MORE TO CARRY THESE DAYS?

You probably have seen them everywhere, but they can blend into a wardrobe so well when worn with the right panache. Tucked beneath the arms of businessmen and clutched casually in the hands of big spenders. It's bigger than a wallet and sometimes smaller than a brief case... yes, it's the man bag.

By contrast, men prefer, on the whole, to travel light: keys, wallet, phone and that's it, unless there is a specific task involved. However, man bags have become quite practical, smart and a cool trend to look out for this spring/summer.

Traditional cross-body satchels are more common on the scene, but man bags are more versatile than ever. Distressed neutral canvas carryalls reign supreme for casual looks, while totes fit for the gym or beach have decorative stitching and leather trim.

Along with the everyday basic satchels, there are many man bags available in new shapes. From soft creased leather, smooth polished structured bags, and stiff oversized canvas bags, everyone can find one to match their lifestyle and wardrobe.

To stay on top of the trend, get a more casual man bag to blend with your separates and get one for work.

A man bag won't strip away an ounce of your masculinity...just give you more room to carry it!

FIVE WATCH TERMS THAT WILL MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE AN INDUSTRY PRO

Growing up I was never a fan of watches but, as I've gotten older I've become very fond of them. Its actually the only accessory I presently wear and when I'm without it, I feel naked. So, if you're in the market for a new timepiece and want to sound like you know what you're talking about, here are some terms to impress the sales help and anyone else in earshot.

1. Complication
Any function of a watch that goes beyond simple timekeeping. Could be an annual or lunar calendar, could be something as basic as a stopwatch.

2. Movement
All those bits and pieces inside that run the thing.

3. Quartz
A movement powered by a battery and regulated by the oscillations of a quartz crystal. It’s way more accurate than other watch types—which isn’t to say we necessarily recommend you buy one.

4. Self-winding
A type of mechanical watch, containing a rotor on a pivot, that’s wound by the day-to-day movements of the wearer’s wrist. It’s also referred to as automatic.

5. Water-resistant
Just because a watch says it’s water-resistant doesn’t mean you should swim or shower with it on. To be safe, only do so if it’s water-resistant up to one hundred meters.
