Fashion On A Budget For Men This Autumn
Yep, it's doom and gloom everywhere these days when you listen to the financial news - no matter which side of the Atlantic you are on - so its important to spread around these great tips for planning your autumn wardrobe as they can save you lots of dosh.
There's A Lot To Be Said For Basic Items!
It's the same for men and women - buy nice quality, reasonably priced basic wardrobe items - you know ones that aren't likely to shrink in the wash the first time they go in the machine (buying too cheaply can be a false economy)and these can be dressed up with a few select items which you may already own, can be purchased from a vintage or charity shop or you could ask mum and dad/girlfriend/favourite auntie to buy you for your birthday, Christmas etc.
Look out for ....
- Plain polo shirts and v-neck t-shirts.
- Chino's which can be worn with the above for a smart, but casual look.
- Plain but elegant leather belts - not everything needs to have a logo.
- Simple v-neck, long sleeved knitted sweaters.
- Casual shirts in simple designs - no outragous patterns that everyone will recognise is from a certain store.
Accessorise with ....
- A smart casual jacket. This is something that can be worn with jeans, but in many places now (unless you are a city trader - in which case you may soon be out of a job!) can also be worn with smart casual pants to work as well.
- Leather shoes - you will have your own preference, but a nice pair of loafers go great with both jeans or chinos. See Tips for Men No 1: How To Choose The Best Shoes For Your Style.
