1. Every man needs at least one classic suit. The two most classic color suits to have is navy blue and charcoal gray. My husband actually only has 3 suits he wears on a regular basis. He owns dark navy, khaki, and gray suits. When you are buying a suit, make sure it is tailored to fit your husband's body. I've never seen a suit look sharp right off a rack! My favorite suit on my husband is his navy suit!
2. Every man needs white and light blue dress shirts. The backbone for any man's dress wardrobe, is white and light blue dress shirts. My mom teases my husband that all of his shirts are blue, white, or white with blue. But, he has those colors because that's what's classic. We both follow the same principle in not buying clothes that will go out of style. My husband just recently found out about Natty Shirts. They are VERY affordable custom made shirts. I am very excited to know I can get him shirts made and not worry about the fit anymore! Right now, Natty Shirts is having free shipping and a deal when you buy 5 shirts, you get the 6th free! Here's my husband sporting his new Natty Shirt.
3. Every man needs classic ties. Throw out those cheesy ties! The Christian bookstore is not the place to buy your ties! Classic ties are NOT that expensive. My husband gets most of his ties from TJMaxx, Marshalls, or Ross. They always have brand-named ties for $9.99-$14.99. I love this polka dot tie, my husband is wearing.
4. Every man needs sharp casual clothes. Even when you're not in the office or in church, your clothes still speak for you. Instead of wearing light denim, wear dark-wash denim, instead of wearing t-shirts, wear polo shirts. Instead of wearing tennis shoes, wear nice causal shoes. Here's an example of a sharp casual look for a man.
Great post - I love getting tips for men's style. Thanks for the info on those custom dress shirts. My husband has wanted a few of those for a while but hesitated because of the cost. I will definitely check out that site!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on the natty shirts. My hubby wears a dress shirt everyday, so we are always interested in new brands to try.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know your husband was a preacher. That's awesome! He really is a sharp-looking guy. Don't worry, that's a compliment to you! lol
