<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every well-stocked man&#39;s wardrobe should contain a selection of timeless basics that can be combined in many different ways. Here are ten indispensable essentials that no wardrobe should be without.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most men think more practically when it comes to their clothes. They want them to look good and be comfortable. If the pants fit, they&#39;ll probably buy three of them. Well, that saves a lot of time when you consider that you don&#39;t have to worry about choosing the right outfit in the morning. You also know that the item fits well. The disadvantage is that you look the same every day and there&#39;s still a lot to be gained from that.</span></p><p></p><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dear men, there is a trick that will allow you to dress just as pragmatically and still find your own individual style. <strong>The magic word is <em>basics.</em></strong> They are timeless, classic pieces that are suitable for pretty much any occasion. They can be combined wonderfully and thus bring a personal style.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No.1: The white shirt</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">A white shirt is simply indispensable. It suits every occasion and every type. Whether for formal occasions with a suit or for a casual look with jeans and white sneakers, it is always a safe choice.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 2: The Suit</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Every man needs at least one well-fitting (!) suit in his wardrobe. Neutral colors like black or dark blue can be worn for different occasions. A <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/fashion/suits-you" title="Suits you" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neatly tailored suit</a> is the counterpart to a woman&#39;s little black dress. It makes men look serious, well-dressed and elegant.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 3: The dark jeans</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Why should it be dark jeans? Because they can be combined much better than light jeans. Whether casual or chic, any style is possible. And they can cost a little more. Because high-quality jeans fit well, are durable and do not discolor.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 4: The polo shirt</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Some time ago, the polo shirt was seen as a garment only for elite university students. Now it is making a comeback and that is a good thing. Because we consider the polo shirt to be a basic that every man should have in his wardrobe. It is the classic alternative to a shirt. The comfort of a shirt but with more sporty elegance and sophistication.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 5: The leather jacket</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The leather jacket never goes out of fashion and stands for casual coolness, rebellion and heroism. It is a status symbol in many scenes (bikers, rockers, punks, pilots, bohemians, etc.). A leather jacket is always a good choice and goes well with a T-shirt or sweater, jeans and sneakers.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 6: The white sneakers</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">White sneakers are comfortable and can be combined with pretty much any outfit. And we mean absolutely any outfit. They not only suit a casual street look, but can even be cleverly combined with a white T-shirt or shirt to go with a suit. One thing is important (no matter what look): clean shoes are a must - especially with white sneakers.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 7: Simple T-shirts</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Every man probably has T-shirts in his wardrobe. The best shirts for the basic wardrobe are classic cotton and, above all, plain-colored and without prints or other large, eye-catching decorations. This is the best way to combine them.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 8: Chinos</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Chino pants are timeless and comfortable to wear. They are made of light cotton-based materials. The advantage of these pants is that they have a tailored fit and a stretchy fabric. This makes them comfortable to wear even in summer. Chinos go well with the most occasions, can be combined with casual or formal looks.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 9: Shorts</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Short shorts are a must for warm summer days. If you think that they cannot be worn elegantly and modernly, you are wrong. We do not mean swim shorts either (although these should not be missing from your wardrobe and can be part of your everyday look). Bermuda shorts, linen shorts and knitted shorts fall into this category. They are comfortable to wear even in hot weather and add a touch of chic to any look.</span></p>

Man with shorts

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>No. 10: Tank top</strong></h3><p> <span style="font-weight: 400;">You simply need a tank top. And not just because they are back in fashion. They are much more than just undershirts and should be seen as sleeveless T-shirts with a wide range of uses. Combined with shorts or jeans, under an open shirt or with a leather jacket, they create an overall casual style.</span></p>
