Bad At Flirting? Let Your Wardrobe Do It For You
Attracting the female gaze is rarely about being the loudest in the room. Women have an eye for detail, and chances are, she looked at you long before you noticed her. Your wardrobe can speak volumes, so make sure it's saying the right things. The right accessories can quietly amplify your style, show off your personality, and turn casual glances into second looks. Here are 10 men's accessories that women love.
1. A Classic Watch
A good, classic timepiece is eye-catching, whether it cost you $50 or $5,000. A simple, old-fashioned watch makes you look stylish, put-together, and helps you stand out in a sea of men wearing Apple watches.
2. A Well-Chosen Fragrance
Appeal to more than just one sense by wearing a tasteful and well-chosen cologne. Women have a better sense of smell than men, and the right scent adds to your personal brand and makes you memorable.
3. A Pocket Square
A pocket square is a subtle accessory that many men overlook, but women notice. What's more, it draws the eye to your manly pecs. Match it not with the primary color of your suit but the second or third to really make it pop.
4. The Right Hat
Most men don't wear hats anymore, and when they do, it's a haphazardly-chosen baseball cap. However, the right hat, whether a Panama hat, fedora, or quality beanie, can make you stand out.
5. A Minimal Wallet
Don't be one of those guys with a ratty, old, overstuffed wallet, bursting with old receipts. A minimal, sleek, and well-organized wallet shows that you are put-together.
6. Classic Sunglasses
Avoid wearing cycling shades or overly-mirrored sunglasses. Go for some classic aviators or Wayfarers that fit your face well to give the illusion of symmetry and showcase your style.
7. A Subtle Necklace
A necklace can do a lot to elevate your whole look, but the key word here is subtle, as women notice small details. Anything overly flashy will make you look trashy.
8. A Quality Scarf
In the cooler months, a nice scarf, whether a heavy knit or light cotton one, can truly class up your look. They can be styled in a myriad of different ways, depending on personal preference, and can add a layer of sophistication as well as insulation.
9. A Weekender Bag
Most men would just stick their items into a backpack or ratty duffle bag; that's why investing in a high-quality weekender bag sets you apart. It's a stylish and practical way to carry your two to three-day essentials.
10. A Tasteful Ring
A tasteful statement ring or an assortment of simple ones is a great way to show your personal style through accessories. What's more, it draws her eyes to your masculine and strong hands.
11. A Classic Necktie
Next time you need to dress up for an important meeting or a special event, don't overlook the necktie. A well-chosen, classic necktie is an eye-catching splash of color that makes you look put-together and thoughtful.

12. A Leather Belt
A bad belt can bring your whole outfit down, so make sure to invest in a good quality leather one. Belts add a touch of sophistication and stop you from having to adjust your waistband all the time, which is not a good look.
13. A Braided Or Beaded Bracelet
A simple braided or beaded bracelet adds just the right amount of boho charm and character to your outfit, so you don't look purely business. Bonus points if the bracelet has a story or personal meaning attached to it, so that if she asks, you have something interesting to say.
14. Stylish Shoes
Unless you want to exude "stuck in high school," don't wear your ratty old Converse or skate shoes. Sport some sophisticated, clean leather shoes or boots that say, "I'm a grown man."
15. Messenger Bag
Instead of a clunky backpack, invest in a stylish messenger bag for everyday use. It says that you know how to accessorize and appreciate quality.
16. Cufflinks
If you think cufflinks are a silly detail women won't notice, you'd be wrong. A pair of simple but high-quality cufflinks can speak volumes, adding elegance and demonstrating your attention to detail.
17. Stylish Socks
Yes, they're just socks, but opting for some cool, stylish ones is just another way to set yourself apart. It's a fun, subtle way to make a statement and possibly spark a conversation.
18. A Tie Clip
Tie clips are another subtle detail that can make a big impact. They're decorative as well as practical, classic, and even a bit old-fashioned, which women love. They also demonstrate that you value cleanliness.
19. Tech Accessories
You might not think of them as fashion accessories in the classic sense, but tech accessories like laptop sleeves, smart watch bands, and AirPod cases shouldn't be overlooked. They offer additional ways to express yourself and add to your personal brand.
20. A Nice Jacket
Whether you're a leather jacket guy or more of a peacoat man, choosing a nice, classy jacket will help you stand out from the slew of gorpcore men wearing windbreakers. It's easy to forget about the impact outerwear has on your outfit, but it significantly affects your overall appearance.
