Today I have a guest post that I'm super excited about! Jordan Obinger is one of my sister's best friends, and he has some serious style skills. Jordan and I started chatting on Twitter, and I asked him to do a guest post about guy style and essentials every man needs. His suggestions are great, and a lot of these items can be found at many price points to fit various budgetary needs! A little bit about Jordan: he's in photography, advertising, and design, and lives in Minneapolis. You can check out his awesome photography site at www.jordanobinger.com, and follow him on Pinterest and Twitter, too!

Whether
a man’s style is urban, trendy, preppy or—God forbid—gothic, essentials are the fundamental basics in
any man’s closet. Essentials aren’t the hottest new style, but they aren’t out
of style either. They’re right in the
middle. Men often have a hard time finding basic
essentials for their wardrobe, here’s a list of styles and brands that will
have years of wear!

If it's "absolutely necessary" to have a $1800 bag to be a man, I'll never be a man.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon- like I said in the intro, this is a great list of basics that could be adapted to any budget. Is a $1800 bag an essential for most people? Probably not. But a duffle is definitely an essential to any guy's wardrobe for the gym, weekends away, etc. Thanks for reading!
DeleteI love this! How great it is to see men's fashion in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Very classic, even a bit preppy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I'm finding myself more and more interested in men's style lately.. call it my urges to dress my boyfriend even though he is more than capable of doing it himself ;) haha
ReplyDeletegreat post! every man should have items such as these in their wardrobe!
