Sure, you could have a great product or service that could wipe the floor with your competitors, but if you have the right look to go along with it, you might as well pack it up and call it a day. In the business and finance world the ones who survive and thrive are the ones who have a great service and have the kind of look that opens the door before they open their mouths to speak. That means a gentleman in this field has to have the right accessories – and this is what this guide is all about.
A Nice Cologne
Let’s talk scents. You might be thinking, “Who cares how I smell?” But trust us – it’s a big deal. Your perfume will go ahead of you and announce you before you enter a space and linger longer after you are gone – which is a good thing – especially if you choose the right cologne. That perfect cologne – maybe something with leather, tobacco, or spicy notes – will make an impression and say something about you. Thus, it is a must-have in any professional man’s closet!
A Luxurious Watch
A watch is more than a simple way to tell time – it’s a fashion statement that tells others exactly where you stand. Take Jomashop’s Rolex submariner watches. They are an investment in luxury watches that reflect your personality and professional demeanor. Go with a classic leather band or a sleek metal bracelet, but keep it on the sophisticated side. You want to exude power and poise, not bling.
Tailored Suits in Classic Colors
First things first: the building block of any fashionable gentleman: the suit. Invest in a few perfectly fitted suits in neutral colors like navy, charcoal, and black. A great suit can elevate your outfit as well as your confidence. Stick with a single breasted jacket with basic details such as notch lapels to keep things ultra classic. And please, for your own sake, have your suit tailored!
Crisp, Well-Fitted Shirts
Nice shirts are the workhorses of a gentleman’s ensemble. You need to go for shirts that are an impeccable fit — pieces perfectly cut to your body without hugging it too close. Go with classic prints like whites, light blues, and subtle stripes. When pressed and donned with a suit, a shirt contributes a well-groomed ensemble and a message of detail and care in its wearer. Extra credit for selecting a quality material like cotton or linen!
Stylish Ties for Every Occasion
No gentleman’s look is complete without a discerning tie. Pick a tie that is in agreement with that suit and shirt and that boasts rich colors and tasteful prints (patterns that won’t overly modify the look). A silk tie makes for the most lavish choice and can really make the look. Experiment with fabric textures and tie widths, but ply restraint and don’t overdo it.
A Classy Leather Bag
Uplift a run-of-the-mill style with a nice leather bag that conjoins utility and beauty. Whether a messenger bag or a briefcase, a sleek leather satchel will help you tote around your wares – and stylishly so, all the while lending a polished professionalism to the outfit. Choose a classic color, like black or tan, so the object does not clash with the ensemble. A quality leather bag or briefcase makes a statement!
A Timeless Wallet
A men’s wallet is a subtle but important essential you should never ignore. Simply splurge on a fine leather wallet that is also easy to slip into your pocket and carry around. Stick to a simplistic design and avoid anything too bulky. A carefully organized wallet means you care enough about your appearance to leave an impression. When you have to use your wallet or business card holder, you will have a professional pulled-together look.
Refined Accessories: Tie Pins and Cufflinks
You’ll be surprised at how much accessories like tie clips or cufflinks can smarten up a neat look. Remember to only add a few and opt for designs that are understated yet elegant. Head for silver or gold in tie-clips and cufflinks in order to match your collection with your suits and silk ties. The right accessories not only make it easier to complete your presentation, but they also call attention to the inner fashionable man in you!
Tasteful Jewelry
Jewelry tends to be something men are afraid to touch but that should never be the case. Go for a simple ring, a dapper bracelet, or a timeless signet ring to wrap up the package. Choose a piece that best suits your personality, but also adds a touch of flair, subtlety and style!
