With the holiday season upon us (and a suggestion from a friend) I wanted to share some essentials you can gift your man, friends and family members with. Or, if you’re a reader who is a man, pick up for yourself. I follow the same principles for mens styling as I do women’s, invest in key pieces that can be styled together multiple ways and add in some pieces that add individuality and interest. I’ve pulled together some of my favorite menswear items (pictured above and below) to hopefully make your shopping a bit easier whether you are gifting or shopping for yourself.
