Men's Accessories

I know, I know.. the word "accessory"  makes you want to navigate right off this page, but believe me--a belt  and tie  make any guy 80% more attractive. Easily. Whether you're a professional man looking for daily attire, or you're the outdoor type looking for formal wear,  we can help. We've put together a few buying guides to help you find just what you're looking for, so if you don't love shopping this won't take long. If you do love shopping, great! You're in luck.

From the Neck Up

Because your head should never be neglected!

Accessories for your head
Sunglasses  Sunglasses are one of the most versatile accessories right now. A pair of aviators  that are not too big and not too small (try Ray Ban modified aviators ) is a great option for men. For an edgier pair of shades, check out Ray Ban Wayfarers.  For all you sports buffs, you can never go wrong with a polarized pair of Oakley's.  Just remember not to be that guy who wears his shades inside during nighttime. That guy is never a good guy to be.	Hats  Everyone loves a good hat! It's the one accessory that doesn't depend on your body size, shape or appearance. It's all about preference, so go for whatever makes you happy. Traditional baseball caps  are always an option, or pair a twill fedora  with a slim fitting suit and you're good to go.	Eyeglasses  Sunglasses are great if you have contacts, but make a statement with regular glasses if you need them. Ray Ban  makes some incredible eyeglasses for men and Prada  is always a winner in the eyewear department.

Man Bags

It's no longer unacceptable to carry a bag around town with you. If it's just to work or for a weekend trip across town, every guy should have some sort of bag he likes.

Man Bags
Briefcases  These are the traditional business bag for men. Take a look at leather briefcases  or an updated laptop bag.	Messenger Bags  For the younger crowd, messenger bags are a great option. Toss your computer  and work supplies inside and then throw it over your shoulder. These are also convenient for anyone who uses a bike  for transportation--hands free and it looks good.	Backpacks  Bookbags  are convenient for hands free travel. Just bear in mind that they do not look professional, so keep backpacks for travel and personal use only.

Shoes

The shoes you pair with an outfit will make or break the look. Feel free to mix and match but generally, stay away from brown shoes with black pants or vice versa.

Accessories for your Feet
Tennis Shoes  Tennis shoes are often the most comfortable option for men. However, keep in mind that bright white tennies don't go with everything. For some outfits you'll want something more fashionable, like Converse  or Adidas Tokios.	Dress Shoes Dress shoes are essential for work attire or formal attire. Bostonian's Calce  looks awesome with everything, but keep in mind the fit of each dress shoe. If you're not careful you could end up with serious foot problems, and bloody toes are never fun.	Sandals The first rule of sandals is to avoid pairing them with long pants, unless you are mimicking frat-boy attire. However, for the summertime a pair of flip flops is a must. Try Adidas  for some sporty sandal options.
