Fashion Accessories Every Man Needs

Fashion Accessories Every Man Needs

The ideal accessory can make or break your look. This is because when you’re missing one or two, the impression you are trying to create can look incomplete. That’s why you always need to utilize accessories whenever possible. Here’s a quick look at a few must-haves for men.

Backpacks

Like baseball caps and sneakers, the backpack is known for once being a sloppy afterthought but has become a coveted, considered purchase in the past few years. Designer backpacks for men are the most versatile item on this list, but they’re also the bag that you can buy three of and find a use for each one. Depending on your specific lifestyle, you might use a smart backpack if you happen to be a business casual commuter, a training buddy for your gym clothes, or a rugged companion for those weekends in the wilderness. 

Rings

Once upon a time, someone said that rings are used as finishing touches for fingers and wrists. A ring is critical for every gentleman, whether it’s a signet ring to wear with a suit or some other style. Signet rings will lend you an aura of class and royalty while other fashion rings will single you out as a style-conscious gentleman.

Gold Chains

The chain is a critical accessory that all gentlemen need to have in their collection, especially when wearing a shirt with the top two buttons undone or when wearing a turtleneck. When you add a gold chain to your outfit, your entire look changes. It’s like putting the icing on a cake, bringing all of the attention to bear on anything that’s hanging around your neck. Make sure it’s a good piece, stay away from knockoffs, and stick to quality and class.

Wristwear

This accessory category is essential, and every man needs to have wristwear in his collection. Wristwear comes in different forms, from Cuban bracelets to wrist chains, wrist beads, watches, and more. These accessories are quite important when wearing any type of shirt where the sleeves don’t cover the whole wrist. However, you have to be careful to not over-accessorize the wrists with a lot of items because it can come off looking cheap and busy even if the pieces aren't. 

Eyewear

When it comes to a crucial accessory, you can’t go wrong with glasses! These will draw multiple eyes right to you when you wear the right ones with the right fit. Because of the variety available, glasses can be multidimensional. You can wear them with a variety of outfits, depending on your mood or the occasion. You can get lenses that are plain, anti-glare, colored, dark, whatever you like! Glasses can easily be worn even on an average day even if you don't need corrective eyewear.

Footwear

This might seem a bit odd to some of you – you might be wondering if footwear can really be considered accessories? In truth, shoes are as difficult to define because they’re right in between two distinct categories – accessories and clothing. Typically, a fashion accessory can be sorted into one of two categories – ones you can wear, such as shoes, socks, gloves, scarves, hats, etc., and the ones you carry, such as umbrellas, bags, wallets, etc. Because of this, we’ve included footwear in this article. You should have at least one pair of footwear to wear to any sort of occasion.

The fashion world wouldn’t be complete without accessories. Gentlemen need to have at least one of each of the accessories we’ve talked about here today…and sometimes three or four.
