What are staples for a man when it comes to a business wardrobe?
Im thinking about taking a sales job soon.
I have never had a square job.
Ive been doing internet marketing/ecommerce the past few years...so I have no dress clothes.
Going to Suite Supply to get a suit.
I already have a bunch of dress shirts that ive thrifted over the years...and one pair of AE dress shoes.
What else do I need?
A black and brown leather belt
A pair of black shoes and a pair of brown shoes. I recommend the best quality shoes within your budget.
Like someone said earlier, suits in the classic colors. You can start off with navy and grey.
A navy blazer
You can never have enough ties and dress socks and can often find deals on both
A tie clip
A watch
At least 2 classic white shirts
2 classic blue shirt like this:
As many dress shirts as you can buy. If you don't have the money to buy more suits right away, you can get by with just a few suits and the endless combination of dress shirts and ties. That's why you want to stock your business wardrobe with the most classic and versatile items first.
Also, it's a must that you get your suits and blazers tailored. Fit is everything. Get your dress shirts tailored if they don't fit great off the rack and you can afford it.
Always match your belt and your shoes. Match the strap of your watch too if you have watches with black and brown straps.
These are just the essentials. You can just add on overtime. Remember fit is everything. Once you find a good tailor stick with them.
