Many of us own far more clothes than we could ever want or need, so get into order and create a capsule wardrobe of the men’s t-shirts, jeans, shirts and more that you wear on a daily basis.

With some planning you can clear out the things that you never wear and have a more streamlined wardrobe of pieces that will work together and can be mixed and matched, still offering a variety of outfit choices.

Central to your look are some jeans. Invest in a dark wash slim leg denim that can be dressed up or down, as well as a looser slouch fit for off duty days. Of course, the obvious choice to wear them with is a t-shirt – your ultimate wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. Along with the classic white and black t-shirts, add to your collection with a simple Breton striped tee and some printed tees that nod to the season’s trends. This summer it’s all about global print tees – from Miami to Ibiza, you can work the motif of the hottest destinations into your look with the selection available at River Island. With printed t-shirts available from £10 it’s a low cost way of updating your capsule wardrobe.

Your other essentials include a well fitting pair of smart trousers, a mix of long and short sleeve shirts, and a classic black blazer that you can wear for work or as part of a smart look.
