Fashion trends come and go, and some fads have definitely overstayed their welcome. From shoes to hats and everything in between, its quite easy to get caught up in the current trends and feel comfortable from strength in numbers. When the fashion fades, you’ll soon find your closet full of pieces that you can never be seen in public wearing again. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the most timeless fashion statements that should have a place in every mans closet.

Jeans – Jeans are no stranger to the fashion industry and often find themselves changed drastically to appeal to the masses. However, you need a solid base in order to have a timeless fashion item, and jeans are definitely at the top of that short list. Underneath the acid burns and patchwork lies a classic, straight-legged pair of blue jeans that every man should wear with pride. While we’re on the topic, its always better to have your jeans look a bit longer than shorter. They’ll most likely shrink a bit after a few washes and hot dries, so its best to have a bit of slack so you don’t look like a teenager growing out of their clothes.

The Polo – The polo shirt has long been considered the casual, weekender version of the more-structured dress shirt. Its been seen on golf courses and yachts for many years, but has now found a place in the more casual environments. The material may change and the colors are varied, but the basic design and shape of a polo make it the perfect semi-casual (or semi-formal) shirt for any mans closet.

Dress Shirts – When the polo just wont do in a formal setting, the dress shirt is your next piece of timeless fashion. Much like the polo shirt, a well-fitted formal shirt can be amended to accommodate almost any situation. Looking for a casual look after work? Roll up your sleeves and unbutton it a bit to create a sophisticated, yet relaxed appearance. Going out to the fanciest restaurant in town? Button up and find a nice suit and tie to compliment your look. A neutral-colored dress shirt is an essential piece of clothing that you can build so many looks on. When we speak of dress shirts, we are not referring to the short-sleeved counterparts that often sport an unattractive plaid pattern. These shirts have been out of style for quite some time and should remain hidden in your closet, or perhaps traded in for a more sophisticated polo.

If creating a timeless look is your goal, then you will most certainly benefit from adding these items to your wardrobe. Whether worn alone or part of a look, you will always find a reason to throw one of these on for many years to come.
