In fact, there are only six articles of clothing that you really must own because <span id=\"more-6703\"><\/span>of their versatility. Mix and match and accessorize properly, and the same elements will work equally well at the beach and dog run as they do at the office or a funeral (or both if you\u2019re having a bad day). Here, the list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>White Button-down Shirt <\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe white shirt is the most flexible piece of clothing you will ever own,\u201d says Massimo Bizzocchi, menswear importer and owner of the eponymous downtown Manhattan boutique. Wear it with shorts and jeans for a more casual look, with chinos and a tie for work attire and with a dark suit to a formal event. For a traditional look, stick to 100 percent cotton broadcloth; for modern, try stretch cotton with a slightly slimmer fit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark Rinse Jeans <\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cDark denim jeans are considered the new standby,\u201d says Bizzocchi. You can wear them with everything from a tailored jacket to a T-shirt and sneakers. \u201cI like APC New Standard,\u201d says Steven Taffel, owner and proprietor of Leffot, a high-end men\u2019s clothing store in Manhattan. \u201cThey\u2019re a crisp denim, and they don\u2019t have any stitching on the back pockets. Paired with a white shirt, you have a blank canvas that you can accessorize with pretty much anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cashmere V-neck Sweater <\/strong><br \/>\nYou can wear this classic under a suit, with a pair of jeans &#8212; with pretty much anything. \u201cAnd if it gets too warm,\u201d says Bizzocchi, \u201cjust take it off and wear it draped around your neck on top of your blazer.\u201d If you\u2019re only going to buy one, choose a neutral color like black, brown or charcoal. If you invest in a second, pick a bright color like green or pink that highlights one of your best traits (i.e., If you have blue eyes, go for bright blue).  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Navy Blazer <\/strong><br \/>\nThis jacket always looks great, whether you wear it with jeans or dress slacks. \u201cJust lose the brass buttons,\u201d says Taffel. \u201cThe buttons should always be dark.\u201d And make sure to get the right fit &#8212; you don\u2019t want a lot of extra fabric through the body. The general rule is that if you can fit your arm in between the jacket and your chest, you have too much fabric and need to get it taken in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solid Dark Suit<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cYou need to have one of these regardless if you wear it to work or not,\u201d says Taffel. \u201cThese days you could need it for a job interview, a wedding or a funeral.\u201d A solid dark color (black, navy or charcoal gray) offers more flexibility in dressing up and down. Wear it on its own for a formal event and dress it down by pairing the jacket with jeans and a T-shirt. If you buy more than one, Bizzocchi recommends experimenting with browns. \u201cA dark charcoal brown suit in a lightweight fabric has a lot of personality,\u201d he says, \u201cand it shows you have confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stylish Sneakers <\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019d wear them to the gym or the basketball court, they do not go with jeans and a nice shirt on a Saturday night. Instead, go for something plain and simple that doesn\u2019t read \u201cgym.\u201d Guess, Bally, Coach and Puma all make classic shoes that bridge the divide between athletic and fashion, and they read casual or dressy depending on the rest of your outfit (shorts, jeans or dark suit pants). \u201cIf I&#8217;m not in my boat shoes I wear a pair of Adidas white and blue Rod Laver sneakers,\u201d says Taffel. \u201cSneakers have a life of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Jessica Lothstein is a former fashion journalist at Best Life magazine.
