Wearing well-fitting and stylish clothes is the first step to looking great. But if there's no personality to what you're wearing, even the most well-thought-out outfits can fall flat. As Carson Kressley of the hit series Queer Eye says, "Clothes may make the man, but accessories make the man fabulous." Here, the effusive fashion expert lists his six favorite accessories.
- Bag It
- Made for the Shade
- Buckle Up
- It's Hip to Have a Square
- Watch Out
- Cuff 'Em
The Man Bag
Anything too small to hold a laptop computer is going to look too feminine. And anything that looks like it was meant to carry a laptop is going to make you look like a math major. Invest in leather. A good litmus test for a bag is to ask yourself: If I saw this sitting unattended at an airport, would I call security, or want to steal it? If theft is the answer, that's your bag.
Sunglasses
Everyone should own at least one pair of killer shades. Ray-Ban Aviators look great on almost everybody. Steer clear of "sports" sunglasses that make you look like a fly. Avoid dark tints ‑- you'll wind up looking like Ronnie Milsap. Looking like a blind country singer from the early '80s is so rarely the answer.
