Back to School for the Gentlemen

Summer’s almost over fellas, and it’s high time you started thinking about your September style so you don’t show up to the first day of school in a faded tee and boardshorts. We know you know the basics here, as you can never go wrong with a fresh tee, a plaid button-up and some skinny jeans, so today’s focus is on the little things. These accessories are sure to catch the attention of girls in the library and the jealousy of your boys on the morning bus ride. But first here’s a quick look at some new plaids and denim.

Avoid anything that department stores sell, RVCA Tonic is a solid bet

OK, now that we’re all on the same page here, lets get down to brass tacks. The upgrades, the options, the flair! Starting at the top, we’re going to let you in on a little secret. Nixon stepped up into the headphone game just a few seasons ago, and they did it right. The Nomadic is worth every single penny, the sound quality makes everything else sound like an AM radio while the memory foam ear padding keeps ’em comfortable for hours. And, the cloth-wrapped cord is detachable on both ends, keeping it tangle-free as you take over iPod control on road trips.

Now under those fresh cans goes the hat. The old-fashion baseball cap is a twofold necessity…It keeps the teacher’s eyes off of yours as you either rest up for a nighttime rail session or you steal answers on the next day’s pop quiz.

FlexFit's are for kids...step yo' game!

The final touch to your BTS accessory package is the timepiece. Overlooked by many, a good watch attracts all the right kinds of attention to your attention to detail. Don’t be one of those kids with some lame excuse like “uhhh….I have a cell phone I don’t need a watch.” Those kids are just missing the point all together. Go classy or quirky, but put somethin’ on that wrist.
