You’re about to spend over N50,000 after reading this peace. Why? Because, right here you’ll find 6 major essential style accessories you must own. Some will help you look better. Others are purely functional (and built to last). But they’re all essential, because they’ll not only make you a better man…but a perfect gentleman.
1. Briefcase That Doubles as an Overnight Bag
Have you ever thought of going for a business meeting at your boss’ house and the meeting took longer than expected? In this case, you have to sleep over. The best briefcases are sturdy, multi-functional, and made of fine leather. This one can be carried by the handles or slung over your shoulder for critical hands-free moments. It’s small enough for everyday office use, but roomy enough to fit a small change of clothes and a toothbrush for a quick overnight trip.

2. Reversible Belt
The only leather belt you need: A simple twist of the buckle switches it from brown to back. It can save you from outfit mismatch especially on Monday morning when you’re rushing out….and you can’t quickly find your favorite black belt.

3. White Handkerchief
One accessory, multiple uses: your sister is crying (tissue), you’re eating a burger (napkin), you’re called into a meeting (pocket square), you’ve inexplicably lost your baby’s blanket (blanket). Keep it tucked away in your back pocket at all times; it’s the perfect gentleman’s secret weapon.
4. Umbrella That Doesn’t Easily Fall Apart…
…or poke someone’s eye out. This one has safe, rounded corners and is water-repellent to ensure you’ll go through life with fewer umbrellas and (we hope) fewer injuries.
5. Business Card Case
You really need this not only for business cards but also for your debit cards. A simple leather case doesn’t take up space, protects your cards, and looks good each time you want to stylishly give your new business contact your card.
6. Shoe Shine
Okay, this isn’t so much an accessory as it is a service, but come on, you need it even though you ain’t a gentleman. You need to keep your shoes always shined on like the military or naval officers on duty.
