In general, darker jeans or pants are a better bet. After all, the snow can get muddy, accidents happen — but they will not show up so much on dark colors, so no outfits will get ruined right before a holiday party or get together with a date.

Now, a lost art: why do so few men carry handkerchiefs? You should. You should always have one with you, in fact — it is both stylish and gentlemanly.

Usually the contrasting cuffs and collar are white, but not necessarily. And really, the look all comes down to the tie you choose to wear with the shirt. If it is too pale in color and/or design, then the look will appear garish. If the tie is too plain, the style can look cheap.

Go bold with your tie but easy on the pattern of the shirt, more often than not. Silver, for instance, is a great accent color in the ties paired with this style.

You need to pay more attention to your face. Call attention to it. Draw the eyes to it. Make it stand out.

You know one of the best ways to do that? A hot pair of glasses. Give your eyes a break from the contacts sometimes. Glasses give you a great opportunity to express yourself. They can actually make you look fashionable and sophisticated, even if you are only wearing a comfortable tee shirt and your favorite pair of jeans.

If you can, it is best to have at least two pairs of glasses. One pair should be understated and subtle, the other pair can be a bit more fashion forward, a little bolder.

And if you do not need glasses to see, you can still use this trick. Just buy yourself some ultra cool shades.

There is no question, however, that a bright spot or vibrant accenting piece in your ensemble can give it what it needs to be edgy. In certain cases, doing so can even lend an elegance and sophistication to what you are wearing. Such as when you give in to the return of handkerchiefs as accent pieces.

With a hanky in your front pocket, you can accentuate your outfit without overwhelming, as a brightly colored jacket might do. You typically want to make your handkerchief match a color in your shirt, tie, et cetera, or at least make it complementary.

Do not be a cheapskate with your handkerchiefs, either. The standard white one can take you far, but definitely do not be afraid of bolder colors, such as win or burgundy, a dark green, pale blues — even purple is sometimes acceptable.

But anyway! Back to the point. Ever since its inception by John Juniper and Jeff Solorio in 1996, the Dita brand has had its finger on the pulse of accessory trends. The 2009 collection is no less extraordinary — especially the Dita Challenger Sunglasses, seen here in all three available styles. You can get them for four hundred dollars — and trust, they are definitely worth the cash.

Guys, we all know that you love hats.  It is true!  Constantly, I am seeing guys walk around in hats these days and to be honest, I think that hats are pretty gosh-darn sexy.  Hats are one of those staples though that you need to know when you can pull one off and when you can not.

For example, if you are on a first date?  A hat might not be the most acceptable thing to wear but if you are comfortable around the person, wearing a hat is completely acceptable. Now, you need to first find the right hat that fits you.  This can be a difficult task as hats are almost like clothing and everyone has particulars about clothing.

Just remember to take your face shape in mind and who knows, maybe you are one of those dudes that can pull of any type of hat!  Look at yourself in the mirror before you go out in the hat though … if it does not look good, break down and do you hair before going out instead of wearing a hat!

We all know that most men are all about the fashion accessories … if they have some sort of function to them.  Well, you will be happy to know guys that Andrea Valentini has thought about that and has actually made fashion have function as well.  This bag right here is a laptop bag that actually looks incredible and is certainly one of the top things this year for spring accessories for men.

Men are the type of people that will carry their laptop in pretty much everything.  One thing that you want to make sure of whenever you have a laptop is that it is protected.  You never, ever want to put your laptop into a carrying case that is not going to be safe for it.

This bag is actually inspired by nature and it is very computer-friendly.  It is definitely one luxury bag and has all sorts of features with it such as three interior pockets as well as a removable leather strap that is adjustable.

What many men do not realize is that they can wear necklaces.  Actually, as you probably notice, a lot of the celebrities that are men are constantly being seen in jewelry and while you do not have to go to the extreme by getting yourself a giant chain, if you have just a simple chain that looks nice with a few of your outfits, it will really set you in another class and certainly make you look that much richer.

When you are picking your chain, you want to make sure that you pick the one that suits not only your body and neck, but also your personality.  For example, if you like gold, get yourself a yellow gold chain, if you like silver, get yourself a silver chain, it all depends on what you want and what you are looking for.

Personally, I love a chain on a guy, I think it looks incredible and definitely can pull an entire outfit together.  So go on, add in some accessories to your wardrobe, I can promise that the ladies will like it!

Anyway, they’re aviators, but they have quite the distinct look due to the gradient squared glasses. I tried them on and they’re absolutely awesome — can’t wait for the sun to actually start shining.

On a plus, there’s also 100% UV protection. Yihaa!

Painful detail: Nordstrom has them cheaper. Bleh!

That’s what you have to have on your wrist! More info is right here!
