Accesories

   Accessories are something not all guys are familiar with, or just prefer not to pay attention to it. An accessorie is the difference between simple and conservative to edgy and cool. Things like rings, bracelets, necklaces, and even pins fall into the category.
   I also don't mean just wearing your wedding ring or class ring. Its something you don't necessarily need to but chose to wear it to add detail. Theirs accessories made with different materials that help put the look all together.
  For example wearing a solid metal/platinum/silver bracelet (and or) ring with a suit just complements the look. Or if is a casual kind of day, a leather or straw/rope bracelet , gives it a free fresh feel to your look.
   Some may say you don't want yo over accessories, but I personally like it best. Why Not? show it of! I love to wear several small bracelets, rings, and possibly a necklace. If I was going to wear a suit I would keep it simple of course; maybe a ring, bracelet, and a pin.
  Accessories do not have to be expensive. (I love to thrift shop for them) So give it a chance, mix and match.

Color

   A  great way to lift your spirits, (and everyone around you) is to add a pop of color. Something so simple can make a different.
  Studies have shown that certain types of color emote different feelings from people. For example you can try something easy, like a change of color in your trousers or jeans.
   Instead of your typical black, brown, and blue; go for a solid pastel color light yellow, dark blue, or even red. Pair it up with a great solid blazer or vest. And your set for a casual day or night.
   You don't want too over do it so keep everything else a solid basic color. This is definitely an attention grabber, so be prepared to be point out and most certainly complemented.

Hats

   Theirs something about wearing a hat that just makes you hold your head up high and walk straighter. Once you put the hat on, you know attention is on you, theirs no hiding. So what do you do, you show it off.
   Theirs many types oh hats, for many types of occasions. Their Straw Fedoras, for a beach sunny day out
(Not only is it a cool accessory but its a great sun cover) Theirs Bowler hats, great when you wear a simple suit. Makes you look classy and modern.
   Theirs also many ways to wear it. The way you wear it can show the way your feeling. Wear it full on complete covering your head (conservative), or tilted back (laid back), tilted sideways (rocking).
   No matter how you choose to wear it or which type you choose to wear, keep it simple. You are already bringing attention to yourself with a hat, you don't want to over do it.
  
  

The "Man Bag"

   A fashion trend that is rising in the male population is the use of a "bag". For years men have been kind of forced to carry all daily essentials in a small compact wallet, that we usually carry in our back pocket (to avoid any unnecessary bulge in our front)
   We end up sitting on our wallet all day. So how can we help fix this problem? Simple, we need something that allows us to carry all we NEED and WANT without bringing to much attention.
  That brings us to the classic Satchel/Tote Bag, made famous in movies such as Indiana Jones and most recently in The Hangover. Their simple yet spacious, with various easy reach pockets and zippers.
   You can carry them on your arm or across the body (mail-man). You want to lean forward a cool classic look. Leather dark and smooth.
   I personally carry one. I tend to use it more as a long day essential and on weekends. That way I can carry all I need for the day with me.
  To give you an idea, this is what I carry:
-wallet
-cellphone
-iPad
-lotion
-lighter
-hand sanitizer
-camera
  

Take a Risk!

   We as guys tend to stick to only a certain type of "style", that we probably figured it was cool.
(Well mybe cool back in 8th grade! lol)
   We stick to what is comfortable, basic, and neutral. We dont what to stand out to much, or bring to much attention to ourself (since thats our girlfriends "job") 
   Ok guys! Lets take a step forward and take a chance in the style department. Lets show of just a bit, let our girlfriend know that we can also look well composed.
   Lets try some Colors, Textures, and Fabrics. Now I know what your thinking, "no way! thats not me". It doesn't have to be a dramatic change. Lets try it a step at a time.
  For example we can try:
-Scarf
-Pocket Squares
-Colored Tie
-Colored Socks
-Colored Shirt
  Trust me everyone will notice and complement you; on such a simple and basic small change.
  Give it a Try, and let me know how it goes.
