A great way to build a well-rounded wardrobe is to start with core pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless outfits. Like making a capsule wardrobe, start with quality basics in neutral colours. This will make the foundation of your outfits, which you can infuse with your style and favourite pieces. Examples of staple wardrobe items for men include: A white long sleeve shirt: Perfect for smart casual and formal occasions, it pairs effortlessly with suits, blazers or jeans. Chinos: Blue or brown chinos are incredibly versatile trousers that you can easily dress up or down. Well-fitted jeans: Dark-wash jeans in a slim or straight-leg cut are a reliable go-to for casual events. Wool knit jumpers: Knitwear such as a crew neck or half-zip jumper are excellent trans-seasonal pieces that can be worn all year round. A sports jacket: Sports jackets can add sophistication to any outfit, especially for smart casual and semi-formal occasions. Leather shoes: Quality leather shoes can help seamlessly transition from professional settings to more relaxed events. 4. Prioritise Fit Sometimes, it’s not all about what you wear, but how you wear it. Understanding your body shape is crucial for dressing well, ensuring that your clothes complement your physique and enhance your overall appearance. Always buy clothing according to the size guide, or even invest in proper tailoring to ensure your clothes are flattering and accentuate your best features.

Take Proper Care of Your Clothing If you’re investing in staple pieces, it’s important to do your part in maintaining them. Always follow the care labels on your garments, as different fabrics and materials require different care methods. Ultimately, proper cleaning and storage will help prevent damage and extend your clothes’ lifespan to get the most value out of your wardrobe.
