Style Guide: Must-Have Accessories for Men

04/08/2015

These days, it’s not just women who are on top of their accessory game. Fashion conscious men around the world understand the importance of the finishing touch that the right accessories can bring. The challenge for men is finding a way to keep it understated whilst still flaunting their style. Below, we explore 5 of the must have accessories for men that will make you stand out from the crowd.

1. The Watch

A watch says a lot about a man. It’s one of the only hand accessories that most men feel comfortable wearing. Of course a lot of men are not opposed to bracelets and rings, but the watch is an accepted must-have in all areas of the fashion world. It’s worth investing in your watch – you can get some good deals on some big brand names out there, so make your choices wisely!

We are big believers in the monochrome watch. Black and white will never go out of fashion and it’s perfect to pair with any outfit. Check out some of our favourite below; in stock now!

2. The Shades

This is a must have in every man’s accessory wardrobe. A great pair of sunglasses makes a statement; it hints at the type of character you are and adds to that all important first impression. The great thing about sunglasses is that you are spoilt for choice; from aviators to wayfarers to clubmasters – there’s a style out there for everyone.

Also, don’t think that sunglasses are strictly for the summer any more. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not encouraging you to wear them inside – but you can definitely rock them all year round these days!

3. The Man Bag

The man bag is an accessory of some controversy. Many men point blank refuse to use them, but we think these fashion statements can be used by men of all ages and fashion styles. Of course, if you’re travelling it’s the perfect time to use a bag without raising eyebrows, but even on a day out this piece can be the perfect finishing touch to an outfit.

There are a range of man bags out there, not only satchels but backpacks and holdalls that will let you travel in style. Check out some of our available styles below.

4. The Wallet

The wallet is rarely acknowledged as a fashion accessory, but much like a watch it is a necessary item, so why not make it a style statement too? we think classic leather is the way to go, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. choose a quilted or embossed style always adds a little something extra to your look!

If you don’t fancy going for leather, why not try a fabric style? These offer a laidback look and are available in a variety of colours and patterns. Check out some of our favourite style below, from Fred Perry and Mi-Pac.

5. The Hat

The great thing about caps and hats is that there is one out there for every man. With so many different types to suit so many different styles, you’re bound to find one you love. From the fedora to the 5-panel, there’s plenty to choose from. In the summer months of course a cap or snapback are great options, but as it turns colder beanies and woollen hats come into play.

We show you some of our favourite styles below. The snapbacks will bring a much needed pop of colour to your summer outfit, while the trilby is great for adding a touch of class.

There’s a place for accessories in any man’s wardrobe – whatever your style, whatever your budget. get in touch, let us know how you accessorise!
