It’s almost that type of year again, when Back-to-School shopping is in the forefront of the mind, so why not get started early? This is especially prudent if you’re entering that first year of college or even continuing your education and looking to get geared up. Usually at the beginning of the school year, it’s still pretty warm, so the first must have item is, you guessed it:
Tees.
T-shirts are quite possibly the easiest clothing items because not only are they comfortable, they can be layered with other items as the weather gets cooler. Speaking of cool, remember that you shouldn’t always go right for the basics; pick something that truly speaks to your style and personality. Adding this Starfield Helmet Stripes Tee by Billionaire Boys Club to your arsenal is definitely a smart move and shows a level of patriotism in a very unique way.

Of course, men have always looked great in a stylish button-down but now it’s time to mix it up. Second on the list is a new take on the long sleeve plaid button-down (top), the Junea Weld Check by Japanese American brand VISVIM. The unique thing about this shirt is the circular pocket that almost looks as if it doesn’t quite belong. Finding items this school year with a bit of unique detail will always help you to stand out in a crowd.
Denim is next on the list and it’s a no-brainer. Jeans are the one item that everyone already has in their closet, but they’re also an item you can never have too many of. With that said, there are styles out there by every brand, from Calvin Klein to True Religion, but if you’re looking for the hottest jeans of the season, try Naked & Famous.
The Indigo lightweight version is the perfect pair to match back to any shirt, jacket and even shoe because of its classic color and tailored fit.
As the weather warms up and the need to layer continues, you will need the fourth “must have” item, a great vest. The guy who can successfully look cool rocking a vest, is one stylish man.
Even better than looking cool is keeping warm and the Junya Watanabe Vest with Grey Goose Down blend stuffing is definitely the ticket.
Finally, don’t forget to accessorize. Yes, men need accessories too. From hats to bracelets, if you look hard enough you can find the one piece that is a perfect representation of your style. But the most important accessory for back to school is the backpack. It’s not just a way to carry around your all important school items, it’s also a show of style.
Some choose a blah, others go for a Hershel and both are great brands. However, if you want something to dramatically increase your style meter, go for a KRISVANASSCHE crocodile bag. Hey, if nothing else, you will probably be the only one at your school with it.
