\t\t\t\tMen\u2019s fashion is more complicated than ever before. The ever-changing and increasingly experimental trends have made it difficult to know what basic items you should own.\u00a0 That’s why we put together a<\/span>\u00a0list of accessories that every man should own regardless of their age, job or fashion. The list includes items you may not need to use every day, but you\u2019ll be thankful you have them when you need them<\/span><\/p>\n

A Wrist Watch<\/b><\/p>\n

A wristwatch is possibly the best accessory any man can own. It serves a clear function and gives a cool and elegant look to any style. Try to choose a classic design with a leather or metal strap rather than a digital watch. <\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to smartwatches, if you\u2019re into that kind of thing, they can be great for everyday use but switch it out for an analogue watch for a smarter look for a celebration or event. A wide range of straps are also available, so change the original strap for something a little more fashionable.<\/span><\/p>\n

No everyone can run out and buy a Rolex but there are plenty of trusted brands who create quality watches for a reasonable price. You may not be a \u201cwatch guy\u201d but even if you only wear one on a special occasion, they\u2019re still an excellent thing to own.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Decent Leather Wallet<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say, by the age of 21, you should have ditched your velcro wallet. They\u2019re tacky and generally ineffective. Pick up a functional, leather wallet that\u2019s built to last. Keep it classic in black or brown leather with any other colors on the inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep the contents to a minimum. Don\u2019t carry around receipts or loyalty cards with a single stamp on them for a place you\u2019ll never go back to. Just carry the bare essentials – credit cards, ID and emergency cash. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Nice Pair of Cufflinks<\/b><\/p>\n

Every suit needs a well-fitting dress shirt to finish it off. And every dress shirt needs a a nice pair of <\/span>cufflinks<\/span><\/a> to finish it off. So whenever you\u2019re wearing a suit, if you want to look your best, you\u2019re going to be wearing cufflinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cufflinks come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and designs. Opt for a classic and stylish pair that can be used every time you wear a suit. Stick to a plain design that won\u2019t date for a pair that you\u2019ll be able to wear for years. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Signature Scent<\/b><\/p>\n

Although this may not be a traditional accessory, every man needs to have a couple of good colognes for both everyday use and special occasions. Avoid buying cheap aftershaves from inappropriate shops and stick to department stores and well-known brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we’ve noted before<\/a>, every scent will smell different on different people. Test out an aftershave before buying it. <\/span><\/p>\n

You should avoid drowning yourself with the stuff. Even the nicest cologne will become unpleasant if it\u2019s too overpowering. Keep it to a couple of sprays on the neck for the best results. This will help make the aftershave last for at least a year or so and keep your cost down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good Sunglasses<\/b><\/p>\n

Whether you wear them every day or just when you\u2019re on holiday, every man should have a good pair of sunglasses. They help protect your eyes from the bright light of the sun whilst looking great. Sunglasses also stop you squinting, a contributing factor to eye wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try to choose a pair of sunglasses that suit your face, don\u2019t just pick up the first cheap pair you find. You may think the guys from Top Gun look cool in their aviators but if they don\u2019t suit you, don\u2019t wear them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hair, Beard and Skin Product<\/b><\/p>\n

Every man should establish a skincare and grooming routine that\u2019s suitable for them. Work in a face wash, an anti-ageing moisturizer no matter what age you are as well as hair and beard products to style yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these products come in hundreds if not thousands of different lines (though we are always happy to shamelessly plug our house brand Rascal<\/a>) so find a product that works well for you. When it comes to your hair and beard, ask your stylist or barber for their advice. They\u2019re fully trained and deal with different styles and hair types every day. Use their experience as they\u2019ll be happy to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tie Collection<\/b><\/p>\n

Wearing a <\/span>tie<\/span><\/a> with a suit may not be quite as common as it once was, however, it\u2019s an easy way to add a touch of class to your outfit. You should own a few classic neckties in different colors to match your suits but black is a definite must. It\u2019s worth also owning at least one bowtie and one wool tie to make sure you\u2019re ready for any occasion. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to your ties, you should also have a tie clip or bar to keep them in place. They\u2019re an additional eye-catching accessory opportunity for a better look. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Good Pen<\/b><\/p>\n

It may be a digital world we now live in but you never know when a pen will be come in handy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Find a reliable pen with black ink that you can easily keep on your person at all times. You may not need it very often but you\u2019ll be thankful you have it when you need it.<\/span><\/p>\n
