the basics..timeless

here at the rockerfeller, we don't believe in fads instead we believe in timeless style. so i have made a list of basic that every man should keep in his closet so that he can remain relevant in today's ever changing world without looking like a trend hopping jackass.

first is the timeless polo, preferably ralph lauren. rl polo's tend to hold up better over time but keep in mind they retail for about $75. the polo is timeless and can be dressed up or down easily. just add a cardigan to dress it up or forget the cardigan and you look casual.

the second must have is a good pair of jeans. i don't mean you have to spend hundreds of dollars but stay away from anchor blue or any sign that says 2 pairs for... instead buy some levi's. if you can afford to splurge i would recommend hundreds denim, seven, dkny or nudie. try to the make sure you get a basic jean without too many logos so you can rewear them anything with noticeable logos should be worn sparingly.

a simple pair of shoes is great too. i would always recommend for the simple fact that black goes with everything. if vans aren't your taste that is fine, maybe some converse allstars, jack prucells or nike blazers are more your speed. try not to buy anything to expensive as these should be all purpose and a pair of shoes you're not afraid to get dirty, as these are for everyday uses.

last but not least...a timepiece. in a world thats ruled by cell phones and technology we can easily check our phone for the time, but a timepiece allows you to do the same and also adds to what you are currently wearing. in addition its sets you apart because most people don't wear watches. it doesn't have to be expensive just something you're comfortable in. try to stay away from metal bands as they scratch easy which limits how long you can wear them. leather is great because even if your band wears away you can always replace it, and its much cheaper than buying new links for a metal watch.

i leave you with this: in the world of fashion simplicity is king.
