Style & Design 2009: Wardrobe Staples Worth Investing In

They might be more expensive, but copping a few key pieces will have you looking smart this fall.


Bag by Jack Spade; Shoes by Mark McNairy

Putting together a more sophisticated wardrobe isn't nearly as daunting as it may seem. To start out, all you really need to do is invest in a few basic essentials. For the times when a t-shirt and dunks aren't the look, you would be doing yourself a great service by copping a couple of the staple items needed for a more formal look. We're not talking three-piece suits here: we're talking about an outfit that you can rock to a nice dinner or when you go to meet your girl's parents. In our 2009 Style & Design package we highlighted the Jack Spade Leather Supply Brief and the Mark McNairy Chukka Boot (pictured above) as two items that can hold down any refined wardrobe. We picked out 10 more items to really help you start putting your new look together...
