As any seasoned dresser knows, the key to a stylish, versatile wardrobe is … basics. Wait! We know that sounds like a lame answer, but hear us out. Basics allow your statement pieces to shine. Basics pair with anything. Basics are the glue that holds this delicate sartorial world of menswear together. Basics are life.
Sigh. Still not convinced? Then take it from our man Todd Snyder, king of New York. Hot on the heels of the hallowed L.L. Bean collaboration, the iconic designer is back and celebrating a decade of his eponymous brand. To commemorate the occasion, he’s doing what he does best: curating wardrobes. Crafted with “classic luxury” at the front of mind, the 10-Year Capsule is full of re-invented classics, from oxfords to suede jackets to work boots. Each piece is incredible in its own right, be it from an imperfectly perfect fabric, meticulous tailoring, or just a well-sourced knit. Old Toddy explains it better than we ever will in the “Todd Snyder: 10 Years” short below.
We’ve picked our five favorite upgrades from the Todd Snyder 10 Years Collection to help you be just a little less boring, one basic at a time. Read more about Todd Snyder’s inspiration for the collection here, and shop our picks for some of the best basics you can get your hands on below.
