SPLURGE -King Baby Bracelet - $170

Man jewelry. To wear or not to wear? My personal stance: Acceptable in small doses for bracelets and on a strict case by case basis for necklaces. What I find with most of my guy friends (and myself to some extent, though I've never worn a man-necklace) is that they find a super cool bracelet or necklace, generally with some sort of bone or skull on it, wear it for a week, and eventually abandon it because it's too much.

I prefer a simple beaded or woven bracelet in a brown or black to add a little texture to an outfit. For example, this King Baby Bracelet. The black beads are masculine, and the sterling silver skull charm is perfectly sized and perfectly badass. Worn on the same wrist as a sharp black watch (casual or dressy), this accessory should perfectly complement anything and everything in your closet. Splurge.

[See my friend Jay Jay's gaggle of beaded bracelets below, all of which look amazing on him (though I don't think I could pull that many off), for reference]

SAVE - Kai Aakmann Nylon Jacket - $156

So you can't fork over $1,400 for a sick leather jacket. I totally understand. So that's why I scoured the web and found the next best thing at less than 1/8 of the price! Enter the Kai Aakmann Nylon Jacket, available at Revolve Clothing. Kai Aakmann is a cool, urban brand that specializes in androgynous clothing with an eye towards the classics, but with a distinctively modern edge. Last fall, when I was still in the unsure stages of my leather jacket quest, I purchased a Kai Aakmann nylon jacket at Oak for around the same price.

This fall, their nylon jacket is a bit more fashion forward with a fold over collar. The banded cuffs are perfect for rolling up the sleeves and I assure you the fir will be slim and complementing. But hey, if you don't believe me, order one for yourself and see. At $156, you really can't go wrong. Consider if your guiltless, standout purchase for the season. Save.
