Four Must-Have Accessories To Add To Your Outfit Today

When you think about accessorizing your outfits, many people don’t immediately associate this with men. In fact, many men neglect accessories as they simply don’t know how to wear them. Accessories, once worn correctly, can change the whole look of the outfit within seconds and can turn ordinary jeans and shirt into a semi-casual dinner look.

It’s all about balance and wearing an item that will match the rest of the outfit. Adding pieces to your costume can also give that bit of personality and charm to it. Fashion is centered around personalization and adding your unique touch to it, so make sure you choose the right items at the right time.

This isn’t as hard as you think, and once you have the basics down, you can start experimenting and finding your own style. We have some great ideas for you to start adding some spice to your outfit today.

Shoes

Choosing the right shoes for the outfit may seem daunting but there are several rules of thumb that you can follow. Here, we are not talking about your running shoes or hiking boots, we are delving into the shoes that round off the outfit on that night out, or in the office. 

Matching your shoes to the colour of your suit or blazer is imperative and there are a few basic rules that you need to follow. If you have one pair of each of the basic colors; black, brown or tan and oxblood, you can combine them with any color of the suit. Whether you are choosing navy, black, or grey, you need to know what goes with what. All three colours go well with navy for example, but grey can only be worn with black or oxblood shoes.

It is also a good idea to mix up your shoes. So, if you are having a more casual lunch, a pair of fine loafers or Moccasins will add that style to your outfit.

Watch

Choosing the right watch is the key to a good image. A luxury watch can turn even the plainest outfit into a masterpiece. It is imperative, however, to make sure that you find a watch that fits your wrist. It is all about balancing style and function.

Although luxury watches cost a lot, in a way it makes sense. Luxury watches are an investment into years and even decades of unmatched style and functioning compared to other watches. These watches are built to last and are so specifically manufactured that each and every single part of the watch has hours of craftsmanship going into it. Every part of the watch is made of top quality materials and by buying one, you are doing an investment that you will be able to pass down for generations.

As mentioned, luxury watches like Tag Heuer or Rolex come at a hefty price, but it is a subtle display of wealth that can last you decades. So, if you see a Rolex for sale, do some research, and choose which one you want to spot on your arm for the next few decades.

Belts

Belts, like shoes, need to be carefully paired with the outfit. There are several things to consider when choosing a belt:

• The size of the belt. A belt needs to fit perfectly without it being too short nor too long;
• The belt texture will add dimension to the outfit, make sure you pick the right one to fit the colour and look;
• Tan belts vs. black belts. Once again, picking the right colour will ensure that your outfit pops. If you are unsure, you can check a belt guide to combine the right colours.
• Statement belts. These are coloured belts or patterned belts that can add that personal touch to your outfit.

Tan or brown belts are a great and stylish addition that you can add to that pair of jeans and a shirt, or even a t-shirt. It will add a splash of style to a somewhat normal outfit. If it is an afternoon out, or a laid back lounge party, add a pair of oxblood or tan loafers to round off the casual, yet luxurious look.

Scarves

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” This famous quote by Miuccia Prada is the epitome of fashion in this day and age. And nothing screams style more than a beautiful scarf.

Don’t be concerned however, we are well aware that many men feel shy to wear a scarf as they simply do not know how to do it right. A scarf, when properly worn, not only serve a functional purpose for protecting your neck but add a strong element of style and daringness to an outfit.

You should choose the type of material to fit the season. A soft, yet thick material can ensure that your winters are warmed up, while a lighter material can add that splash of fun to your outdoor summer outfit.

Lastly, learn how to tie a scarf. There are several ways that you can pull off a scarf, depending on your outfit. Whether it is a once-around, a fake knot or even the French knot, go through a few tutorials and match it up with your outfit.

Wrapping Up

Men should never be scared to add some unique elements to their outfits. With a bit of research and know-how, you can make sure that each outfit has a special flair to it. A personal touch to highlight your taste and personality can be included with the addition of a simple splash of color or a luxury piece of jewelry. It is all about getting the basics right and then experimenting from there. Just make sure that every item fits well and is in good condition to ensure it completes your luxury look.
