The black suit If paired with the right top and accessories, the suit can take you from morning to evening. ; from business to formal. Other must-haves include the little black dress and a pair of stylish and comfortable black pumps.

For men, the number 1 must have is The business suit, preferably in black, the 3-piece suit being the more “respectable” ensemble because it is not just for business but can also be used as separates that can be worn all the time. Another must have for men is the white shirt. There is little that rivals the combination of a white shirt and a dark suit for a distinguished presentation. Striped shirt, especially the pinstripe is also synonymous with business wear, a definite must-have for professional men.

A wardrobe needs to be built upon a few basics – the pants, jackets, shirts and skirt your need to set by. Clothes should reveal the men rather than obscure look.
