The 8 Items of Clothing Every Man Should have in his Wardrobe

Tony Giallonardo is founder of luxury menswear specialist OTTO in London's Mayfair. He tells Elite Traveler about the shopping experience there and eight items of clothing every man should have.

Tony Giallonardo is known as "the Curatore" for his ability to source the finest handcrafted clothes and put together a personalised wardrobe for clients. The OTTO shop in London's Mayfair reflects his vision.

"OTTO is the ultimate shopping experience for men. We wanted the customer to come in and feel like he's at home," he says. OTTO looks after a customer's needs. Any visit begins with a consultation where staff can get to know the man. They then prepare a wardrobe for him based on what they learn.

Giallonardo describes OTTO's style as young and sophisticated with the quality of its clothes stemming from the cut. He adds that there are eight items every man should have in his wardrobe. Watch the video to find out what they are.

This is a man that has dedicated a life and passion to create his own vision on how men's clothing should be, If you think he has no right to be a little more exclusive and have some self worth as a professional then i don't expect you to understand the mentality you need to have to someday be able to afford his clothes. Take pride in your talents and qualities because the people who are angry at society for not giving them a wealthy lifestyle on a silver platter are gonna be too busy criticizing those who do have it to realize they are wasting the days away..

The Otto man loves cars, loves restaurants, loves to look good, and is also filthy rich.

I'd trust this man no question. My credit card would probably exceed its limit if I walked in his store.

I was like damn, gotta go there. Then i visited the Otto online store, the shoes he takes out (1300£) The cardigans he shows, cost 800-1000£, jeans 300-500£, belt 300£, suit jacket 3500£, shirts 400-1500£ 8 items would cost me about 8000£
But oh, the cut is so great. I guess im not a OTTO man

All you people bitching about the price. have you ever gone shopping at Versace, Gucci, Dolce? Those places make his place look like the Goodwill store. You get what you pay for in life. Some people ca afford this, and buy without hesitation. If you can't afford it, do the best you can. Just remember a thin person can make almost any suit look good, so try and stay thin. get a black suit, grey, blue, brown if you can. But everyone needs a black one. Get a couple jackets in the same color's, and mix and match shirts, tie's, jeans, dress slacks etc.. with them. Make sure your suit fits you correctly, and that the shirt sleeves aren't to long, or short. Buy the best shoe's you can afford. The first thing people that know look at is your shoe's. Don't wear shite looking watches. Match your socks to your pants or shoes, not any other part of clothing on your body. Get a couple nice belts in different color's. Now go shop at discount outlets, and buy some designer clothing for a huge discount. Trust me when I say, you get what you pay for, but you can save on what you get, if you are smart!

I have a question. I just bought two small slim fitting causal button-downs yesterday and I love them. I also got two sweaters to go over top of them but I'm not sure if they are too big or not or if I should size down to a small also.

a low upholstered seat, or footstool, without a back or arms that typically serves also as a box, with the seat hinged to form a lid.
