The Tee All tees, regardless of their style (crew, v-neck or muscle/wifebeater/guinea tee), should be at least one to two sizes smaller than you would normally wear. This is essential to show off your hard chest, large muscular arms and six-pack abs. Affliction, Ed Hardy and Armani Exchange are fav designers of Guidos.
 The Open Shirt A button down shirt, preferably with the sleeves cut off, left open to show your finely sculpted abs is perfect for when you want to "dress up."
 The Guido Tuxedo The Guido Tuxedo (a.k.a. a track or running suit) is another essential piece to your Guido wardrobe. The jacket, worn with or without a muscle tee (a.k.a. wifebeater or guinea tee) is never fully zipped. The Guido Tuxedo can be accessorized with The Cross or The Rosary Necklace.
 The NYC Baseball Cap No matter where you live, it's gotta be a NYC baseball cap that's tilted at least ten degrees. The perfect brim tilt is 23 degrees but you can try the 37-, 59-, or the 111-degree tilt if that works for you. But, anything less than a ten degree tilt won't show your Guido status.  The Fedora Show your honor to past Guidos with The Fedora. Push it back so it sits on the crown of your head so you can still smush with a Guidette or pull the brim low over your eyes if you forgot your shades. While the baseball cap tilt is to the left or right, the fedora tilt is up or down.
The Bandana Fold a biker scarf or a large handkerchief into a sweatband. Knot it tight around the back of your head just short of giving you a headache or leaving a red forehead welt that wouldn't look cool when it gets yanked off during a hook-up
.  The Sweatband A plain terrycloth headband/sweatband is always considered cool and comfortable. For added flare, experiment with other colors such as pink or purple.
The Cross
Gold, silver or filled with stones, it don't matter. As long as it's a cross and it's worn on a heavy chain around your neck, you're good to go.
The Rosary Necklace Hang a rosary necklace around your neck. But it can't be a cheapo, plastic thingy knotted on a string. It's gotta have large beads with metal links and a crucifix.
The Gold or The Silver Go for The Gold or The Silver! Necklaces, watches, pinkie rings, and bracelets – if it's big, clunky, and shiny, you're slammin' Guido style.
The Dog Tags
OK, so maybe you didn't serve yourself, but if your pop, grandpa or other relative did, wear his dog tags. It's like patriotic.
 The Tattoos The Tattoos (a.k.a. ink or tats) are another essential accessory for Guidos for showing off their finely juiced body. Tribal tattoos as ancient symbols are especially popular. Other admired designs include tats of wild animals, cars (especially the Cadillac) and naked women. And don't forget the ever-popular "Mom" because a Guido always puts his mom first. You got a problem with that?
 The Shades It ain't cool to squint, plus dark sunglasses make it easier for you to check out the Guidettes without them knowing you're eyeing them up, down and all around. But they gotta be the right kind. And if you can't afford Prada or Versace, head over to Chinatown for a pair of aviator or white frame look-alike shades. Maybe nobody will notice they're not the real thing. And if you don't need them dark, go with whatever shade of shades you like.
 The Studs No, not the Guidos themselves, but the earring studs they wear. Square cut is preferred and diamonds (or really cool-lookin' CZs) are a jewelry staple with Guidos. They just gotta be big and sparkle.
