Those stand-out, head-turning prints and experimental garment cuts might be what grabs the attention of street style photographers, but there's a distinct difference between fashion and style. At the heart of any stylish man's wardrobe are a selection of essentials that form the foundations of any steezy ’fit, and though it's easy to skimp on said basics, some solid investments from OG workwear label Carhartt WIP.

From slick, button-up shirts and simple logo tees to transitional essentials such as pullovers, canvas coats, and overalls, few brands do simplistic, quality staples quite like Carhartt WIP. With one of the best selections we've seen at Berlin-based global retailer HHV, here we've brought you 10 essential pieces to build a casual wardrobe for all occasions, which you can build on with those more statement streetwear ops from the likes of Wood Wood, and Stüssy – both also stocked at HHV.
