Watches
Watches do more than just tell the time. They also tell the world that you are concerned about your time and the time of others. Watches can also show your elegance, grace, and sense of style.
Metal watch bands project strength and power, and are suitable for business and formal affairs. Watches with leather bands are better for informal occasions, like weddings and company parties. Canvas strap watches say you’re ready for some fun in the sun.
Men’s Leather Bracelets
Bracelets are not just for women anymore. Men’s leather bracelets come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and widths. Wide, braided leather bracelets have a rugged look that is suited to hanging with the guys.
Smaller bands provide a more understated accent. Men’s leather bracelets tell people that time isn’t important to you right now, but that you still care about your look.
Wallets
You pull your wallet out several times a day, so the impression your wallet makes is going to be a part of the impression you make. Plain black or brown leather wallets are best for communicating professionalism and power. Patterned canvas wallets can be more suited to informal looks, and can be a way of showcasing your taste.
Ties
Face it, ties are kind of old school, but they are still the best way to tie together a classy, sophisticated look. Wear a tie with a simple pattern and power colors to command respect. Wear solid colors to look professional but more low key. Avoid ties with pictures on them unless you’re going to a frat party.
Sunglasses
Owning a pair of high quality sunglasses is a necessity. Get sunglasses to match your style, be it sporty, casual or professional, just as long as they’re high end. Cheap sunglasses just tell everyone that you’re a cheap person.
Socks
Socks are the most overlooked and under-valued accessory in modern men’s accessory kits. A good sock can tie together sharp pants and expensive shoes.
Neutral colored socks without patterns are a sure fit for any formal dress occasion. Socks can also showcase your unique personality with eye-catching vibrant colors and patterns.
Conclusion
Accessories are an important part of the modern man’s arsenal of self expression. Accessories help to amplify the personal statement your outfit makes. By adding a few well chosen accessories to your choices, then you will be able to make a great impression in any situation.
