5 Accessories Every Man Should Have

The devil is in the details, especially when it comes to the accessories you use to complete your outfit.

The devil is in the details, especially when it comes to the accessories you use to complete your outfit. As a man, accessories might not be top of mind when you get dressed for the day. However, if you’re looking to redefine your look and get some attention, accessories can go a long way. Whether you want to be more presentable at work, or you’re trying to catch the eye of someone special during a night out, accessories can be your perfect wingman.

Take a look at the top five accessories every man should have in their wardrobe.

1. Watch

If there’s one accessory every many should have, it’s a watch. Watches are extremely versatile, and can go with a plethora of different outfit combinations. Not only are they stylish, but they’re practical too. From sprinting through the streets to catch your train to making sure you’re on time for your meeting, a watch can help you add “punctual” to your character traits on your resume.

As you start your watch-buying journey, it can be easy to become overwhelmed. Should I get a gold watch, or a silver watch? Or should I opt for a leather wristband or silicone wristband? What about smartwatches? These are just some of the questions you may be asking yourself. Once you begin looking, think about your personal preferences and style. For example, if most of your suit jackets come with gold buttons, get a gold watch. Or, if you have multiple pairs of brown leather shoes, get a watch with a brown leather wristband. 

2. Sunglasses

The right pair of sunglasses can turn you into a celebrity instantly. Think Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and George Clooney. These A-Listers are frequently seen around the Hollywood Hills and beyond in a sleek pair of Aviators, Clubmasters, or Wayfarers. When looking for sunglasses for men, it’s important to keep your head shape in mind. For example, if you have more of a square-shaped head, you’ll want square-shaped sunglasses. If you have more of an oval-shaped head, you’ll want oval-shaped sunglasses.

In addition to shape, there are various materials and lens types to choose from, such as:

  • Tortoise shell
  • Metal
  • Plastic
  • Wood
  • Buffalo horn
  • Acetate
  • Polarized
  • Mirrored
  • Photochromatic
  • Gradient

If shopping in-person, don’t be shy to ask for help from one of the floor salespeople. They often know a thing or two about sunglasses and what looks best, so they can help you find the perfect pair.

3. Dress Socks

5 Accessories Every Man Should Have

Believe it or not, dress socks can make a huge difference to your outfit. While most of the time your dress socks will be hidden away, they often show when you sit down or cuff your pants. These scenarios are perfect for showing off your sense of style, mostly because your socks are such a subtle accessory. Rather than your standard black or white dress sock, add a little pizzazz to your outfit with a patterned dress sock. From polka dots to plaid and striped to checkered, a vibrant pair of dress socks will look perfect with loafers, oxford shoes, and derby shoes.

4. Belt

No matter where you go, you’re most likely going to need a belt. When it comes to men’s accessories, two colors always reign supreme: black and brown. Every man should have a black belt and a brown belt hanging up in their closet. This is because black and brown don’t match, so when you wear black shoes, you’ll need a black belt, and when you wear brown shoes, you’ll need a brown belt. This is one of the oldest fashion tips in the book, so make sure you follow it at all costs. If possible, make sure your watch matches your belt, too.

5. Weekender Bag

When it’s time to escape the city for a long weekend, you’re going to want a weekender bag. Rather than the rugged backpack you’ve been using for years, invest in a sleek and stylish weekender bag to pack your belongings. Black and brown leather are perfect options and will match any outfit you wear.

Wrapping Up

Men’s accessories are essential for any outfit. While this list is definitely non-exhaustive, it serves as a great starting point if you want to get into the accessory game. Other accessories to keep your eyes on include rings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, wallets, scarves, and ties.
