Suits are great for making you look presentable and fashionable, especially for special events. How you wear your suit says a lot about you. Creating an attractive formal outfit requires more than just wearing the suit. Without accessories, your suit can look incredibly boring and unoriginal. Unfortunately, many men miss this step when getting ready for an occasion or event. As much as choosing the right suit is important, choosing the right accessories is just as much so. It adds the extra spice that your otherwise dull suit needs. In this guide, you can see what accessories to add to your suit, and how to wear them.
Necktie
Few fashion accessories can enhance an outfit like a necktie. It’s important that every man has a varied collection of ties that can go with their many suits for different types of events. When choosing your tie, it’s not as easy as you might think, you have to think of the colour, length, width, possible patterns etc. A solid tie is the most versatile of all neckties because it is appropriate with everything, however, wanting to go out of your comfort zone and try different patterns is a great way to experiment with your style. Having the same boring, solid colours can get extremely repetitive and make you look dull.
Tie Bar
Alongside your tie, its important you include a tie bar, or tie clip. A tie bar is a small but essential part of your outfit. It’s a metallic clip that’s used to secure your tie to the underlying dress shirt. Now, you might be wondering why one would need to secure it and what this small accessory has a use for. Well, they’re actually a really important accessory for men as it stops your tie from flapping around. Without your tie bar, your tie will flap around when you bend over which is extremely unattractive and can block your vision.
Cufflink
Small details really do make a BIG difference. Cufflinks have more power than you think. They hold the cuffs together on your shirt, but other than that, there are all different types of luxury cufflinks that simply bring elegance and a gentlemanly vibe to your suit. Cufflinks are an essential and valuable styling opportunity that can add so much to your suit despite its size! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different types of cufflinks available. Some materials include glass, leather, steel, copper, silver, aluminium, and pearl. As well as materials, there are all different patterns and designs included.
Sunglasses
As well as protecting your eyes from the sun, sunglasses can be a lovely accessory for your suit. Adding that touch you didn’t think you’d need. A stylish pair of sunglasses can really transform your suit. Obviously, this accessory doesn’t include if you’re staying indoors, say for work. However, if you’re planning on staying outdoors for multiple consecutive hours, consider accessorizing your suit with a pair of high quality designer sunglasses to give your eye a bit of shade and protection, whilst making you look extra fashionable. Sunglasses are particularly perfect for summer weddings, being outside in the sun all day and everyone wearing bright colours in happy moods, sunglasses just add to that summer vibe.
Belt
Finally, an important part of your look is your belt. Whilst most accessories add colour to your outfit, a belt adds utility as well. It secures your trousers to your suit so that they don’t fall down (that is, of course, if your trousers don’t fit right). Choosing the right belt can add so much more to your outfit. It is definitely one of the most important accessories to a suit.
