25 wardrobe essentials for £25 or less
Words: Alex Woodhall
Building a timelessly stylish wardrobe doesn’t have to set you back a year’s salary, nor does it have to dent your monthly pay cheque on a regular basis. Whilst the fineries of Savile Row, Jermyn Street and new Bond Street may be a worthwhile extravagance, it’s not an extravagance many of us, nor our better halves, can justify. Saying that, it’s entirely possible to appear put together and be the best-dressed man in the room without breaking the bank, or fielding a furious phone call from a loan shark. Careful shopping, an eye for a bargain, a curated sense of style and the right retailers are crucial for a look that is as easy on the wallet as it is on the eye. These are 25 essentials that would strengthen any gentleman’s wardrobe, and all will set you back just £25 or less…
