Fashions come and go with the seasons but there will always be a select few items in a gentleman’s wardrobe that will never lose their sartorial status. Make this Father’s Day memorable by gifting T.M.Lewin’s timeless must-haves.
1. A crisp, white shirt is one essential piece that will compliment a whole host of different looks and is suitable for just about any occasion. A breathable white cotton linen is especially good for helping you keep your cool in a heat wave.
2. A pocket square has the magical sartorial ability to instantly transform any look from drab to dapper. Choose classic white or experiment with brighter colours and patterns.
3. A classic pair of chinos is suitable year round for both formal and informal occasions. You can’t go wrong with this wardrobe staple.
4. A supply of elegant cufflinks to coordinate with your collection of double cuff shirts. Choose from a kaleidoscope of colourful silk knots or opt for classic gold, silver or enamel.
5. A drawer full of smart socks can provide the last essential finishing touch. A bright colour or pattern can be way to show your flair for style. But don’t get too carried away and avoid socks of the novelty variety.
6. A tie can say a lot about the person wearing it, so choose carefully. Invest wisely and build a collection of plain and patterned, regular and skinny, so you always have options.
7. The essential black suit is particularly perfect for formal occasions. In fact, a well-cut, properly fitted black suit is often the failsafe option. And a good quality dinner suit is one you’ll wear time and time again.
8. The wear-it-anywhere casual blazer is smart and versatile, the reason why it makes its return year after year. Weekdays or weekends, it could be one of the most versatile jackets you’ll ever own.
9. A decent belt or a pair of braces will keep your trousers hanging perfectly. Depending on the style you choose, these can also make a statement.
10. A light grey suit can be a lifesaver during the summer months when temperatures rise. They also make for ideal wedding guest attire. You really can’t go wrong.
