15 Men's Wardrobe Essentials | Courtney Ryan

Welcome back to my channel! In this video are 15 things I think every man needs in his wardrobe. I just posted a video like this for women so I figured it was only fair to do one for men too. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I hope you all enjoy!

Classic list. Frat guy clinging to his youth. You just nailed my weekend aesthetic.

Nothing better than a women's perspective on mens needs more of this!
More please! :)

Since discovering this channel just a few weeks ago and buying most of these items, my confidence has increased and I can't see myself going back to how I used to dress. I was long overdue a wardrobe change and Courtney's channel encouraged me to do it, I'm so glad I discovered it. P.S I hope Teddy eventually caught up on The Office

Advice on videos are dressing best for different body types! Tall, short, skinny, hefty etc. Maybe specific advice for hiding or drawing attention away from "problem areas". As well as accentuating and drawing attention to parts of your body that you like.

Big belly style tips is a great place to start. Most men get one with age but very few men know how to look great despite it.

Women are also way better at dressing in a flattering way for their body. You play the game on a different level.

Thanks for putting this together. Would really like to see a breakdown of each category with your picks on higher and lower cost options in each.

Nailed the white sneakers. I own all those exact sneakers. Only thing I'd add is ALWAYS get ur suits tailored no matter what!! Teddy get this lady to LA or NYC. If ur gonna suffer through winter u might as well do it in the greatest city in the world. Great video!

Go with a navy suit instead of a charcoal suit, the charcoal is more difficult to look nice in during the summer

A Barbour waxed jacket is also a nice addition! The older it is, the better it looks, if you take care of it! Thx for the tips!

Courtney: "Frat guy clinging to his youth."

You hit the nail on the head! Although I own some of the items you listed, I do not have white sneakers. For starters, the risk of getting those dirty is too high. Moreover, they require too much maintenance.

A black or dark grey warm waterproof coat with a hood is an essential, especially where I am in the UK where it's often raining. I've got a black Jack Wolfskin coat that I'll have with me for about 9 months of the year.
It's more of a practical than stylish piece but can still look good if you're out in bad weather and want something that can be relatively formal/smart casual but don't want to look like you're about to hike up a mountan. Something from Carharrt, Jack Wolfskin, North Face etc.

Ms. Ryan, I really like your suggestions. I would like to add a few things: classic sunglasses such as Ray Ban Clubmasters or Randolph Engineering sunglasses. Other things such as conservative neck ties (stripes), tie clip bar, pocket squares are also essentials as well.

this was posted on my birthday!!!
I recently started getting rid of clothes. I want to get my wardrobe down to 30 items, not counting the month supply of underwear and socks, and I think there's something sexy about being able to keep all my clothes in one wardrobe that doesnt lead to the Lion, the Witch and a castle full of wardrobes. I'm feeling pretty good about this new decision.
I appreciate your perspective on this and I like your enforcement of "the suit that fits"

[x-man]

The white T-Shirt. My best hack, DO NOT sleep in your "dress" white tee shirts (any color really). You'll stretch the neck out and it will look wavy from then on. Wavy=Dorky. If it's wrinkly=Dorky, get a hand steamer. They are great for quick touch-up on all your shirts.

[davidtamayo]

Hi Courtney.
Regarding suits, I would suggest having 2 staple: black as suggested and navy blue
Both match with the white shirt (and almost all color-in my ignorant opinion)
For the rest, you’re the professional
Keep the content coming please

You described my wardrobe to 100%.

Love your and Teddy's channel, best wishes from Berlin!

Keep it up Courtney. Well done! I have tons of clothes, shoes, and accessories. Your videos make me want to pare it down to just the ones you mentioned.However, I live in Wooster about an hour south of you so I have to keep a lot of warm stuff. Maybe do a video on that: How to be Stylish in the Cold.
