5 Must Have Accessories for Men
Posted on February 18, 2008 by admin
My Valentine’s Day post got me thinking about men and fashion. The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Below are my suggestions, with a little help from Russell Simmons and the Seattle Times, for the top five accessories every well-dressed man should have:
1. A GREAT BELT BUCKLE. Whether western or minimalist, a stylish belt buckle dresses up everything from jeans and t-shirt to slacks and blazer.
2. CUFF LINKS. Debonair and seriously sexy. Makes me think of a time before casual Fridays, when men dressed for dinner and women dressed their age. 
3. A WATCH. Timex, Tag, Rolex. No matter. Just match your other accessories to the metal–silver, bronze, etc–you choose for your watch.
4. A RING. Most men don’t don one of these until they’re hitched, but a simple band worn on the right ring finger is contemporary cool.
5. A GREAT PAIR OF SHOES. Could be cowboy 
boots, could be wingtips. Just choose something that reflects your personal style and run with it. And speaking of running, no track shoes unless you’re on the track.

Good advice. I agree with everything except the ring. I’ve never liked jewelry on a man. I’ve always felt that for a man, a ring should only come with marriage.
men and fashion, whom ever wrote it is old with no style, timex… give us a break.
Ouch. Since when did 34 become old? But, I am not one to squelch the opinions of dissenters, so props Jerry for paying attention. Timex was referenced in the interest of inclusiveness…not everyone can afford a Rolex. Thank God I didn’t mention a Swatch.
