Since we're on the Top 10's tip, I figured I compile a list of my Top 10 Essentials everyone should have right now.
Peep my list below:
1. "Black/Black" Watch - Every gent needs a good watch and what better way to tell time than with a nice, yet fashion friendly piece. The whole "All Black Everything" movement is still going somewhat strong but nothing screams sleek than an all black watch. Some personal fav's are the Nixon 42-20 (Black/Black/White), Timex TX and Meister.
I would suggest copping a carbon fibre watch since those appear to be the next thing but you'll also be spending some serious coin for one of those. I would suggest the Oris for those looking @ CF.
2. Classic "Dark Framed" Sunglasses - Summertime means patios and sun which means its time to bring out the shades. What better way to protect your eyes than with some sunglasses! My personal favs are the Ray Ban Wayfarer Classics but special mention goes out to Supers as well who are killing the spectacle game at the moment. Trends come and go but classics last a lifetime!
3. Overnight/Tote Bag - Now I know most of you are probably thinking that these bags aren't very masculine but lets be real here; backpacks should be used for school/camping and duffle bags should be left for the gym. When picking a bag to lug your stuff around for an overnight stay at your lady friends, its important to get something that does its job well and also looks good while doing it. I suggest Herschel's tote, its got enough personality and is sneakerhead friendly!
4. Selvage Denim - Jeans are always a good alternative to your day to day uniform and selvage is where it's at! Everyone owns a pair of jeans that they throw on during the weekends and just love. A new spin on denim is the emergence of selvage denim which boasts greater quality and build than your standard denim (identified by the red stiching along the inseam of the pant leg). When growing up, folding your jeans were never the "cool" thing to do, however with selvage, folding has never looked so good! I suggest Cheap Monday's, they're a good fit and look great!
5. The "Polo" Shirt - Another staple in any man's wardrobe, the polo shirt is considered formal enough to rock at work without looking childish while still being cool in the streets. Granted you get one that fits you and not one that you're swimming in. The right polo will fit you like a glove and hug you in all the right spots. You'll look smart and trendy at the same time as long as you refrain from popping the collar and avoid company logo wear (unless you work for any of the top polo shirt makers). I recommend the Ralph Lauren "Custom Fit", JL and Fred Perry.
Stay tuned for 6-10 next week!
