When it comes to putting an outfit together, the accessories can either make or break a look. Men tend to struggle a bit more with accessories as we don’t often associate them with having many. But this isn’t the case.
There are plenty of amazing accessory options for men to choose from that will help elevate their outfits. You can go as ostentatious as you like with it or keep it understated – it’s up to you.
This is the way you can take a simple outfit of jean shorts and a white tee and make it into something unique and personal to you. Let’s take a look through some accessory ideas and see what sparks your imagination.
Hats
This one might be obvious to some, but even if you’re not a hat person, why not give one a go? It can be a practical beanie to keep your head warm in the winter or a cap in the summer to keep the sun out of your eyes.
Or you can choose a more adventurous hat like a bucket hat, or Peaky Blinders inspired flat cap. Why not try out a new color to make yourself stand out from the crowd? Or keep it chilled in a neutral tone if the occasion calls for it.
Scarves
There’s nothing more practical than a scarf in the wintertime, but it can seriously help add some flavor to your outfit as well. You can try out a splash of color or a cool pattern to bring the whole outfit together. And you can stay nice and warm whilst you do so.
And scarves aren’t just for the winter. Why not add a lightweight scarf to your summer wardrobe to make it a bit more exciting?
Jewellery
Jewellery is a word that can invoke some nervousness in men, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s a great way to accentuate an outfit, and there are all kinds to choose from. A watch would even count as jewelry too, but we’ll get on to those.
If you’re trying to dip your toe in the jewelry pool, why not go for something simple and classic like a signet ring? These never go out of style and can be kept as a keepsake for generations to come.
A simple necklace can work wonders for an outfit. Make sure you get the metal right, though. If you favor wearing cool tones, silver will work best. However, if you’re into warmer colors, then gold is the best bet for you.
Watches
A nice watch can make or break an outfit – and the most important factor isn’t how much money you spend on it. Much like other jewelry, it’s the metal you choose that matters the most when picking the right watch.
This is an accessory that you’re typically going to wear every day, so taking note of what is in your wardrobe is vital. Make sure the metal you choose matches the tone of your wardrobe.
Another thing to note is what style would suit you best. If you’re going to be wearing it for work and you work in a professional environment, for example, you might want something a little less bulky and more understated.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a practical accessory, but they can completely change how your outfit fits together. You can set the tone of the outfit through the style of the frames, so make sure you’re going for something that works for you.
Another huge factor to consider is your face shape. Not every pair of sunglasses will fit every person, so making sure the sunglasses you choose suit your face is vital. It’s probably best to be trying them on in person rather than online.
Hopefully, you’re now a little less afraid of accessorizing and know what to be looking out for on your next shopping trip. Remember to take in all aspects of your wardrobe to make the best decision.
