For men, there are few items you shouldn’t go without. Most are basic, but can elevate your wardrobe from casual to GQ editor. A white collared shirt is a staple in every man’s closet and can be easily overlooked. You can grab this item from anywhere but the crisp and cool result will always be the same. A man should always keep a few options to mesh with denim or even trousers. Less is more when it comes to this staple. Make a lasting impression with your grooming kit. Even your scent taps into the five senses and lingers even after you’ve left the office. Beards are still a trending facial factor and need to be maintained for the corporate standards. Take your mane with your selection of these fresh spin on beard oils. You can decide between BeardBrand’s citrus notes ($25), Men’s Society sensitive skin friendly beard oil ($29), or dapper and decadent moisturizing beard oil from Tom Ford ($50). Shades are the next staple that you should invest your dollar into. Yes, you can bring your festival fan favorites along with you. Shades are an appropriate menswear essential. Ray Bans Wayfarers are a trusty brand to keep the UV rays away. Black is too heavy and solid for this season, so opt for a tortoise shell print instead ($150). Preparation is noticed and valued, especially in the corporate world. Show your co-workers that your time is money by sporting a nice timepiece. Gold and silver are so cliché, for the Spring, dive into more slates, stones, and earthy material. Keep track of your day with a Nixon timepiece ($150).
