Your staple pieces in your wardrobe are worth the investment.  They are the items of clothing that you’re going to wear most often.  These include:

• Casual light-mid weight jacket
• Rain/Waterproof/windbreaker shell
• Nice/designer dark wash jeans
• Hoodie
• Blazer
• Wool coat
• Comfortable casual shoe
• Flip Flops
• Great soft undershirts/t-shirts
• Everyday belt
• Watch
• Wallet
• Suit

When you shop, don’t just look for the best deal.  Love every piece of clothing that is going to be adding to your wardrobe so that you’ll want to wear that piece everyday.  This ensures regular rotation in actually being worn and not ending up in the bottom of your dresser, never to be seen again.  When filling those voids and picking out those pieces you need/want, look for diversity in being able to wear it in different situations and with other pieces in your wardrobe.  Don’t buy something you don’t know what you’d wear it with.  If you have no clue, check out the mannequins in the store to give you clues.  Look for special details about that piece that make it a little special/different that reflect your style or personality.  Or go for the uber classic that will never go out of style.  It’s always nice to be in trend.  But remember trends only last for so long.  It may be decades before it’s back in trend and typically closets don’t have that kind of storage capacity.  Just make sure you can flaunt it successfully before you roll outta the house with a fedora on looking like a douche.
