We live in a Nigeria, where it’s challenging for the everyday man to make a lot of money, so they cannot to splurge on fashion.

So, we have compiled a list of the most essential fashion items every man needs in their closet.

Suit: Every man should have a nice fitted suit, preferably in grey color, because it’s a neutral color that’s not black and they come in different shades. You’ll always have on occasion or the other that’ll require a suit.

Long tie: Well, I think if we’re going to say that you need a suit, then you should probably get a tie as well so you can look smart. There are some occasions where a tie won’t be necessary but more times you’ll need one.

Dark solid jeans: It’s the trade mark of the middle class man. It saves you when you have a casual occasion and helps when you have a smart-casual type event as well. It’s basic...you need it.

Phone case: So this is a fashion accessory but a necessity. When you realize how hectic your day could be and the many possibilities of your phone falling from your hand, as you get out of the car, off your desk, and how much it costs to replace broken case, you'll want a new case.

Dress shoes: Finally, dress shoes are the sign off to an essential men’s closet. After you acquire all of the above, you’ll definitely need dress shoes to finish off your look. It can work well with dark jeans and a suit so it’s a win win item.

Hopefully, this helps to guide the everyday guy who doesn’t want to splurge but wants to know what he must have in his closet.
