The line between just looking good and being truly stylish is a fine one. Among the elements that makes all the difference are the accessories you use to complement your outfit.

High-end Watch

Though most people do own a watch of some kind, not all watches are the same. If you want your watch to be both a fashion accessory and a functional timepiece, you should select one from a higher-end manufacturer. The type of watch you prefer will, of course, vary quite a lot with your own tastes, so be sure to consider both what is considered fashionable at the moment and what you'll actually enjoy having on your wrist every day. For example, the trend in men's watches at the moment inclines toward large, bulky watches. Some men, however, still prefer something smaller. Make sure that whatever you get satisfies your tastes first. 

Leather Phone Case

Though some accessories are timeless, others are still emerging. The phone case is a recent but important addition to the plethora of accessories that a fashion-minded person now has to think about. For true class, nothing beats a fashionable leather phone case, a classic twist on a very new class of accessory. 

Pipe

If you look at old photographs, movies and even portraits, you'll find one item is almost universal among the most fashionable men of earlier times: a pipe. Pipe smoking is not as common as it once was, but it has made a considerable comeback in recent years. For maximum aesthetic impact, be sure to smoke a real briar pipe, rather than one made from corncob. You can find cool smoking accessories like this at shops like Mile High Pipe & Tobacco and similar institutions.

Wallet or Handbag

Even though you may not use cash very often, wallets for men and handbags for women are still important fashion accessories. When picking one out, try to stick to something classic and timeless, rather than trying to catch any supposed trends of the moment. While some accessories really do go through fashion cycles, wallets and handbags remain more consistent. A dark leather wallet or a diamond-quilted handbag will almost always remain in style. 

If you're a younger person trying to present yourself with more class and sophistication, getting these accessories right can make all the difference. Always be sure to coordinate your accessories with your clothes, as it can be very obvious when the two don't match well.
