STAPLE PIECES EVERY MALE MODEL SHOULD HAVE
Starting with a dark wash classic pair of jeans. They match with almost every shirt in my wardrobe and they are very easy to style. Sometimes, when I am in a rush for photoshoots and I just grab the one piece that will always look good and non-committal. These jeans are such a flexible piece of clothing: you can wear them for shoots, meetings, interviews or even social events.
My job requires going to meetings with partners and clients. Every male model should look presentable and professional. The white or black classic collar cotton shirt is a “Never Go Wrong” option. It can be paired with jeans and casual shoes and you will be ready to go.
The blazers and co-ord suits are my signature clothing pieces for formal events. I love playing with colour and expose my personality through fashion. Like I said in my latest interview for The Dapper Villains podcast “When I am dressed casually, I do not get noticed on the streets…by wearing a suit my profile goes up.” A blazer can be worn with jeans for casual dress codes or with trousers, a shirt, and a tie for press events and meetings.
If you are a model, don’t forget to take a hoodie with you for photoshoots. In one of my previous posts Modelling 101: How to Handle Modelling in Uncomfortable Situations | Natwest Photoshoot, I mentioned that sometimes you cannot expect every circumstance on the day of the photoshoot. Weather conditions can affect your performance and you have to be prepared for that! Hoodies can save you from getting wet on rainy days.
These 5 clothing pieces are a must-have for those who have a similar lifestyle as mine and want to put a quick look together without having to put in too much effort.
