What Is In A Fashionable Man’s Wardrobe?
Do you remember the days when men’s wardrobe simply consisted of jeans, t-shirts and one hoodie? When the only time that men got dressed up was for a wedding, or if they wore a suit to the office? Those days have long since gone, with many men now having a larger wardrobe than their other halves, not only stacked with clothes, but with box upon boxes of trainers and dessert boots, and acres of accessories, from jewellery to cool sunglasses, to finish their look. Sartorially stylish men like Tom Hiddleston (who always shines on the red carpet), Timothy Chalomet and David Beckham and his ever stylish boys have all shown that a plain wardrobe full of bland pieces just doesn’t cut it in 2022.
So what does your wardrobe need?
Stylish T-Shirts
The simple t-shirt has had quite a resurgence in recent years. It has been a way to support sustainability through your choice of cotton and recycled fabrics, a way to show your politics through your choice of slogan, and a way to show your style in terms of your favourite designers. It can be discreet, with a small logo on display, or it can be flashy, with a front emblazoned with Moschino or Givenchy style logos. Either way, there is nothing simple about a t-shirt any longer.
Jewellery Choices
The days of men merely wearing a signet ring and a Saint Christopher have long since gone, as the likes of David Beckham, Drake and Harry Styles have all made the likes of custom pendants, a Cuban link chain, and leather style bracelets both stylish and popular. Helloice is a premium choice when it comes to finding jewellery specifically designed for the fashion-forward man in your life, stocking a wide range of rings, bracelets and chains that work, either as a gift, or as a treat for yourself.
This season their key picks are tennis chains, particularly those which are the epitome of bling. The hip hop/rap movement has made glittery shiny pieces a status symbol when it comes to men’s jewellery, and the contrast between these chains and a simple t-shirt or roll neck jumper are a real style story, one which always makes an impact, and moves an outfit into the realms of something special.
Jeans
Is there anyone who doesn’t own a pair of jeans? I’m guessing maybe someone sitting in an igloo by the North Pole may make a different choice, but for anyone else, the choice is denim. These days that denim needs to be as distressed, faded or ripped as possible – smart jeans equals staid and your jeans should never say that about you.
