LESSON 2 · Style Rules for Men

The Capsule Foundation

A sharp men's wardrobe does not need to be big. Ten foundation pieces can cover most situations when tees, shirts, trousers, shoes, a blazer, knit, and jacket all mix.

Alone, these ten pieces look plain. Their power is in combination and context.

The same navy blazer reads corporate over an oxford shirt and slacks. Throw it over a white tee and jeans and it reads relaxed and confident. You did not buy a second jacket. You changed the company it keeps.
