ACCESSORIES FOR THE SUMMER SUIT – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
“The difference between a well-dressed man and an average man is in the details.” And needless to say, the devil is in the details. With this in mind, I will try to present the details (read as accessories) for a suit in this blog. Suit accessories, simply put, are all the items required to accessorize the suit. Functionally, these accessories, including tie, bow ties, pocket squares in addition to tie clips (or tie bars) and cufflinks, offer a complete look to the suit. I am ditching watches and bracelets without classifying them as suit accessories here.
Name the most commonly used accessory in men suits, and neckties easily make the cut. Ask yourself: what is a suit without a tie? The trick lies in playing with different colours, patterns and materials to make the outfit seemingly interesting. Bear in mind etiquettes and the event in mind when selecting the colour, material, and style of your tie. The milder the color, the more formal the look. There are a lot of online resources available that give you insights on how to choose the right tie for an event, and how to tie a necktie (keeping in mind the proper length for your tie and the choice for the occasion). Bow ties lend an excellent touch to any look offered by a blazer or suit jacket and dress shirt.
Pocket square:
Similarly, a pocket square can sync well with a blazer, a suit, a tuxedo, or a three-piece suit, but avoid wearing a pocket square in your shirt pocket. It is not mandatory that you should wear a matching tie and pocket square. I recommend wearing a matching tie and pocket square if they’re both solid color and equivalent material. Check for accessory sets including a matching tie and pocket square, in addition to a tie clip and a pair of cufflinks.
Tie clips:
Tie clips lend a modern and convenient look. Small they may be, but tie clips have the biggest impact in terms of look. They give a classy look and maintain the position of your tie. Men who wear a tie day in and out may be well aware of the difficulties wearing it on a chilly day.
Cufflinks:
Cufflinks are mainly applicable for keeping the dress shirt cuffs attached. They form an excellent alternative for the buttons keeping the cuffs of the shirt fastened.
