Friday finds: for the boys

Brothers, it is well worth taking the time to think about what you wear and finding your own style. Find some inspiration from the greats with Esquire magazine's list of the 75 Best Dressed Men of All Time or be a rebel and strike it out on your own with the hints below.

If you want to invest in one single item that will make your wardrobe, the only thing that will regret you forking out for a statement jacket is your bank balance. Jeans a little worn? Shoes not polished? With classy threads like these no one will notice.

Black onyx crystal / Stud earrings for men by Candy Foxx

Don't let the ladies be the only ones to wear bling. For pierced chaps, there are a range of online indie jewellery designers who make trendy pieces just for you. These black onyx earrings for men are handmade by Candy Foxx in Lithuania. Black onyx can be worn for protection and to ward against negativity by those who are spiritually inclined. Otherwise you can just wear it because it looks cool.

The only Cash I need is Johnny / Johnny Cash t-shirt from The Studio 315

Perfectly aged kicks / Vintage Doc's from Ramen Zombie

There's nothing wrong with walking a mile in someone else's shoes if you do it with vintage flair. A pair of worn in Doc's should last the distance. These vintage Doc Martens ankle boots (above) from Ramen Zombie are all about adding a touch of 1960's Chelsea style with their pointy toes and pull-on practicality.
