Not a lot of people know how to take a good outfit and make it great. It sounds like a difficult thing to do, but the reality is that the smallest things make the difference.
We’ve all heard that the devil is in the detail, and it couldn’t be more true, especially when it comes to men’s style.
It doesn’t matter how expensive your shirt is, it doesn’t matter how amazing your shoes are if you don’t utilize the power of accessorizing you could potentially be ruining what has the potential to be an amazing outfit.
The goal of today’s post is not to show you some new and crazy accessories you’ve never seen before (I’ll leave that for some other time). The goal is to remind you of the basics and convince you to wear them on a daily basis to help you look as sharp and polished as possible by using the power of simple and yet easily forgotten pieces every man should use.
WATCH
Not wearing a watch and looking good rarely go hand in hand.
A man who doesn’t wear a watch sends a powerful subconscious message that he doesn’t value his time, and that’s just not the message a modern man who cares about his image should send to the world.
I know it sounds basic, and it is, but the reason I’ve decided to include it is that I see a lot of men who just don’t wear watches and I really don’t want you to be one of them.
BRACELET
The next accessory every man should wear regularly is a bracelet. A simple beaded bracelet is an amazing addition to almost every outfit and it instantly adds a certain amount of edginess and bad boy charm to your style.
RING
For some strange reason, not a lot of men wear rings, other than wedding rings, of course. Not quite sure why.
Rings send a powerful message, and wearing ones makes a statement.
It says “I’m here, and don’t f*#k around.”
Rings have a certain charm and any man who wears them is a step closer to being a so-called ‘bad boy’ women seem to adore.
If you don’t own a ring I strongly suggest you buy one, and if you want to know more about ring symbolism and how to wear one like a man, here’s an amazing video from RealMenRealStyle.
FRAGRANCE
Even though colognes may not be an accessory in a traditional sense, they are the most important thing on this list and something that’s not to be skipped.
If you smell amazing, it just can’t go unnoticed. I’ve said it a lot of times and I’ll say it again: Everyone loves when people around them smell amazing.
It’s a fact.
And it could be your magic pill.
SUNGLASSES
I’m not talking about the old sunglasses you bought on a vacation, I’m talking about a high-quality badass pair of sunglasses that are impossible to go unnoticed.
Something like these,
Or these
Or even something as simple and timeles as these
Accessories are not the first thing men think about when they think about what to wear, but they’re way more important than we give them credit. Most men don’t take advantage of that, and they let even something as simple and basic as the things on this list ruin their looks, don’t be one of those men.
Wear accessories, be a bad boy.
