Style plays a crucial role in the perception of a man’s fashion sense and can significantly elevate his overall appearance. Accessories also reflect a man’s individuality and personal taste, adding a touch of creativity and brio to any outfit. Whether dressed up or down, the right accessories can complete any look and make a man look, feel, and be seen as confident. Small details, from bracelets to rings, make a significant impact in defining a man’s look. Yet you need five must-have accessories to complete a stylish look.
Non-digital watch
The best Non-digital watches feature a timeless design hand-crafted by a horologist with precision, and their craftsmanship is expressed through the elegance of the timepiece. Quality mechanical watches are made with high-quality materials and immense attention to detail and can vary from simple designs to strikingly valiant creations that express the personal style of the individual wearing them. You will receive a compliment when you wear one and may not have to break the bank. There are great non-digital watches in all price ranges and search for vintage watches that capture your personal style.
Sock Game
The most missed element of personal style is socks. Often hidden by shoes and jeans or slacks, a fantastic pair of socks transform your outfit more than a tie, pocket square, or tie bar. You can wear them casually or formally; when people see them, and they stand out or are stylish, people tend to complement them. It may take confidence to try floral-designed patterned socks. The best part is that there are many alternative patterns, colors, styles, and pairs of socks to choose from. Note, stay away from political or sexually suggestive socks. These can place you in unique situations that may not reflect well on your personal band.
Sunglasses
If you remember anything, remember this, one good pair of sunglasses is better than many pairs of average ones. Imagine Tom Cruise in Top Gun not wearing aviators or Bruce Lee not wearing a pair of Persol Ratti Pininfarina that were a gift from Steve McQueen? You can’t separate these sunglasses from the iconic image, and that is how vital and transformative the right sunglasses are. The right pair allows you to transcend your personal style. Take your time picking up multiple pairs of glasses. Just one or two excellent pairs will do. The added bonus is that a quality pair protects your eyes from harmful UV rays. Some like polarized, while others don’t. Either way, pick a pair that reflects you and that you can use with many different outfits.
Wallet
Most people pay little attention to the condition of their wallet for an accessory that we don’t leave home without and is used daily. I have seen so many wallets battered, bruised, and even neglected. Most buy a new one when their last one is on its last leg. Women figured this out decades ago. Their purse and wallet combination is on point. It’s time to catch up and make your wallet up to par with the rest of your outfit. The type of wallet is crucial because it depends on what kind of activities you tend to do. A traveler like myself who uses my digital wallet a lot carries a simple style wallet, while others who are cash, card, and receipt heavy will need a thicker wallet. No matter your personal choice, your wallet should be durable, have the sleeves you will use, and have a bit of style. I am not saying it has to be bright yellow with the designer’s name all over it. A nice or subtle embossed design or pattern with quality materials is appreciated.
Belt
The belt on the surface is a classic piece that can serve as a soft accessory to your outfit. Little do most know the right belt can make or break an outfit. Typically paired with your shoes and your watch, ensuring you have the right belt can change the look of your outfit. There is an element of dapperness in wearing the right belt. The color, material, and belt buckle all factor in tying your outfit together. Make sure it is good.
