The Essential Guide For Men Who Want To Accessorise

We hear so much about women’s accessories. Handbags, shoes, jewellery. The fairer sex certainly has a lot of choices when it comes to adding to their outfit!

But now even male fashionistas have something to be happy about – accessories for guys are now big news in the fashion world! As it’s still slightly murky territory, there are many pitfalls and ways your fashion additions could go wrong. To help save you from a call from the fashion police, I’ve put together this helpful guide on accessorising for men.

Hats

Men have been wearing hats for centuries. From the Top Hat to the Bowler, many periods in history have their signature hat. They never seem to go out of style. Current trends favour casual styles such as the Flat Cap and Beanie Hats. These types go with most everyday outfits. If you have a fancy event to attend, you can add some formality to your outfit by adding a classic Fedora or Porkpie Hat. As with most fashion items, the better quality you go for means you’ll be paying significantly more for your hat. Christys’ do an excellent selection of high-end hats – you can see their collection here.

Watches

Watches are to men what jewellery is to women. You can ramp up the chicness of a formal outfit by adding a shiny gold or silver wrist piece. For casual affairs, you can tone things down with a leather-strapped watch. There are lots of big names out there in the watch world. Think Rolex, Cartier and Rotary.

Scarves

Even if you’re not feeling the chill, you can still wrap up well with a scarf. During the winter months, a cotton one will keep you warm, and switch to a lighter silk number for summer. Warmer ones are ideal for wearing outside with thick winter coats, but you can keep a silk scarf on inside. The even look dapper when complimenting a tailored suit! If you find long scarfs get in the way, swap one for a colourful cravat, also known as an Ascot Tie.

Cufflinks

Just like watches, cufflinks can be as bling or as discreet as you like. They are worn in smart shirts and used to keep its cuff together. They make a fantastic alternative to everyday buttons. For a pair of really show-stopping cufflinks, opt for gold or ivory. You can also buy demure pairs in silver. As well as different materials, they come in a variety of styles. Chain link cufflinks fasten the suit’s cuff with an elegant chain, while studs are much like stud earrings, and are often more secure.

Now that you’re all clued up on the world of men’s accessories, you’ll be able to jazz up any of your favourite outfits! Adding accessories to your style is sure to get heads turning as soon as you walk into a room. Prepare to be noticed!
