The modern gentleman who likes elegance can make simple fashion look good. But that doesn't necessarily mean stocking up on the latest trends or branded attire. Simple fashion is about how you wear it.
Below, our guide is tailored to help you navigate the world of simple fashion, ensuring elegance and comfort in your everyday wear.
Understanding the Essence of Simple Fashion
Simple fashion is essentially minimalism - less is more. And less can look good. You need items versatile, classic, and of high quality. The focus is on neutral colors, clean cuts, and garments that complement each other. Jeans, a white tee, and a black jacket are simple fashion. Pair it with trainers, and it's more casual. Pair them with loafers and it's more smart casual than casual.
The Power of the Plain Tee
You can't go wrong with a plain t-shirt. It has to be a staple in your wardrobe. You can literally do anything with it. What you wear around it defines the look. Hoodie? Casual. Bomber jacket? Outdoors. Long Chesterfield coat? Smart casual.
The secret to elevating a plain tee into a fashion statement lies in its quality and fit. Opting for t-shirts is a smart move for the fashion-conscious gentleman. Wholesale retailer Wordans gives gentlemen the perfect balance of affordability and quality, stocking renowned brands.
The difference between a branded tee and a non-branded tee is often imperceptible, except for the price tag.
Building a Versatile Wardrobe
Select pieces to mix and match to create multiple outfits. A well-fitted blazer, tailored trousers, and a selection of plain t-shirts are foundational items. Add a couple of button-down shirts, a pair of dark jeans, and classic chinos to the mix. That's pretty much the perfect minimalist wardrobe right there.
Accessorizing with Elegance
Accessories are the finishing touches that'll make your outfit into something more to look at. A quality watch, a sleek belt, and a pair of classic sunglasses can add a touch of sophistication to even the most basic outfit. Remember, the goal is to accessorize subtly - let each piece speak of quality rather than quantity.
Footwear to Complement Your Style
Footwear completely changes an outfit. A pair of well-made leather shoes (think Oxfords or loafers) can add the elegance you're looking for in a simple outfit.
Trainers can also look good. Perhaps the most essential element is making sure your trainers look clean - or maybe you can call them vintage-look trainers.
Layering for Style and Comfort
As we've said, simple t-shirts and jeans won't look good on their own. It's about what you wear around it. Layer with jackets, coats, and jewelry. The right jewelry will make an impact on the look. Simple chains also look really good.
A tailored coat or a quality leather jacket can provide warmth without compromising style.
Invest in quality over quantity. Pick timeless pieces over fleeting trends and understand the power of subtlety. Sometimes a flashy wardrobe doesn't always suit some people - simple fashion is better.
Simple fashion is easy to style if you know what you're doing.
