Essential pieces of clothing

Any wardrobe worthy of being called so contains a number of basics: essential items that should form the core of your wardrobe and the foundation of your outfits. It's down to you to choose them according to your personal preferences, and, more importantly, what you're going to learn from the Kinowear Program...

Don't worry, you're not going to be graded! For example, it's up to you to decide whether you want your clothes to have an elegant or a laid-back vibe.

Shoes

Smart shoes:

a “dressy” pair: brogues or derby shoes a pair of boots: less formal but just as elegant

More casual :

a pair of sneakers: obligatory unless you want to be an ayatollah of classic elegance a “nice” pair: desert boots if you want to be understated; combat boots or work boots for a more rugged look

Choose according to your tastes. An infinite number of variations to select from!

Pants

A must have: jeans

raw or washed? what kind of wash?

Other pants :

A smart pair: woolen pants a casual pair: chinos, principally!

A pair of pants other than jeans is a totally underestimated piece.

Lightweight tops

T-shirts !

basic t-shirts intermediate t-shirts designer t-shirts

You need to know how to choose these perfectly.

Knitwear

Heavy knitwear:

Lighter knitwear:

more cardigans! more sweaters!

I want to be:

Classy Laid Back

Both are possible!

Your age

Your environment Your tastes Your aspirations Your budget Your personality

Don't worry if...

You don't know what your tastes are – they'll come with time and practice You're not sure what you want yet You're scared of making a mistake – because, actually, the risk of wearing an outfit that is totally at

• dds with who you are and what you want is non-

existent!

You need to put things into perspective.

An example of how to do both “laid-back” and “elegant”...
