5 Top Men’s Fashion Accessories to Finish Any Look
When fashion accessories are mentioned, the biggest shame is that most people think of women’s accessories. In reality, men can complement their style with accessories too. In fact, men can bring a particular look alive with the right hairstyle and accessories. With this, we’ve listed some of our favorites below!
Bracelets
For those who have avoided bracelets to this point, we have some news - they’re not going away any time soon. We aren’t saying you need to buy massive, chunky, cumbersome bracelets, but something subtle and appropriate will enhance any look. Even if you wear a watch, there’s no reason why you can’t add a beaded bracelet or even a leather one. One of our favorite designs is an anchor that hooks into a leather bracelet to secure itself.
If you plan on mixing bracelets, you can combine lots of thin designs, but don’t go for more than one great design on the wrist. Of course, don’t fill your forearm with bracelets to the point where you’re struggling to bend the elbow either. Also, try to leave one wrist free.
Suit Accessories
For those in a suit, you have lots of accessory options. At Frank’s Denver, we love pocket squares. Who doesn’t look dapper in a suit and pocket square? Elsewhere, you might think about a tie clip, lapel pin, bowtie, tie, or cufflinks. As we said with bracelets, it’s a fine balance between looking sleek and struggling to get through airport security for all the metal accessories.
For beginners in this area, it’s wise to stick with black to start. As you gain experience, you might want to bring some color to the look. If you need help finding a suit that works for you, check out our blog post titled Picking a Suit Style to Match your Haircut.
Rings
For many men, they believe that a wedding band is the only ring a man should ever wear. Often, it’s a confidence thing, and you might feel the same way. However, we should note that more men than ever seem to be donning rings as a fashion accessory. With this, it means that more fashion rings are entering the market. While some men go for a silver or gold ring, others choose a simple block-colored ring.
We think that simplicity is vital with men’s fashion rings, so don’t feel the need to buy large jewels (this could detract from your outfit!).
Scarves
With winter around the corner, you won’t believe the impact a scarf can make on a look. You could wear the same suit on consecutive days, but it would look utterly fresh on the second day with the right scarf. Depending on the occasion, you might choose between a plain scarf and a patterned one. Not only do scarves look great, but they also keep you warm when those harsh winds come around.
Watches
Finally, we mentioned them previously, but watches always deserve our full attention. Fashionable men have worn watches for decades, and this won’t change in our lifetime. If possible, match the watch strap to your belt, and this will keep the look in sync - even if people overlook the match consciously.
These days, we’re seeing the growth of sports watches and smartwatches. If you like to track your exercise in this way, we recommend having straps for all occasions. As well as the sporty rubber bands, choose a leather one ready for more formal occasions.
Summary
If you’re new to men’s fashion accessories, this is a great starting point. With a ring, watch, scarf, bracelet, and suit accessory, you will bring any look alive. With a fresh haircut, and a straight razor shave, you’ll turn heads, and men will follow your lead (and we can get more men improving their style with accessories!).
