We are living in a generation of smartphones and most men will just take out their smartphones to see the time. To be different from most men, you need at least one good timepiece in your closet. Adding a watch to your outfit will increase your value and make you look sharper and smarter and people will take you seriously. A timepiece is essential but many men still don’t wear a watch. If you don’t own one, you’re missing out. Definitely invest in a good timepiece that will make you stand apart from the crowd. There are different types of watches available in the market.

The two major watch styles are digital and analog. Invest in a good and affordable analog watch if it’s your first timepiece, something that looks classy and will last you a long time. You can get other watch styles later to start building a collection.

2. A Solid Tie

A majority of men own at least one suit and for a suit, you need a tie. A solid black/grey tie is the best option if you’re buying your first tie.

Not only with suits but the tie is used in various work and formal outfits. Maybe you need to dress for a formal occasion where you’re not wearing a suit, but something like a shirt, a v-neck sweater, and trousers. Here you can add a tie to your outfit and it will look even better. A tie is an inexpensive item so definitely invest in one.

3. A Necklace

Yes, guys can also rock necklaces as it is not feminine at all. A necklace is an essential accessory for every stylish guy. Even if its one plain neck chain, it will do the job. You need at least one necklace that you can wear with various casual outfits. It is an important accessory to own in the summers. Not only a necklace is stylish but also makes your outfit and overall look better and you’ll look cooler than most of the guys.

If you’re getting your first necklace, just get something simple and minimal, a chain that is thin and light. Avoid the necklaces that are bulky and have crazy designs because that might look too feminine and will make you uncomfortable.

If you don’t own a necklace already, believe me, it’s an item that is worth spending money on. The other good thing about it is its price as some of these chains are very affordable. Just get one of these good and affordable necklaces and it will last you a good time.

4. Sunglasses

No essential accessory list is complete without a pair of sunglasses. Sunglasses are an amazing accessory with multiple benefits. They’ll protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun that are harsh in the summers and also prevent wrinkles around the eyes and these also are a style piece. You need at least one good pair that you can rock all the time, and for that, you can get the classic black wayfarer that we always recommend.

If you’re a teenager or older and buying your first pair, get the classic black wayfarer. These sunglasses suit almost all face shapes. There also are other cool styles you can get like the aviator and the clubmaster.

Sunglasses can really make or break an outfit so make sure to wear the right type of sunglasses, not too small or too large, that looks good on your face and suits it. Don’t get those sunglasses with ugly designs and crazy sports sunglasses that might ruin your outfit.

5. A Slim Wallet

Most of you might think that it doesn’t matter how your wallet looks. The thing about a good wallet is that it can really make you look classy and professional when you take it out from your pocket. So what is a good wallet? A wallet that is slim and minimal, and has quality. The big bulky wallet style that most use to own is now replaced by a modern slim wallet and it is the new wallet trend.

You can keep your receipts, cash, cards, and coins organized in a modern slim wallet and they will be in good shape. If you’ve not owned a wallet before or own a big bulky wallet that is, like in its last stage of holding on, make sure to get a new slim wallet soon.

6. A scarf

You might not be able to wear a scarf throughout the year, but for a couple of months when you rock it, you’ll look like a style professional. Most of the men don’t even like scarfs but you should get one and try it. Just adding a scarf to your cool winter outfits will instantly make them even cooler.

It feels soft around the neck like something hugging you, when you wear a scarf. It will also protect you from the cool winds during the cold seasons. Just get a lightweight scarf but not the big and heavy ones that will make you look ugly.

7. Baseball Cap

A baseball cap is another accessory that you won’t wear every day. It is an essential to own because you need a cap that will save your face and hair on hot sunny days, and don’t forget how stylish the hat is.

You may also wear it while playing sports or to the gym if you have long hair. It adds to your style and makes your casual outfit more stylish, but wearing the cap every single day can damage your hair. Wear it once in a while when you need to but not every day.

8. Belt

A brown or black leather belt needs to be in every man’s closet. Wear the brown leather belt when you wear brown dress shoes and the black for the black dress shoes to match those two accessories. This is not a rule though, you can always mix and see what looks good on you.

A leather belt will go with both your formal and casual outfits. These belts look good with all the pants you can think of like the chinos, denim, formal trousers, and even shorts.
