Man knows that it’s all about the finer details, and wearing accessories can really add detailing to any outfit. You could be wearing a navy suit and a white shirt and at the same time the guy next to you might be wearing a navy suit and a white shirt. The only way that’s going to make your outfit different from his is the accessories that you choose.
Seven accessories every man should have –
1. A watch
Wearing a good watch can make a subtle statement. A good watch can lead to compliments alongside starting conversations.
You want to choose a watch that’s going to fit in with your day to day style. If you’re going to invest in a Rolex but you work on a building site day to day, it’s probably not the best watch to go for. So find a watch that’s going to fit in with your day to day style and then you can wear it time and time again.
2. A Pocket Square
A pocket square is a good way of adding colour or adding print and even a different fabric to a blazer or to a suit jacket.
Typically the suit jacket or the blazer that you’re going to wear is going to be plain. From a classic Navy blazer to a Charcoal Grey suit jacket, a pocket square can inject some colour when needed.
3. A Leather Bag
Don’t ignore the importance of a good bag. A lot of men that are looking stylish but they’ve got an ugly rucksack on their back.
Invest in a really well-made leather bag, which is going to look very elegant and it’s also going to be very practical.
4. A Pair of Sunglasses
Whether you’re a sunglass man or not, sunglasses are important because they’re going to protect your eyes from the sun, prevent you from squinting, which creates wrinkles around your eyes, and they can add a stylish, cool touch to your outfit.
5. Stylish Socks
You obviously need to have a few pairs of socks in your wardrobe, but don’t neglect the socks that you’re wearing on your feet.
Remember it’s all about the finer details, so the socks you wear on your feet play a part in your overall style. Opt for a few pairs, a few that inject colour and a few that are classic and will go with most outfits.
A good choice of socks are an easy way to make a subtle statement and express a little bit more personality.
6. A Wallet
If you’re buying someone a drink and you pull out your fabric Spiderman wallet, it’s not going to go down very well. Again focus on quality and you’ll be able to keep the same wallet for years to come.
7. A Tie
Even if your day to day style is casual, you still need to own at least one tie. You can also opt for something that injects some colour to an outfit, and going for a silk can nicely offset other fabrics.
Some of these items you may not wear often, but there will be an occasion, as a grown man, when you will need them and you’ll be thankful that you thought far enough ahead to take care of them before it’s too late and you’re scrambling at the last minute.
