1. Choose the Right Tees

Most guys wear tees on the regular, but let’s face it, some shirts look sharper than others. When you’re out there shopping, there are a few ways to know if you have one of the best t-shirts for men. First, make sure your tee is made of a soft and durable fabric. Some of the most comfortable ones out there include a cotton-poly fabric blend. You may also look for a luxe yet sustainable mix of organic cotton and modal. 

Next, look for a shirt with a side seam. That makes the tee look crisp and stylish when you wear it on its own. You’ll also look good when it’s layered with a button-down.

Some dapper t-shirt styles for men include crew necks and v-neck shirts. If you’re looking for something different, try a pocket tee or short sleeve henley. These styles pair well with all kinds of bottoms, from chino pants to jeans. In the spring and summer, they’ll even help to elevate your shorts. 

2. Wear Black 

The color black is cool and confident. Wear a black v-neck shirt and you’ll look self-assured and sharp. Match your tee with a classic pair of denim jeans and white leather sneakers. When it’s cool outside, add layers to a black crew neck t-shirt. A plaid flannel shirt or solid-colored button-down always looks fresh with a crew neck. Add camel-colored chinos or a pair of colorful slim-fit pants to complete your look. 

Leather jackets add an edge, while a denim jacket can make the black v-neck appear even more classic.

More timeless black clothes for guys include solid black hoodies and crisp black shorts. Choose a pair that fits just above the knee for a sleek and modern style. Accessorize with black glasses or sunglasses. If you’re traveling, go with a black cross-body bag.

3. Wear White 

On the other side of the spectrum is white clothing for men. The bright, clean feel of a white tee is sure to make you look sharp. Start with a white v-neck or crew neck shirt. It’ll stand out with everything from patterned shorts to indigo denim.

If you want a simple and classic look, match your white tee with a well-fitting pair of black jeans. Finish your outfit with black aviators featuring golden temples or brow bar accents. On the other hand, white pants can make a colorful crew neck stand out. They also make an excellent base for a patterned button-down. A white blazer will instantly elevate your look, while a pair of white low-top sneakers will always make your clothing more classic.

Keep yourself looking fresh and stylish with a white polo shirt. Shop for one with ladder stitching at the waist hem and sleeves so it stays looking crisp. Other timeless white pieces for men include white henley shirts and hooded long-sleeve shirts.

4. Consider Color 

Now that you know how to wear black and white, it’s time to add a little color to your wardrobe. Some of the sharpest shades for men include navy blue and garnet. If you like green, go with a more unique shade like ivy or emerald. Olive and military green pair well with brown pants or khakis.

Stand out in a bold color like agave or amethyst. These shades look especially attractive as a crew neck or v-neck tee. A vibrantly colored polo or button-down shirt will look sharp with a crisp pair of white pants. Or choose a bright hue like mint green or a rich red for a party or vacation or whenever you’re feeling spicy.

More currently fashionable color choices for men include wedgewood and brown tortoise. Don’t forget soft blue shades like sky blue and mist. When choosing colors for your outfit, always match bold shades with neutral clothing. That way, your pieces won’t clash and your style will look flattering instead of busy. Consider some of the most timeless men’s color combos, including navy and white or brown and cream. Avoid an unattractive mix like purple and yellow or black and brown. 

5. Learn How to Layer 

Layering seems easy, but it’s an art. You can do it during any season if you know the basics, though it’s surely more of a go-to for fall and winter. Begin with a lightweight shirt. Try a cotton-poly crew neck or a v-neck with a blend of modal fabric and organic cotton. 

Once you have your sharp-looking first layer, pick a layer in a classic color and add it on top — for instance, a button-down shirt matches well with a soft cardigan or a long-sleeve crew neck can be topped with a vest and worn with a pair of pants like chinos.

Be sure to place darker colors on the outside to give your outfit more depth and style. Finally, check that each element works on its own. This will help keep your look sharp in case you have to remove a layer.

Looking Sharp and Stylish in Men’s Essentials 

With the right men’s essentials, it’s easy to look sharp and stylish. A soft and durable crew neck or v-neck shirt offers a solid foundation for everything from button-down shirts to bulky layers. When elevating your look, it’s always important to choose the right colors. White and black will always look fresh and clean, but you can incorporate a variety of vibrant shades for your shirts, pants and jackets.

Finally, be sure your outfits fit well and make you feel comfortable. Quality fabric, durable threads and a flattering, comfy fit will help you feel more confident, no matter what you’re wearing.
