17 Things Every Man Must Have to Win in Life (Part 2)

White Minimalist Dress Sneakers

Are you going to be running errands in the city? White dress sneakers.

Have an afternoon coffee date? White dress sneakers

Are you ready to become the first man on Mars Whi…OK, too far.

In recent years, white minimalist dress sneakers have been a huge hit and I understand why. These sneakers are versatile and can be worn with either cuffed jeans or chinos.

To men who are looking for their first pair of shoes, I recommend the Oliver Cabell Low 1s. They are made from full grain Italian calfskin leather. This means that they will last for a long time. I keep mine in my sneakers and clean them after each wear.

A leather belt made from age-worthy leather

When it comes to belts, there are two golden rules.

Make sure to match your belt color with your shoes. Also, don’t compromise on quality. Trust me, this advice is just as useful as your Dad’s “birds and bees” talk. This means that you should have at minimum a brown and black belt, or one reversible.

For guys looking for a quality belt, I recommend Luca Faloni. Although they are simple, the leather is durable and will develop a beautiful patina over time. A reversible brown and black calf leather belt is the best! It’s made in Italy using the best calf leather. It is made in Italy and is built to last. This is ideal because it is the buckle that most often falls apart first. Although it is expensive, your belt can tie your entire outfit together.

Go-to recipe

You don’t have to be a chef. However, every man should have a favorite recipe that he is absolutely proficient at.

Why?

You can have a date night, a poker night or simply a great dinner for your busy workweek. There are many reasons to always have a high-quality meal on hand.

Slow-cooker tacos are my favorite. I take a pork shoulder and toss it in the crock pot with some seasonings and salt. It can go on for 6-12 hours depending on how convenient it is for me. You’re done!

Your good taste and refined cooking skills will impress your wife. You can even impress her with the addition of your own herbs to enhance the dish.

Sunglasses

You can protect your eyes from the star of our dreams while still looking professional. Do you need more?

The aviator style is my favorite because it can be worn as a suit-up or down. My favorite pair of aviators is the Roderer Edgar, which I love for its classic shape and quality build. Roderer’s handcrafted interpretation of the classic aviator style has impressed me. They come in four colors, including a gunmetal/black colorway that I love. For optimal comfort and fit, each model has spring hinges and adjustable silicone nostrilpads.

Boots of high quality

Boots are a way to distinguish between the men and the boys. You’ve probably heard that shoes are the first thing a woman sees about a man’s appearance. While sneakers are great, a good pair of boots can make a casual outfit look more sophisticated and elegant.

The Chelsea boot is my favorite type of boot. These boots are versatile and can be paired with any suit if you choose a more formal option. William is wearing one of our favourite dress Chelsea boots, the Troy from Ace Marks.

Suede Chelseas are a TAM favourite due to their unique suede texture. The blake stitched Velascas offer a lot for your buck. Blake is a slim profile stitched Chelsea suede Chelseas. The tobacco color pairs well with denim and adds texture. The best thing? You can choose from a leather sole (more formal) or a dockers rubber sole (more versatile).

A Manscaping Kit

Try to imagine yourself as a woman. You have the option to take the well-maintained path. Would you really like to plunge headfirst into the forest?

Meridian has a great range of products that I love for grooming and landscaping. Their Complete Package, which includes both a trimmer as well as a spray, is a great value. To prevent razor-bumps, trim those acorns. Your balls deserve a day of spa treatment, bro.

It’s time for gentlemen to eliminate all the guesswork involved in manscaping. You can learn everything you need to know about safe grooming of your entire body.

Good Quality Watch

Watches are not only for subtly hinting at your end of forced coffee.

A watch for guys is the perfect complement to any outfit. Your watch band should match your belt and shoes. If you like the field watch look, the Vaer C5 is one of my top picks for 2022. This Vaer military-inspired field watch features a Swiss Ronda motor, domed sapphire cristal, and two straps. It is one of our favourite affordable timepieces.

The Seiko SKX007K2 is a great entry point for divers if you love diving watches. The Seiko SKX007K2 dive watch is rugged and classic. This is a great dive watch for anyone who doesn’t care about a sapphire glass.

Dress Shirts

Do you want to know a secret? You aren’t telling the world that you wear a faded “Mr Men” t-shirt when you go out in public.

You’re telling the world that “My mom made me breakfast this morning”.

Dress like an adult by adding more dress shirts to your wardrobe. This may seem obvious but it is important to choose shirts that match your chinos or jeans when selecting colors.

State & Liberty is my favorite brand for dress shirts right now. These are premium (and they do have a premium price), but they are easily the most comfortable dress shirts I have ever worn. Even for men who aren’t jacked, Liberty’s dress shirt fits perfectly. Two darts in the back taper the waist and create a flattering silhouette. Your shoulders will be highlighted by the cut of the sleeves. You’re definitely looking great.
