I have a riddle for you. How do you make casual, office, and formal outfits from just one blue shirt? Answer: accessories. Okay, it’s not really a riddle, but accessorizing can seem like a riddle if you don’t know where to start.
I’m going to give you a quick rundown of accessory options for all your different looks.
Watches. From casual to dress watches, these are a great go to accessory for every look. Dates, meetings, interviews, brunch, cocktails, meeting your girlfriend’s parents, taking your dog to the dog park, you get it. Slap one of these bad boys on and you just took your outfit from “your dog is cute” to “your dog is cute and so is your watch :)” Check this link out on how to choose the right watch. https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/mans-guide-wristwatches-choose-watch/
Sunglasses. Not only do sunglasses objectively make everyone look cooler, but they protect your eyes from long term damage from the sun. Sounds like a win-win to me. Here’s a visual guide to choosing sunglasses. https://www.stylesofman.com/best-sunglasses-men/
Belts. Like sunglasses, belts are the perfect marriage of fashion and function. You can use belts to bring together your outfit’s color scheme. Match your belt color to your shoe color to create a unified look. Belts are also a great way of distinguishing the “fanciness” level of your outfit. Opt for a leather belt for a more formal event, and try a webbed belt for a more casual look. What’s a webbed belt? Find out here. https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/complete-guide-mens-belts/
Jewelry. For the more adventurous dressers, there is lots of men’s jewelry to try. A classy chain, a cool ring here or there, or rustic and tough looking leather bracelet. Just spitballing here, but there are a ton of options. Check it out. https://www.menshealth.com/style/a27889926/mens-jewelry-guide/
These are just a few of the main categories of men’s accessories. Try some out, experiment, have fun. Take your outfits from mannequin basic GQ cool. The point is that you find stuff you like and that makes you feel confident in your own unique style.
