Transcript

These are 10 out of 10 male purchases every guy should own in their thirties. First up is a good quality wallet. It's something you use better day, and it is an easy way to upgrade your personal style. I prefer the card holder for its slimmer profile, and I love this one from Cartier. Next is a good watch. It's one of the easiest ways to elevate any outfit, and you really don't need to spend a lot of money here to get something great. Hopefully, you'll be adding another one to the collection very soon. Number three, invest in a good fitting white tee. It's one of the most versatile things a a guy can own, and nothing really beats a clean white tee paired with denim. I've been loving the Field Spec tier from Buck Mason. Number four, find a signature fragrance, something versatile enough for almost any occasion. Smelling good is one of the easiest ways to make a great first impression. Lately, I've been loving this new fragrance from Aesop. Number five is a good coffee machine. If you're a coffee addict like me, investing in a good quality machine makes all the difference. I've been loving making drip coffee every morning with the Mokamaster. And a bonus item would be good quality luggage. It's worth spending a little extra on something that will last you for years. I recently picked up the Remova cabin, and I absolutely love it.
