This means that they come in endless varieties of colours and styles, all of which working in their own particular way. However, if you’re trying to wear an truly classic hoodie style, then a grey hoodie is always going to be a winner.

6 - Tailored Suit

A suit that actually fits you!  If you own only one suit, ensure 1) it fits, 2) its dark in color, and 3) its timeless in style.  To ensure proper fit, first, learn what it is and then find a tailor who can alter your suit.  Dark colors are important as they are the most formal and are more versatile than lighter shades. You need at least one suit, preferably in navy or gray.

7 - Black/Brown Dress Shoes

Shoes are usually the first part of an outfit to catch other people's eye, so it is very important to have a solid rotation. With a nice pair of dress shoes alone, you can elevate your style immensely. A pair of formal black shoes will carry you through the most formal of events – black tie, weddings, funerals and job interviews.

8 - Signature Scent

Fragrance is an invisible part of our personal style, and it has a powerful effect on how people see and remember you.
A good cologne offers numerous benefits, from making you more attractive, to helping you feel less stressed and more confident.

9 - Good Headphones

Headphones now come in a wide variety of species, and it’s not unusual to own different headphones for different purposes. Traditional headphones come in on-ear and over-ear versions, which is mainly a matter of taste. Open-backed versions let more sound in and out, which suits home use. Closed-back versions are better for commuting.

10 - Pair of Chinos

This item we can talk with a property. Chinos are the wardrobe’s reliable all-rounder. They are menswear’s multipurpose tool, definitely, a must have pant for any guy looking to up their style game. Chinos are the one style of trouser that is as good a fit with a T-shirt and sneakers as a shirt, blazer and brogues. Which means, if you happen on the perfectly fitting pair, you should snap up several pairs in different colours. ;)

13 - Serious Watch

First, consider the main use of your watch: is it for professional wear? Evening wear? Weekend wear? There are watches that may be worn on most occasions, but as a rule of thumb think of the dial and the strap.

14 - Grooming Kit

For a modern stylish man, grooming himself is a crucial aspect of his life. Just like the man with clean hands and feet will give out his sense of cleanliness, there are other parts of your body that say a lot about you. Here is what you must have in your grooming kit so as to be called a well-groomed man: Hair Styling Product, Shower gel, Trimmer, Shaving Products, Body Wash, Face Wash, Deodorant, Exfoliating Scrub, Hydrating Moisturizer, Lip balm, Mouthwash, Toothbrush, Nail clipper, etc…

15 - Leather Gloves

Last but not least: Leather Gloves. It’s true that the leather gloves costs several times more than the retail price of cheap gloves, it is not just that: Cheap gloves are stiff. You can’t really feel anything and they limit the range of movement. On the other hand, a quality glove is soft, stretchy and it looks very elegant when it’s on your hand.
