5 Accessories Every Man Needs in 2021
Accessories that are worth your time and money
1. A Good Watch
A good watch is like a well tailored suite, you feel great when wearing it and people take notice. Please note that not all watches are created equal, and price doesn’t always equal quality. You can purchase some nice automatic watches for relatively cheap and they will be great quality such as a Seiko 5, Orient Kanno or Bulova Marine Star. When looking for watches you can’t beat an automatic timepiece. The sweet spot for a great quality watch that is worth the price is between $350-$800. In this range Hamilton, Citizen, Longines are great brands. Also don’t be afraid to buy used from a reputable dealer.

2. Slim Wallet
Days of your dad wallets with hundreds of receipts, dollar bills, and stamp cards are gone. Not only are bulky wallets unappealing but how can you even fit them in your skinny jeans? In todays world all you need is a few credit cards, maybe a couple bucks, and that’s about it. Even stores are recommending card only or exact cash only, so why even carry more than a credit card? The best wallets in 2021 are just card holders that can hold up to at least 6 cards. You can go for some luxury Louis Vuitton card holder or a simple Herschel card holder like the one listed below but either way it is an accessory you need in 2021. Please ditch that bulky trifold wallet and get yourself a nice card holder.

Nothing pulls together an outfit like a pair of sleek sunglasses. Sunglasses are a good way to dress up or dress down. You can wear a plain black shirt, jeans, and a nice pair of modern sunglasses and go anywhere. When shopping for the perfect sunglasses you don’t have to get designer glasses because there are so many local designers that are making great affordable sunglasses too. If you’re looking for a classic look that will never go out of fashion the Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a must. Definitely go to a shop and try on different styles because we all have different face shapes and you need to find the perfect pair that complements your face type.

Now hear me out, you need a nice pen. I know it’s 2021 and you have a phone with you at all times but a pen should be a part of your everyday carry. Think of all the times you needed a pen but didn’t have one or you had to barrow a pen from someone during the pandemic. A pen is something that doesn’t take up too much space but when you need it, it comes in clutch. I am not saying to go and spend $800 on a Montblanc pen but definitely upgrade that Bic pen you keep in your car. You can find some nice sturdy ones on Amazon for less than $40.
5. Modern Shoes/Sneakers
The final accessory every guy needs is a nice clean pair of shoes. There are so many different types of shoes out there and picking just one style is impossible. The shoes that you’ll need is something that you take good care of, that can be worn in multiple social settings, and is in style. 2021 is an interesting year because it seems like its the year of the “Sneakerhead,” and sneaker culture is taking the forefront of mens shoe fashion. The shoe that comes to most people’s minds is the Air Jordan 1. You can grab a pair of Jordan 1’s in virtually any color combination and you can dress them up and dress them down. If sneakers aren’t your thing you can’t go wrong with a wingtip Oxford which can also be worn with jeans or a suit. This Wingtip Oxford is under $100 on Amazon right now.
