In order to look good, there are some essential fashion buys that every man needs in his wardrobe. These include men’s t-shirts, jeans and a suit amongst others. The key is to buy pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a capsule wardrobe that will see you through any season.

The foundations of your look are some jeans that will work with most of the other pieces in your wardrobe. Opt for timeless dark wash slim leg denim that can be dressed up or down.

A suit is also a must, whether it is for work or special occasions. A blazer and some tailored trousers are well worth the investment – and you can also team your blazer with your jeans or some chinos for a smart-casual look.

Central to any capsule wardrobe are t-shirts. These can be your more trend led piece and an easy way to refresh your look for the new season. Whether you choose to give a subtle nod to the current trends with a t-shirt in the season’s must-have shade or go all out with a bold print, this is an inexpensive way to play with your look.

At River Island there are hundreds of men’s t-shirts available from as little as £8 including an array of printed or plain designs. Show off your favourite band, wear a cheeky slogan or go for a timeless Breton stripe t-shirt – they’re all available as an easy way to update your wardrobe staples.
