STX001 Dress Watch of the 21st CenturyYou really won’t expect to be the center of attention once you get to wear the YB men’s ultimate dress watch. At first glance, it looks a little generic. It does not have any easily recognized difference from other men’s dress watches of the same caliber. But hey, the YB logo says it all. If it’s made by Youngblood, then it must be good. And that’s exactly what all those spectators are hankering about.

 

Still, what makes the dress watch and eye-candy to most is its stylish design. The red highlights side by side with black and white really demands the attention of the person next to you. Wear the watch with any plain looking silver cufflinks and you become the poster guy for corporate young professionals of the 21st century.

 

A closer look at the wrist watch will tell you not only the time, but also the intricate details that have made YB, one of the choices of dress watch in its price range. It features a huge, round dial in black sun-brushed finish. It is accented by numbers 3, 6, 9 and the Youngblood logo on the 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock and 12 o’clock spots all painted in huge, bright red Arabic numerals. The rest of the hours are marked by white quadrilaterals, also with bright red borders. The hands are also painted with red and black perfectly suiting the overall theme of the dress watch.

 

Another visible feature is the chronograph sub-dial at the lower middle part of the watch. The chronograph features a sports watch that utilizes the Japan OS20 movement, a technology that provides accurate time and stopwatch measurements.

 

It is surprising that a watch within this price range can become so functional and stylish at the same time. So go ahead and grab the YB men’s ultimate dress watch and you’ll easily become the subject of envy among your peers.

Sometimes the nature of neutrals can be elusive or confusing, so let’s clear some things up. Neutrals can be worn with each other and with anything else. Are you hearing me? Anything else. Neutral colors include khaki, denim, gray, black, brown, and navy. Have a reasonable amount of classic neutrals in your home, because they significantly increase the amount of outfits you can manage with a less amount of clothing in your wardrobe. If you have a full suit, a pair of jeans, a nice casual tee, and some pin-striped trousers and a sweater in neutrals, you can mix and match for at least sixteen variations just with those items. Add some flavor to the fairly bland neutrals with a patterned button-down shirt, tee, or sweater, and you will get an effortless outfit that makes you look classy and stylish and put-together. Neutrals are an essential in any wardrobe. And yes, you can wear black and blue or brown and blue together.

Many people are worried about money and have to manage their wardrobe on a tight budget, so the first impulse is to buy less expensive clothes in greater quantities. However, you can get more value for your dollar if you buy a few outfits, mixing neutrals with patterns that can be interchanged with each other, rather than buying lots of cheaper things. You will find that more expensive pieces are usually made better, with sturdiness in mind. Do not be swayed by designer names just because they are in fashion, but do not be dissuaded by higher prices if the clothing is well-made. If you stick to classic looks, they will even last through the myriad fashion trends. Quite against the usual intention of saving on expenses when buying cheaper clothes, you may spend more money over time. In addition, you will look cheaper and less concerned with how you present yourself.

Don’t be afraid of texture and prints. Any man with half a brain can put together a white button-down shirt and a trouser. It takes confidence to play with pattern and texture, but it does not have to be complicated. Take a plaid suit. No, a plaid suit does not make you look Scottish. An understated plaid can be subtle and stylish, just a touch of visual interest. With the recent popularity of Mad Men, the old look is coming back (hence why a classic look is always the best choice for anyone buying on tight budget). It is sexy corporate or sexy professor all over again, and it sets you apart from the men who are afraid to get away from solid neutrals. It is classic yet timely, so it will last you through your business years without effort and make you appear fashion-forward and nothing less than confident.

Renting a tuxedo is not being low-rent or cheap. You do not have to (or should not have to) pay hundreds to thousands of dollars on a suit you will only wear once or a few times a year. Instead, when you rent a tux, you pay both for being fashion forward and for the limited time that you wear the ensemble. It makes financial and sartorial sense. If you do not want to buy a tux for the few occasions you wear them, renting is much better than opting out. For an event that requires the classy, upscale elegance of a tux, you will only look under dressed, scruffy, or unappreciative if you pretend that the tuxedo is out as a formal style. When an invitation to a dinner or wedding says that a tuxedo is optional, take that as a demand to wear one. Do not be the lowest common denominator.

Leave the bling at home – no oversized necklaces, no big belt buckles, no fake or real diamonds on your watch or pendants. If you want to go the jewelry route without looking like you listen to too much rap music (and worse, that you believe everything they rap), here’s the tip: keep it simple. Elegance is never overstated, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be present. A wedding ring is fine, of course. Maybe another thick ring with a stone in it if you want, but do not wear too much on the hands. Focus your attention on your wrists. A new medium-sized watch with a modern leather or metal band is good for a peek of class. And the best way to have a flash of stylish and acceptable bling without looking cheap or trashy is to invest in several pairs of cuff links. They are the earring equivalent of glimmer just for men.
