JUST A FEW EASY PIECES

Whether you have just landed your first “serious” job, or have been working for some time, wardrobe building is alive, well, and an on-going process. Spending well on products with quality, integrity and honest value is spending wisely, and well worth it in the long run.


The suit. If you wear a suit to work most days, you need at least three. Navy and grey are essential and a subtle pinstripe is suitable for the third.

The dress shirt. The shirt really pulls your look together. Make sure you have at least five shirts, and one should be a crisp white. Vary the styles, colours and patterns to for different looks. Try French cuffs for an impressive upscale flair and a nice set of links.

The tie. You’ll need several, but don’t worry, there’s no shortage of options. Start with five and build from there. Yes, the tie should coordinate with the shirt and suit, but try not to overdo the patterns. A striped suit works best with a solid coloured shirt and a patterned tie. For a solid colour suit, you can pair a patterned shirt with a patterned tie.

The sports coat. A classic essential. From casual Friday to an anniversary dinner, a sports coat in a neutral colour can be paired with a light knit sweater or polo shirt, trousers or jeans.

The dark blue jean. You will get more wear out of your jeans than any other piece in your wardrobe—perfect for poker night, date night or watching your daughter play soccer.

The polo. A step above that old t-shirt, but miles above in style. Try layering them for added impact and don’t be afraid of colour.

The sweater or cardigan. Get rid of your old university sweater and replace it with a light knit sweater or cardigan. You can dress it up with a collared shirt underneath and sports jacket, or dress it down with a coordinating t-shirt and jeans.

The topcoat.Worn over a suit or paired with a stylish sweater and jeans, a knee length topcoat will get you through winter with ease. Go for black, grey or camel.

The casual coat.A jean, leather jacket, or trench coat are always in fashion. Try all three and pick a favourite, but keep the trendiness to a minimum for maximum longevity.
