A List of What I Wish Every Man Had in His Wardrobe
1. A Fedora
2. Exceptionally well-fitting, dark-wash jeans
3. A casual blazer
4. Dark socks–the fewer the white socks in a man’s possession, the better
5. Fitted tees in dark colors
6. A black belt but not the karate kind
7. Dress shoes that can be worn comfortably with dark jeans
8. Pocket squares. Oh, do I fall for the man who wears these in the breast pocket of his suit. Perhaps this stems from my love of the Rat Pack, TCM, and everything old-fashioned, but these accessories are sumptuous.
9. Casual button-downs with the sleeves rolled-up. There’s something classy and yet sexily disheveled about a dress shirt dressed down.
10. A great hair cut. Whether it’s Clark Gable or more recently, Leonardo DiCaprio’s long, classic cut or Paul Newman’s rugged, messy locks, it’s got to be good.
11. A black suit, yet charcoal grey and navy are perhaps even sexier.
12. A black dress shirt to be worn with the dark-wash jeans. This is clean-cut yet semi-casual, mysterious, and irresistible.
13. A masculine, silver-colored watch. Cell phones may have rendered these functionally unnecessary but a man who wears one on his wrist seems to imply he’s busy enough to still need a clock in his view at all times.
14. Effin AWEsome ties.
15. Khaki or black chinos.
