10 Hot Essentials for the Fashionable 20 Something
Lifestyle March 31st, 2008
It is told that fashion changes every day, but there are a few things that are always here to stay. It’s obviously in fashion all years around, and it’s something that every 20 something year old guy should always have in his wardrobe.

Most people we’ve come across always recommend the pure black or the charcoal grey suit for a man, especially when he wants to pick up his first blazer, but we say pick up a navy blue one any day. Navy blue is a lot better as it’s more neutral, and makes a young man look his age, maybe even younger. It brings out your sophisticated youthfulness without making it seem like you’re trying your best to “fit in” in a black suit.
It’s not as though people will suddenly think that you look older and full of gravitas because you are wearing a charcoal suit. As long as it fits well you’re going to look like a new shiny penny. The suit should fit well under any circumstances, don’t ever overlook that. You may not have a very expensive suit, but a trip to good tailor for alterations is never a waste of money.

During the cold or cooler seasons, you have to dress appropriately. Even if your body can adjust to the cold in a skinny tee, be fashionable. Get warm in a good looking V neck sweater over your white shirt, or if you have the physique, you could also wear the sweater with nothing in.

Every busy young man has his own stuff to carry. You’ve got to have your life on the move, and you need something to carry your PDA, cell phone, and anything else that keeps you connected with your girl and your boss. What you need is a classy leather messenger bag. It makes you look crisp, and the best part of it all, you can take all the stuff that bulges in your pockets out and leave it in your messenger bag, where it looks best and is safe too. In any case, you don’t need to look like those sad, sad men who look like slightly overweight utility workers, with a half dozen electronic devices beeping from their belts.

You should know that every young man in his twenties always has to have at least one rich white shirt. The reason is pretty obvious though. White shirt can pass off well at just about anything, whether it’s a party, a casual dinner, or during office hours. But most importantly, make sure it fits you well. Never look at the price tag when you go shopping until you’re at the counter, ready to buy it. White shirts are available at prices that vary by a huge margin and no two white shirts are usually the same. So pick yours based on your choice alone, and not on the price. If it comes dearly, so be it. If it comes easily, then thank life and take your granny out for a nice dinner.

Dark blue jeans are an all time favorite. And they look best when they’re allowed to age gradually from the rich starchy deep blue to the weathered rugged look that comes with washed age. It doesn’t matter if it’s a high waist one or a low waist one, or anything in between. What matters is the fit. Don’t ever pick something up that makes you look ruffled, and out of shape. And remember, good jeans do come at a price.

Every Young man needs a pair of these. They can be worn while dressing formal, and also with your jeans. Don’t skimp on them and don’t neglect them. The way you treat them should be the way you treat life, which is to say that they should be well worn but also well maintained. A scratch or two, or one minor crease on your shoes is fine, but anything more than that means it’s time to pick up another pair. And boy, at most times, your shoes can cost a lot more than everything else you’re wearing!

You’re a young man and you should travel whenever the opportunity presents itself. A duffle bag is the perfect traveling bag unless you are hiking. It should not be so precious that a man has to think twice about throwing it into the back of the truck, but at the same time, it should look good enough to be used while walking to places. Duffle bags come in different shapes and sizes, and with different price tags. The better looking the bag, the more power to you. But there is only one rule here. If it is too precious to be used, and used hard, it is not worth having.

For a classy fashionable man, sunglasses are an essential accessory, not only for their practicability but also for their style. The most important consideration to take when purchasing sunglasses is protection against ultra-violet rays, which comes in two types, UV-A radiation and UV-B radiation. The aviator is a style that most people look great in. If you have never worn aviator sunglasses, when you put them on for the first time you may think they look unusual on your face. Especially if they are large frames, but chances are, after a few days they will feel like the most comfortable thing in the world.
Every young man needs a classic pair of sneakers to sum up his crisp white shirt and dark jeans look. It doesn’t matter if your sneakers are a pair of original Adidas Stan Smith, Converse Chuck Taylor, or some designer variant. The important thing is that they are unadorned and classic in design. Classic sneakers are sneakers that are not just worn by young men. they look good worn by a 20 year old or a 60 year old. It doesn’t have to be insanely expensive, it just needs to look good on you.

Leather Belts are an integral part of a 20 something man’s life. But yet, we see a lot of young men who skip the belt because the buttons on the trousers do the job well enough. But it’s not just holding your pants up that matters. It’s how it looks on you. A good leather belt doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be full grained, and something that would age well with use. These days, we get belts that can be used from both sides. Pick those, as your belt should always match your socks.
