A functioning closet is the base of your wardrobe because if it works, you have the right height of your hangers, you organize it in a way that nothing gets lost and that you maximize the space that you get out of it. 2. Quality hangers. I urge you to invest in good hangers with a wide shoulder pad because it protects your jacket shoulder so you can wear the jacket for 30-40 years without having any issues. On top of that, a sturdy, felted trouser bar prevents trousers from sliding down and if you have enough space, you can even double or triple up your pants in case you have more pants than jackets. 3. Invest in a good iron and even more importantly, an ironing board. Not all irons are alike. mot people can afford a regular steam iron, it's a consumer grade but it has a good amount of steam holes and you have to refill the water on top and that helps to release wrinkles in your shirts or your suits. 4. Garment steamer. Even though you can use a regular iron that has a steam button to get some steam out of it, it's very little compared to a designated garment steamer. I use a garment steamer especially when I change seasons when I go from winter to spring summer and vice versa. 5. Clothes brushes. They work particularly well in conjunction with steam. What they do is release dirt and they help to keep the intergrity of your garment. If you bursh regularly, your garments will last longer because there's less dirt so moths will get to it less easily and overall, with a clothesbrush, you want something that is not too stiff and not too soft because for your garments, it really has to get under it and you don't want to damage them. 6. Shoes accessories. The first thing you want is a shoe horn simply because it helps to protect the cap of your shoe when you put them on. Another item is shoe trees. It elongates the life span of your shoes tremendously. A shoe shine kit comes in handy because it's a place where you can store all your shoe polish, your cloth, your brushes, everything you need. 7. Garment bags. It's ideal if you transition your wardrobe in and out and you want to store it away but protecting it at the same time. 8. Off season storage. It's very tempting to leave your entire wardrobe in your closet or where it's easily reachable all year round but in reality, you will only access a limited amount of clothes at a time. 9. Good maintenance services and with that, I mean people like menders or maybe a neighborhood lady who's very good at sewing or patching because eventually, things will go wrong, you'll wear something out, you'll have a stain that won't come out in the dry cleaner and having someone who can help you with that is really essential and you don't want to miss that. 10. Alterations tailor. No matter if you mostly have custom garments or if you buy everything off the rack or vintage, the alteration tailor should be a man's best friend. Why? Simply because there's not a single thing off the rack that will fit you perfectly simply because you're a human. #wardrobemaintenance #menswardrobe #wardrobeessentials -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most Popular videos: How to accept a compliment - https://youtu.be/_EKXNmM1PUo 101 things that change when you dress up - https://youtu.be/JyGDd_iYaCI How to tie a Bow Tie - https://youtu.be/2I3cfa0BOOc --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to stay updated?
