One of the most powerful, and successful fashion designers in the world, Yves Saint Laurent once famously said, “Fashion fades; style is eternal.” Fashion comes and goes. One season this particular item is in, the next its out – forever evolving. Style on the other hand, is distinctive and timeless. You don’t have to necessarily follow every fashion trend that comes along but you have to have some sense of style and that style remains as is, no matter the season/place/occasion.  

Here’s a list of 11 must- haves in every man’s wardrobe. These essentials define style.
