My Husband Needs a Complete Wardrobe Refresh—9 Stylish Basics I'm Starting With

Despite being married to a fashion editor, my husband knows nothing about clothes. He wears the same slew of T-shirts on rotation, and if I buy him a few nice pieces, those will become his go-to dressed-up outfit for the next few months. Much to my excitement, he recently let me know that he's serious about getting a wardrobe refresh and wants to give his outfit game a little bit of upgrade. A lot of the men's fashion content online can be for those who are very much in tune with their sartorial side, but for those like my husband who are still taking baby steps, I decided to round up the basic stylish pieces I'm starting off with. 

If you are a guy who's looking for a simple guide for a casual yet elevated wardrobe or are someone who wants to help your partner out in their fashion journey, look no further than the list ahead. From lightly printed sweaters to matching loungewear sets, everything below will make for an easy and stylish wardrobe.

Bold sneakers are fun, but starting off with a pair of simple sneakers that can go with a majority of outfits is important. Nike's and New Balance's offerings are a personal favorite, but I also love the retro touch a pair of Vans can bring to a look.

Nope, this doesn't include the fleece jacket that it seems every man has in their closet. Whether it's a leather jacket or a simple denim number, it elevates solid items like a T-shirt and jeans.

I firmly believe that men who don't accessorize are missing out. All it takes is a cozy hat or a sleek pair of sunglasses to take a simple look to another level.

Despite the fact that companies make men's pockets deep enough to fit absolutely everything (yes, I'm jealous), a quality bag for either everyday use or traveling is key. 

I get it. Trousers are often not the most comfortable of pieces, but luckily, brands have released many versions of joggers that aren't the ones you'd wear to work out. I'm talking about khaki, linen, and cargo versions.

Although I wish every man would take the plunge in the print department, not everyone can pull a Harry Styles. Ease into prints with more subtle colorways and patterns. They're still interesting enough to make a statement but aren't too far-fetched.

This is an obvious one, but I love the incorporation of unique colors and textures in what would be an average collared shirt. Also, don't be afraid to work with different styles, like a mandarin version.

Sweaters don't have to only come out for the holidays. Simple sweaters and cardigans can be incorporated into an everyday wardrobe, from a casual look with jeans to a button-down with fitted trousers.

When I showed my husband the pieces below, he immediately wanted them. I don't blame him. I've been living in matching sets this past year. They just always look good and are incredibly comfortable.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
