Whether you’re a gentleman looking for handy tips or someone with a suave guy in their life and needing inspiration for quality gifts to buy them, it pays to be on the lookout for top products worth investing in.
In particular, stylish men are known for possessing impeccable and beneficial accessories. Here are some that every guy needs to have on hand.
Story Stages
Key Organizer
Stylish men understand the importance of key accessories in creating a high-end look. Simple items like a compact key organizer can make all the difference; it helps keep keys tidy, prevents damage to their garments from jangling keyrings, and offers easy access when needed.
Elegant Watch
It’s always good when the accessories we have can be practical as well as fashionable. An elegant watch can not only let you know the time and the date but help complete an outfit. Wearing the right watch can elevate your look and make it easy for people to see that you have good taste. Choose a piece from a trusted brand known for quality craftsmanship, and avoid anything too gaudy or flashy.
Plus, pick a watch that suits your wrist size and what you need it to do. For example, if you do a lot of swimming or diving, you might like to invest in a watch that’s water resistant to a high degree so you can wear it when you’re in the ocean or the pool, etc. You may want a smartwatch that can sync up to your smartphone to get alerts on text messages, calls, emails, and the like. Plus, paired with earphones, watches these days can allow you to listen to music, take and make calls, learn the weather details, track your steps and heart rate and sleep, and more.
Wallet Built to Last
Another practical accessory is a wallet, since you store many valuable things in it, such as your credit and debit cards, cash, membership cards, license, and perhaps even a business card or two. If you’re still carrying around your old wallet from school or college, now is the time to update it.
Choose a leather wallet or another option that’s built to last so when you’re out and about and pull out your wallet to pay, you don’t give the wrong impression with something that’s looking too worn or that features Velcro! A well-made product will last five to ten years, so it’s well worth the investment.
Beautiful Writing Instrument
In this technical day and age, when most of us are on our gadgets consistently, nothing says old-school style like using a beautiful writing instrument. Consider splurging on a more expensive option, such as a sophisticated Mont Blanc fountain pen. This product won’t turn your illegible scratches into stunning handwriting, but it does communicate to those around you that you’re a classy gentleman worth taking seriously.
Plus, once you get used to this tool, you’ll find that fountain pens are smooth and consistent to write with and helpful for making notes during interviews, workshops, webinars, and the like.
Cool Sunglasses
Of course, we all need some cool sunglasses in our lives to pull out when it’s glary to protect our eyes. However, purchase the right, fashionable shades for your face shape and size, and you’ll up your stylish vibes in a heartbeat, too. Sunglasses are also one of the most essential accessories to travel with, whether you choose a classic aviator style, or some round, Wayfarer, Clubmaster, or browbar glasses.
It’s worth having one pair in brown and one in black so you’re set to pair some cool shades with any outfit, but the main thing is to buy frames that fit you properly and protect your eyes adequately while finishing off your look.
Go-with-Anything Cufflinks
Cufflinks may not be worn by many guys in many situations these days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go your own way. You might like to save the use of your cufflinks just for special occasions, such as a wedding, big birthday, or work event, when you’re wearing a tuxedo or a nice suit. However, these accessories can also be worn daily in the office if you’re a shirt-and-tie wearing guy or out on dates when you’re looking to dress to impress.
There are many cheap options on the market, but it’s best to pick out cufflinks made from a durable material that won’t tarnish or break over time. For example, you might like a pair in stainless steel, gold, or some other metal.
Other accessories that stylish men always have on them or ready to go in their closets include a quality leather belt, fashionable dress shoes, and a handy messenger bag. Plus, you might like to purchase a Swiss Army knife or another multi-tool so you’re prepared for any situation and, if you’re a cigar fan, set yourself up with a cigar humidor in your home.
You can purchase these items one by one across the year to spread out the cost if you need to buy many of the above accessories, or you might even ask family members or friends to pick out some of these options for you as birthday or Christmas gifts.
Stock up on quality items today, and you’ll make a great first impression no matter where you go.
