Let’s be real: building your own style isn’t easy. All you have to do is scroll your Insta feed, and you’ll see a mountain of fire styles to choose from. But when you’re building a house, you have to start with the foundation, and the same is true with building your personal look. Once you have the wardrobe essentials—what every man must have in their closets—it’ll be easier to create a look that is 100% you.

A Plain White Shirt

When we’re talking about foundations, we’re talking about the basics. And when we’re talking about the basics, we’re talking about the real basics. So, hold up on the bling and the graphic tees for a second. A plain white t-shirt is the anchor for every look, from the sweats you wear to chill at the crib to the baller look you wear to your first live gig.

Track Suit

We get it—some days, you just want to be comfortable. But that doesn’t mean you have to let your look suffer. Keeping a good tracksuit in your closet is the perfect solution, especially if you live in an area where it gets cold in the winter. If you have more than one tracksuit, you can mix and match the pieces to create more looks. Or you can pair the pieces with other items in your closet, like a different jacket.

Denim Jacket

Denim goes with everything. That’s why a few pairs of our Rockstar Original jeans for men are a wardrobe essential you must have as a man. But you can use the style magic of denim in other places too. A denim jacket goes with everything, and you can change up the look a hundred different ways, layering it over hoodies, under bomber jackets, or embellishing it with merch from your favorite group or social movement.

Sneakers

Any sneakerhead will tell you that a good pair of kicks can make or break an outfit. So, it pays to invest in different pairs for different situations. Make sure you have a pair set aside that you actually wear to play ball, then keep the rest to wear with your other clothes. Having at least one pair that’s neutral colors like black, white, or beige is a good fallback since they go with everything.

Accessories

All right, now we’re moving on from the foundations to the little style pops that set your look apart. Now, you don’t have to have all these things, but adding just one or two will tie your look together.

• Quality sunglasses
• Watch
• Gold chain
• Snapback
• Beanie

Your style is your own, and you can take your looks to new heights when you have the right style tools. And when you’re looking for new items to add to your wardrobe, you know Rockstar’s got your back.
