How many clothes should a man have?
Now that you know what clothes are out there for men, it's time to ask yourself how many you should own.
1. Define your needs based on your daily life
Of course, there's no universal answer to this question. Since everyone is very different, depending on where they live and what they do, it's impossible to give a magic number that will work for everyone.
The idea is to get to know yourself by observing your daily life.
For example, you can count for a week , starting next Monday, the number and type of clothing you have used . Feel free to take notes on a piece of paper or in your phone during the week.
By the end of the week, you'll have an extremely accurate count of each part of your wardrobe: top, bottom, and underwear.
The ideal would be to have this perfect number of clothes, with a margin in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Why are LUDIS playsuits revolutionizing fashion?
The concept of LUDIS is to add novelty to men's wardrobes!
Noting that there was little change in the men's fashion industry, we decided in 2018 to embark on the adventure and create our own clothes.
This is how LUDIS men's playsuits were born. Initially designed for men, LUDIS decided in 2020 to expand the range by adding women's models.
The revolution in all this? Never buy T-shirts and shorts again:
- Good color schemes never look good together, and you often end up with a mismatched outfit.
- Stand out from the crowd with a garment that is absolutely unique in the world
- Embody values of solidarity and respect for the environment by purchasing a Made in France garment, designed in Marseille with eco-responsible fabrics and supplies (labels, embroidery, cord).
3. Choose between ethics, quality, and quantity
Now that you have your precise number that suits you perfectly, you will have to make a choice.
Do you want to own more clothes than you need to live in "comfort," at the expense of the environment?
Do you want to buy clothes based solely on price? Or will you prioritize quality while also considering environmental impact?
Will you prioritize branding and the popularity it will bring you? Or will you prioritize a brand that emphasizes deep commitments?
These are all questions you should ask yourself before making a purchase and which LUDIS cannot answer for you.
What really matters is taking the time to think about these questions in order to live in accordance with your values every day!
Minimalism: Good or Bad Practice?
We couldn't continue this article without talking about minimalism . This school of thought applies perfectly to fashion, and even more so during this period when fast fashion is at its peak.

You now have all the keys in hand to know your clothing needs and adjust your wardrobe accordingly! If you want to stand out while remaining classy , sober and contributing to the development of an eco-responsible company , which works for the future of all: opt for a LUDIS playsuit.
We think our article on streetwear will be a good follow-up to this one, if you're a fashion and trend fan like us!
The down jacket is a must-have in a man's wardrobe
A down jacket is one of the essential coats that every man should own. Indeed, a designer down jacket is a stylish garment that lasts for years and never goes out of style. To choose the right down jacket, you must consider your body shape , the down filling of the jacket, and the price.
As for the price, you should know that a real down jacket is relatively expensive . You should expect to pay an average of 200 euros for a good quality down jacket. The price is due to the down. The more precious the feathers, the more expensive the down jacket will be. The warmest down jackets are those made of goose feathers.
What body shape for your down jacket?
When it comes to body shape, there are down jackets that can suit everyone . If you are rather slim and tall, you can opt for a long, fitted down jacket, while if you are short or round, it is better to choose a short, fairly wide down jacket. The bands also come into play: for a slim person, tight bands will be more harmonious, on the contrary, wide bands will be more suitable for a strong person.
