“The Power of a Polished Presence” www.blueprintforstyle.com
This list is for the guy who knows he may be missing a few essentials, or finds that he doesn’t have everything he needs when it’s time to get dapper for a high-profile night out with the fellas, or the guy whose girlfriend/wife/significant other continually asks, “Don’t you have anything else besides those khakis to put on?” This list isn’t exhaustive but rather a great start to moving your process of getting dressed to autopilot….because you have other “real” decisions to make! Wardrobe Essentials Checklist
V-neck undershirts (at least 7) Black leather belt [with minimal hardware] – you only need one so make it nice!
