Male Fashion Accessories add a Spark to the Clothes

Fashionable men around the world make sure that they look dapper at all costs, every time they step out of the house. Now, wearing good, smart clothes is not the only way they can enhance their look. Fashion conscious men also pair smart accessories with their clothes to make their attire look fabulous. Here are a few male fashion accessories that can really make a difference to your look.

Socks

A classic black suit with classic black lace-ups with a pair of scarlet socks, the look is totally unconventional and also might appear as jarring to a few, but coloured ankle length socks can really make heads turn while adding a spark to your look. Coloured socks can even spice up a pair of classic blue denims with a white t-shirt or shirt.

Quirky Cufflinks

Tired of the plain old corporate look? Want to jazz up your office wear with something subtle yet different? How about trying out a few quirky cufflinks? Discard the typical ones for something unusual like skull shaped cufflinks or cufflinks with cartoons scribbled on them. They will definitely freshen up your look.

Add a dash of Colour with Pocket Squares

Want to jazz up your boring suit? Or do you want to break the monotony of a one-coloured jacket? In both cases, a pocket square is all you need. Fold it up and tuck it into your breast pocket and you’re good to go. With the hint of colour peeking out of your pocket, your boring jacket will look subtly colourful.

Donning a Hat 

Be it a fedora, trilby, pork pie or bowler, a hat always adds a certain charm to your look. Whether you’re wearing formals or casuals, a hat or even a flat cap, if paired rightly with your ensemble, will make you look outstanding.

‘Belt’ out some Attitude

Tired of wearing a classic black or brown leather belt with your casual summer pants? Then, try something a little more colourful and like a belt that is a made of woven fabric and leather combined together. You’ll have your hold and others can take a look at how beautifully the belt works with the rest of your clothes.

These are just a few accessories that can add a touch of difference to men’s wear. Men’s clothing is not necessarily dull or boring; it can be made extremely peppy and stylish if things are paired well.

Style Icon: A Lesser used Word in Men’s Fashion

Fashion for women has a different definition than fashion for men. This does not mean that one understands fashion lesser than the other but it’s just that men’s fashion is, in a way, different from the world of women’s fashion. There are obvious similarities like changing trends and introduction of new colours and different hairstyles that constantly change but since men’s fashion is ‘limited’ in a way, men don’t get to change their trends as drastically as women do.

However, cuts, fabrics, textures, patterns and colours constantly keep changing in men’s fashion. When it comes to worshipping a style icon, it is true that many fashion conscious men don’t have one. But first we need to define a style icon. The term has become overrated because there honestly can be only one icon who is a trendsetter for everyone but these days, everyone who dresses well is being termed a style icon.

Of course, one can have personal favourites. People whose style they like to emulate every time they get dressed. Women have plenty of fashionistas whose style they like to emulate and therefore, the term is more relevant to them. Some like to go over the top (OTT), some like to emulate important figures who believe in the ‘less is more’ trend of fashion and the list can go on. But for men, it’s slightly different.

First of all, very few men actually look up to men of importance and emulate their way of dressing. Therefore, they hardly believe in calling someone a style icon the way women do. Some men say that they like the way George Clooney or Ryan Gosling dress because they always look good in the suits they wear. Basically, men like to emulate icons of the yesteryears or people who are no longer with us. They very often refer to a Paul Newman or a James Dean who they consider to be iconic in the world of style. So, you will seldom find a man saying, “Oh my god! That look is so James Dean!” They will simply sport the look if they think it looks good on them.

So, men do not exactly worship ‘style icons’ or ‘iconic figures in the world of fashion’ like women do. However, this does not mean that there aren’t any trendsetters in the world of men’s fashion but we must also remember that trend setters and style icons are different.
