Fashionable Additions For Men’s Clothes
When investing in your summer wardrobe it’s important not to forget the finishing touches: accessories are a crucial addition to any outfit, so choose wisely and accessorise your choice of this season’s hottest styles with the very best finishing touches around.
From head to toe, adding that little extra will help establish your unique style, starting with some stylishly practical headwear. Everyday head warmers or bad hair day coverers are welcoming back the flat cap in denim from River Island, striped from Yohji Yamamoto and duck billed from French Connection; alongside the beanie, which is finding itself in a range of different styles with slouch from Soul Cal and All Saints or nautical themes with a Breton stripe from Scandanavian fashion house Norse Projects and the knitted Sailor Hat of Won Hundred. Whereas the baseball cap has shown its diversity as it nods at two season trends this summer in the vibrant realms of colour from the multi-colour designs of Ed Hardy and True Religion and colour-blocking of New Era or Franklin & Marshall, and also in military neutrals in the Hektor Nature Cap from Norse Projects in both Khaki and Navy. Festival favourites in men’s fashion come from the bucket hat, which manages to tap that nautical style too with Universal Works Walkers Hat and in the form of the trilby in different colours with energetic patterned bands from Paul Smith and the feather embellished Brixton Hats.
Retro rules the sunglass aisle with classic styles to look good and protect your eyes. Pay tribute to old favourites as the Wayfarer makes a comeback decked out in snazzy new patterns bringing the old and turning it new thanks to Jeepers Peepers, Polo by Ralph Lauren and Oakley. Round rims will cause a riot from Nonnative, Linda Farrow & Dries can Noten, the Chronicles of Never and Illesteva or salute Tom Cruise in the classic aviator sunglass with RayBan’s mirror lenses or 80s revival label Sunpocket with their high coloured, sport styles.
Men’s fashion neckwear sees scarves continue to add personality to your look with more inspired designs from Alexander McQueen’s MCQ Flag scarf, Junk de Luxe’s reversible stripe and polka dots from Universal Works. Ties whether workwear or livening up a casual outfit come in floral and stripe brights from Duchamp, loud check and paisley from Aquascutum and colourful camouflage from Mr Bathing Ape.
Timex and Casio will help you keep time in style while Swatch and Toy offer the choice of high colour hits and multi-toned colour blocking from their models the Mollotov Bullit and Kamrat Chrono. For jewellery, cuffs offer the perfect wrist accompaniment, in grounding blacks and browns, and add metallic detail from All Saints and Asos.
For belts there are an array of fabrics and styles including weave belts from Anderson and the bright coloured fastenings of Folk’s Young and Carhartt, Paul Smith opts for classic worked leather in the PS range, Bolongaro Trevor also uses leather, linked metal and safety pin designs for unique styles while Neil Barrett takes it up a notch with a corded waistline belt. Messenger satchels are making a comeback from sport labels Adidas, Puma Originals and Gola or go military with the backpacks marching forward from Sandqvist, Reclaimed Vintage and Pointer, or for a spruce of colour look to Penfield and Jansport.
For some playful fun add a pair of the aptly named Happy Socks for frivolous feet or tickle your toes with the vibrantly coloured socks from designers Falke, Jack & Jones and Polo by Ralph Lauren.
You can have both functionality and style with your accessories and team them with up and coming brands like Mark McNairy so that you can make fashionable additions to whatever designer menswear you pick from your wardrobe.
