Now that we know what the basics of the male closet are, what they are and how to identify them, it is time to put them into practice.You can think that having only a dozen essential garments there is a good base, but not much maneuvering capacity.Even use them repeatedly - because they never go out of style - it can be tedious and boring.A white shirt and pants solves a look one day, but dressing every day can end up causing a stylistic marmot day.However, this can be avoided if you rotate the way you mix all the basics - calling to create more than 30 looks with only 9 garments.How to do it?Our basic look will compose three essential parts: one fixed part, another vascular part and an absolutely flexible part, which will be the one that will completely change the appearance.
Pants
The pants will be the fixed piece.Choose one and, from there, we will wear it more or less to adjust to your appointment (the appearance of jeans can change it with a shirt to do it with a shirt).Which to choose?It all also depends on the environment in which you are going to be, it is not the same to go to an office with a supershrestious clothing code than to go from reeds.Select a pants base based on your destination.According to those you choose, the final look will be more or less formal.We could consider the Chinese and the Chinese pants as basic pants, the cowboy being the most relaxed and the most dressed suit (even completing a suit if we throw an American)
Shoes and slippers
Footwear will be the vascular part of the set.Why?The same look can become formal when choosing some shoes and completely transform into informal by adding shoes.What would be the basics in this case?
The moccasins, the nautical and the derby or laces bluchers are the three models that propose the catwalks to move from the absolute reign of the shoes to put their feet again in the most formal footwear of our shoemaker (although these three styles would be inside themost informal shoemaker).
As for the shoes, the basic ones will always be white - which combine with everything -, being those of silhouettes and retro cutting the ones that most last over time thanks to nostalgia.
The above
The top will be the one with the greatest margin of maneuver and combination to exchange the basics and create different looks.This is because, when we treat someone, we look at the face, therefore our margin of vision focuses on the upper frame - chamber, shoulders and even reaching the chest - and calls our attention more.Therefore, by making more accentuated variations in that framework, it will seem that we have different looks working with few basics.
What could we catalog the basics "in this section?The list includes: the shirt - preferably white and without drawings–;the white, blue or pink shirt;The fine knit sweater and round neck (it can be replaced by the high neck in winter) and the pole, either piqué or point.The question is: how to mix all this?
The simplest combination is to dress all the previous pieces one by a.To configure the appropriate set to each situation, it is enough to follow the previous scheme:
- Elige un tipo pantalón base dependiendo de la formalidad de tu cita. Recuerda, el vaquero el el más informal, el chino es algo más vestido y el de traje, el más formal de todos.
- El siguiente paso es decidir si el contexto de nuestro encuentro será más estricto –en el que calzaremos zapatos– o más casual –entonces podremos rendirnos a la comodidad de las zapas–.
- Por último, rematamos con una parte de arriba, siendo la camiseta la más casual, el polo y el jersey las intermedias y la camisa la más vestida de todas.
Dressing in layers when it is cold has no mystery, it consists of putting the finest garments first and adding the thickest over them;But not we have to condemn aesthetics.
Do you remember those years of adolescence in which you wore a shirt with a shirt on?Do not stop doing it because it is the casual combo that the catwalks have become fashionable.It is as simple as choosing a smooth shirt - preferably white - and add a shirt on top, either leaving a couple of open buttons to see the shirt or leaving it totally open as an overlap.It is what modern today call "dad style" - in good sense -, and that is that teenagers have already grown up.
Going up the formality range a little more, we have the jersey t -shirt mixture.The final result is somewhat more dressed than that of a simple shirt, but not as formal as that of a shirt.
Finally, the classic mixture: Jersey + shirt.On the one hand, the sweater is the perfect extra layer to include between the shirt and the American on the days when she refreshes but taking out the coat is too.On the other, it becomes the perfect substitute for the jacket in formal meetings and Dress Code something more flexible.
