There are ton’s of guides out there guessing at what menswear essentials truly are and the truth is there isn’t one set of selects that’s a one size fits all. Every man has their own set of essentials that they swear by so I thought it’ll be fun to ask the men themselves what they can’t live without. Growing up with four brothers I can attest to this because each one of them has their own signature pieces that they can’t live without. To kick off In Thing Men’s (eepp!) and this menswear essentials series, I interviewed my eldest brother Kashif about what’s on his absolute must-haves list. Follow below to get into his picks!

KASHIF’S FAVORITES

BLACK V-NECK

My Calvin Klein v-neck is the most comfortable and convenient piece in my wardrobe It’s the best thing to throw on after getting out the shower to head out and I don’t have to iron it!

DARK WASH JEANS

Nothing beats my Mango dark wash jeans because it goes with everything in my wardrobe. It fits true to size and is super comfort.

EVERYDAY SNEAKERS

These Adidas Ultra Boost sneakers literally go with anything. I wear them all the time to work, on casual days out, and to the gym. Plus it’s a running sneaker so comfort is covered which if you didn’t realize by now is a big thing for me.
