If you are like me, what they call the basic T-shirt and Jeans kind of guy. Then you know that basic never go out of style. Every guy has this shirt and pair of jeans which he never gets tired of wearing. There’s some new basics to spice up your wardrobe.

White Sneaker
They’re the shoe for every moment, made by high-enders like Martin Margiela as well as old-schoolers such as Adidas (you can’t go wrong with those shell-toe Superstars). And there’s this modern classic, a twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of the Nike Air Force 1.

Caramel Belt
This belt blends perfectly with grays, khakis, and whites, basically your entire wardrobe on these slides. While adding just enough style so you’re not too monochromatic.
