You’re a stylish man who cares about his appearance and you want to ensure that every outfit you wear makes as much impact as possible. This is true whether you’re heading to an important meeting or are meeting the lads for lunch, and it’s a goal that will be easier than ever to achieve if you simply make room for accessories in your wardrobe.
While many of us have long associated accessories with female styling, men are increasingly realizing the power of small additions for elevating their outfits. Adding well-chosen accessories ensures layered luxurious looks that you’ve clearly thought about.
The question is, how do you ensure that accessories truly elevate your styling? Keep on reading to find out.
Choose Your Accessories Carefully
If you want to achieve a luxury finish with the accessories you’re wearing, then you should choose these additions carefully. Don’t just buy jewelry because you assume it’s going to look great. Think carefully about the pieces you need (e.g. cufflinks and watches if you regularly wear shirts, or chains and bracelets if you prefer a casual look). Think, too, about the quality of these pieces. Your outfits don’t necessarily need to be by luxury designers if you choose luxury accessories that can easily add the desired sleek and high-end finish for you.
Combine Different Elements
For accessories to have a true impact, you need to utilize all of your options. You certainly shouldn’t chuck on a bag and assume your outfit’s ready to go. In truth, the best accessories will work across every element of your outfits to ensure cohesive, layered luxury looks. Let’s say you’re wearing a suit and trouser combo for a smart/casual dinner. Make it better with a tan belt, a sleek watch, your selection of men’s silver rings, and a well-paired bag. Matching the colors and materials used throughout these accessories is guaranteed to help you look put together, considered, and ultimately stylish.
Choose Pieces With Multi-Outfit Potential
To be truly useful additions to your wardrobe, accessories should ideally have multi-outfit potential. These aren’t outfits in themselves, remember, and you don’t need to change them every day. Regularly wearing a watch or ring that pairs well with all of your looks, no matter the occasion, can be a great way to establish your trademark look. This is sure to set you apart as a style contender, and will also make it easier for you to perfect each day’s outfit using accessories that, by this point, will feel like second nature.
Conclusion
There’s an unfortunate lack of information out there about the best accessories for men, but make no mistake that a strong wardrobe of staple accessories will help you look your best at all times. Simply think about the accessories you’d wear the most, the outfits you could pair them with, and the best way to use those additions to elevate all of your outfits to a luxury level. Then, the fashion world will quickly become your oyster.
