Belt - to complete the look, we need to put on the belt. When buying belts, remember to choose a belt that is big enough to fill the loops of the pants but not overfilling them. The belt's metal buckle must match the buckle of your watch, also the belt's leather must match the leather of your shoes.
Shades - be hot while being cool with shades. Invest in a good pair, and take a good care of 'em. Just remember to not wear them at night, and never put them on your back pockets! Goodness!
Cap - you can ditch the umbrella (some says it's not manly, pfff) when it's sunny outside if you have a cap on. You can also use this on days when you feel cold outside at night or when it's drizzling. Okay I take it back, bring an umbrella, never leave without one! For a boy next door look, try the baseball cup or a beanie.
