Over the years I’ve come to learn that there’s a number of versatile wardrobe items every person should own. These have all stood the test of time so you can trust that they’ll always be stylish.

It’s A Reliable Casual Piece
The crewneck sweater naturally fits into your casual wardrobe.
It’s always a safe bet when you’re running errands in the evenings or grabbing coffee with your main squeeze on the weekends.
With that said, this is both a blessing and a curse.
It’s a blessing since you can easily wear it casually without giving it a second thought.
It’s a curse because most people overlook its ability to be dressed up.
A crewneck sweater is always a safe bet to have in your wardrobe no matter how you look at it.
Here’s Why Crewnecks Are Great For Dressing Up
This may come as a surprise to you but it is possible to dress up a crewneck sweater.
One of the simplest ways of achieving this is by wearing a button-up shirt underneath. Just make sure that your shirt collar can be seen otherwise this defeats the purpose.
You may also want to add a tie to your outfit if you’re looking to elevate this look even further.
Keep in mind that the type of shoes you wear will also change the nature of your style.
Dress shoes will always give it a more formal feel while sneakers can tone it down, creating more of a smart-casual look.
At the end of the day, it depends on how you’d like to be perceived.
Last Thoughts
Consider dressing in a way that’s timeless yet versatile. This way you’ll never have to think about what to wear ever again and you can trust that your style will always be relevant.
Your life will be much easier once you apply this approach to building your wardrobe.
