Gentleman guide - minimal garderobe

Just because i was asked about by a friend who happen to know about my future book projects, today's post will be about the smallest garderobe a gentleman need to have.

1. Plain white or black boxers - loose fit, 7 pairs
2. Plain black socks - cotton with a bit of Lycra, 7 pairs
3. Black jeans that fit well
4. Plain white t-shirt, 7 pairs
5. White shirt - tailored, 2 pairs
6. Navy blue suit
7. Black shoes leather sole rounded toe
8. Brown loafer squarer toe
9. Dark colored thick wool overcoat jacket collar
10. Black belt
11. Brown belt
12. Navy blue tie
13. Black turtleneck sweater, 2 pieces
14. Steel, chrome or silver cuff-links
15. Watch with steel case and black leather
16. Plain white pocket square - hankie, 4 pieces
17. Aviator sunglasses
18. Other good quality ties, 3 pieces
19. Black suit
20. Black overcoat military style

All this can be packed in one suitcase. You will also need a proper leather shoulder bag. Once you got this, you can add more. But remember, good quality items, even if they are more expensive, last much longer, especially if they are properly  cared.
