Accessories. Don’t you just hate that word? If it’s not coming out of woman’s mouth, it sounds like it should be said by somebody with a lisp. However, accessories complement and complete a look. It could be as simple as adding a dash of cologne or as complex as finalizing the finishing touches to your vintage 80s baby look, high top Gumby fade not included (please). For this article's purpose, we'll refer to "accessories" as "essentials". DRENCH Fashion & Style is all about self-help. This list of the top 7 essentials is a sure-fire way to receive a compliment or two from that new receptionist in the lobby. 7 essentials, 7 ways to get lucky. Let's begin!
Accessories
Watch -
“Excuse me? Do you have the time?” The perfect way to start off a conversation. If you want it to continue further, let’s add a little pizzazz to that swatch watch. My tip is this, if your suit or ensemble is a cold color (dark colors), go with a silver watch. Warm colors (light colors) call for a gold watch. An important rule of thumb: more discrete watches are for suits and your ostentatious timepieces are reserved for your casual everyday wear. Rules were made to be broken though.
Tie -
Naturally a suit is complemented with a tie. However, ties should be thought out more thoroughly than just “pick-one-and-go” in the morning. The length, the pattern, and the texture should all be taken in consideration. However, that topic is for another article, another time. Baby steps gentleman, baby steps.
Scarf -
When the temperature drops, there is no need for your personal style to subside with it. A scarf is a great way to add to your style, while staying conscious of your personal health. Try to go with the longer scarves, so you can have a variety of ways of wrapping them.
Hair -
Yes, hair is just as important for men too. It is so critical, because it can make or break your entire look. The best part about hair is that this is all you. It’s your head, make it fit your personal style. It has to be, it’s with you everyday, and you can’t take it off...hopefully.
Eyewear -
This is the most universal complement to any wardrobe. Such wide range, strangely only has two routes: Optical or Sunglasses. Surely, every man falls in where they're most comfortable, but they could not go wrong either way. Yet, they can go wrong either way. Finding the right eyewear is important. Go for something that suits the shape of your face.
Hat -
Your head needs clothing too! Don’t neglect the most important part of your body. It’s a great style booster, as well as projector from the sun’s harmful UV rays. WebMD suggests hats with brims that protect “your neck, ears, eyes, and scalp.” Here at DRENCH, not only do we upgrade your style, we upgrade your health too.
Cologne -
Cologne is what lingers in her nose, long after your first encounter. This does more than complement, it makes you stand out. Try to avoid scents that are popular. Choose a scent because it fits you as a person, not so much because of the name. Most importantly, just a dash gentleman. We want her in a trance, not a coma.
Try coming up with your own complements as well. There is nothing more refreshing in fashion than some originality. A way of easily going about this, is choosing something unconventional, and including it in your everyday wear. People will take notice. • end •
