One item you may want to have a good supply of is jeans. The fashions and trends for jeans change periodically, but the old styles never really go all the way out of fashion. Through the generations, blue jeans have been slim fitting, bell bottomed, distressed and then back to slim fitting. The current style fashion for jeans is the skinny leg variety, which are jeans that fit quite snug. Most everyone can wear this style of jeans and look good in them. Distressed jeans are also a big fashion statement. Luckily, nearly everyone can create their own distressed jeans out of a pair of old jeans, by roughing them up a bit with small tears.

T-shirts are also good to have hanging in the closet. T-Shirts come in every imaginable style and color. You can find them in extra large sizes for a baggy look or skin tight styles. You can even make your own personalized T-shirt by using a printer to transfer your own artwork onto the front or back of the shirt.

Besides T-Shirts and jeans, you will need a few pairs of shorts and some accessories such as belts in a variety of styles. A few pairs of shoes is usually all that is needed. Having a jacket for cool weather and a heavier coat for cold winters, should just about give you what you need for a basic wardrobe.
