If clothes make the man, imagine what a few good accessories can do.
While the use of accessories has mostly been targeted for women’s fashion, there are a number of key pieces that should be in every man’s wardrobe, especially with the colder season ahead.
Living in Canada, it’s no secret that our winters typically drop below freezing. Dressing warm is a priority but so is dressing sartorially. While some may think that this is a limitation for style, I think otherwise.
This is the perfect time to utilize your accessories, whether it is a scarf, gloves, or a fancy watch. These are accessories that can be seen regardless if you are wearing a bulky winter coat or not.
When I stumbled upon this Fashionisto, I knew that not only was he dressed voguishly, but he also had a perfect balance of accessories that added to his overall look.
His entire all-black ensemble is from Zara, which includes the leather jacket, black ripped-at-the-knee jeans, a black pullover, and Chelsea ankle booties. His Danier fur infinity scarf, Michael Kors wristwatch, and a vintage black Coach bag pulled the look together. Without these key pieces, the all-black outfit would be too simple. As a finishing touch, he wore a pair of Ray-Ban inspired sunglasses from Zara.
What I love so much about this look is that he was not afraid to wear accessories. There seems to be this idea that accessories are exclusively for women and that if men wear them, it looks silly. That is completely false.
This look can easily be used for the colder months and then switched to the warmer seasons by switching out the scarf and leather jacket.
All of these accessories are visible, regardless of the choice of jacket. Accessories help an outfit go from drab to fab!
