Good Shoes – A couple of pairs of nice ones will do. Ideally, you want to at least have one pair of casual shoes and one pair of dress shoes. Then, as your budget grows, you’ll want one black pair and another pair to go with browns and neutrals. Baby steps will get you there, my man. Start with classics that won’t go out of style quickly, and then move toward trendier and funkier styles. Do not wear solid white tennis shoes. Ever.

A Jacket – One nice jacket, just in case.  You can wear it to dress up jeans, or add a sweater for that layered “GQ” look.  This also gives us ladies something to go by when we’re going out on the town; when you say “I’m wearing a jacket,” we know you mean business.

Man-cessories – Try not to go overboard on the man jewels.  A nice watch will do.  If you’re the necklace or ring type, wear one (and only one) at a time, unless you are 50 Cent.

Matching Socks – Not only should your socks match each other, but they should also match the rest of your ‘fit.  Only Michael Jackson is allowed to wear white socks with black shoes.

Proper Underwear – We’re not just talking about boxers or briefs here.  Skivvies or commando is up to you, but whatever you do, don’t skip that oft-overlooked men’s fashion staple, the undershirt.  We have no desire to see your chest wisps or your pit stains, we don’t care if you’re from Miami.  Besides, we think wife beater tank tops are sex-ay!

Add these essentials to your tool box.  We’ll be so delighted we don’t have to dress you, you may even get lucky!
