Fresh Friday 2.12.10

Introduction: This week’s segment of Fresh Friday is dedicated to all men’s accessories. Usually most men don’t think of the types of things they can accessorize with, other than their shoes or a cool belt. And then most of the time you can barely see either of the two. Reality the Don and I have come up with some cool accessories that men should consider when putting together their look.



Scarves: scarves are another accessory that adds a nice finishing touch. They can be worn for more than just keeping warm in the winter. It gives you a chance to give off that “Hollywood” look.




Headphones: I decided to include headphones because there are so many options out there that people don’t know about. (And because I knew Reality would really like this) I’m sure most of our male readers have some type of iPod, Zune or music player in their basics they like to have with them all the time. It’s nice to have something different than the typical ear buds.






Suspenders: Suspenders are no longer just for grandfathers and nerds. They offer a way to create a unique look for the style conscious young man. I prefer them in more formal settings or with business attire.






Duffle Bags: This is not quite the typical metrosexual “man bag,” but I thought this was a cool accessory it can be used when going on trips or something to keep all your basics in and keep in the car.




Watches: This is another accessory that majority of men are wearing, so why not try to get creative and find a non-traditional, casual watch that you can wear everyday. You can switch them out with a dress watch or other casual watches.




Glasses/Personality Frames: I can remember being a kid and pretending like I could see because I didn’t want to wear my glasses. I didn’t want to get made fun of. Now you see fly guys like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi wear glasses or personality frames. It’s a nice addition to any gentlemen’s outfit.



Bow tie: the sight of bow ties has declined recently but the bow tie is one of my personal favorites on a man. Some may believe that if worn they will not be taken seriously. But the bow tie is a nice way to do something other than the norm when dressing up or it can be worn casually when out and about or to a particular event other than an after 5.
