ACCESSORIZING YOUR LOOK BEYOND JUST A WATCH

When it comes to men’s accessories, when you’re not attending a wedding, it might feel like your options are a little limited. There’s nothing with accentuating your look with a great watch, but what else can you do to offer yourself a little more in the way of personal style? Here are some of the other accessories that can push your look a little more out there.

 

Put a ring on this

One of the most popular pieces of jewelry for men, a simple ring often goes underutilized in men’s fashion. For men, the most common styles for rings tend to be on the more understated side, using smaller jewels or none to avoid looking overly showy. Rings go well beyond wearing just wedding rings, with options like signet and sovereign rings being amongst the most traditional styles commonly worn by men. A little glitz can help class up your look without being too distracting.

 

Elevate it with a hat

If you’re looking for accessories to go a little better with formal wear, or if you want to elevate a suit, then there’s an option that might seem a little old-fashioned but has become more trendy as of late. We’re talking about a good hat, of course. Nowadays, the fedora might have become a little cliche to wear on a regular basis, but other styles like a trilby still got plenty of old-school cool going for them. It can be just the thing to add a little extra personality to any outfit that’s smart casual or higher on the formality tiers.

 

Get modding

Your look isn’t just determined by what you wear, but by your body as well. As such, if you’re open to going a little further in accessorizing your look, how about looking into body modification options, like earplugs and hoops? There are even options for those who don’t want to wear too much in the way of glitzy jewelry, and you can check out these wood plugs for an example of that. Alternative jewelry is getting a little more commonly accepted these days, especially in urban scenes, and they can really help you add a sense of personal style to your look.

 

Bag it up

Modern men are starting to wear bags a lot more often and, as such, as getting bags designed more specifically for them. Of course, one of the big advantages of bags is that they also have a practical purpose and, as such, also make you look like a more practical, pragmatic, and competent person. They also look a little more natural than jewelry. A good messenger bag is a really good accessory for those who are trying to add something of the professional edge to their outfit, for instance.

 

Men’s accessories aren’t as common as women’s. As such, you need to be bold and believe in your personal sense of style. However, if you can’t do that, then there is much hope of you making your look stand out in the first place.
