Most men’s accessories aren’t that extravagant. You’ve got your ties, your belts, your scarves and so on – and the only ways you can variate is through color and pattern. Yet there is one accessory that allows you to go wild: cufflinks.

Just What Are Cufflinks?

Cufflinks are two pieces of (usually) metal that are used to fasten the two sides of a shirt’s cuff. They can only be worn with french cuff shirts but they look damn hot.

A Little Bit of History

We’ve discussed a lot about accessories and how they can amplify attraction. It’s time to put the spotlight on one of the best men’s accessories: hats.

Saying you don’t look good in a hat is like saying you don’t look good in shoes!

Before you say to yourself Nah, I’m not wearing one of those, let me give you some benefits of wearing hats. I’d say this timeless accessory has the largest number of advantages.

Did you know that hats…

• can make you look taller?

There are a TON of things to try to upgrade your style – we spoke a lot about them. But there are a few “unconventional” ways to stand out that are actually… kind of fun.

One of those secrets is to wear colored socks. Hold on there! If you’ve just raised your eyebrow, I saw that!

Give me a few minutes of your time to read this article and you’ll almost surely change your mind.

There has been a lot of talk these days about men’s bags and whether they should be a part of a man’s arsenal of accessories. So much so that I had more than a few readers ask me to write an article about it. No doubt that everyone wants to know if they should get one or not.

So here’s the big question. The elephant in the room that no one talks about.

Can Men Wear Bags?

Yes, they can. I recommend them. The time when men’s accessories were limited to ties are looong gone. Nowadays we have lots of choices when it comes to accessories (just look at Johnny Depp) – and bags are one of them.

OK, so you’ve got it all down: the perfect fitting clothes, the right color combinations and a great pair of shoes. You’re going out and you want to look your best. While there are at least a dozen accessories you could wear (all of which are being covered in my book), there is one in particular which will give you that slick, manly look> the belt.

While there are several types of belt fabrics, I want to focus today on the highest quality one: leather.

One of the never ending quests here at Be Stylish is finding that little style item that makes all the difference. Most of the times, that item is a small accessory that brings a drop of color in an otherwise dull outfit. But what kind of accessory can make us men stand out in a subtle way?

You can try a scarf, you can try a pendant or a leather bracelet. But the manliest men’s accessory of all that I recommend you try is, of course, the watch.

Clothing is an industry. There are literally thousands of clothing and accessories stores that are competing for our attention. Some of them are expensive and some of them are not (I discussed 10 great brands here so I won’t cover it here again) but there are others who aren’t so.. reputable.

Counterfeit clothes and accessories look just like the originals at an unbeatable price. Some of them are so good that even an expert can’t tell the difference between an original and a fake watch.

Some manufacturers got as far as using the exact same materials that the original brands are made of. Amazing, right?

Ties are a great way to stand out, whether in casual or formal situations. They’re probably the most well known accessory for men.

Confession: the simple fact of wearing a tie horrified me. I wanted nowhere near them. I didn’t see the point of wearing them and the simple fact that I had to tie them and untie them made me sleepy. Plus, I had no idea you could wear them with jeans.

But that was before I was hooked on men’s style. The time I bought my first slim tie was like a revelation. I did a quick Half-Windsor knot and boom.. I was out to the clubs.

Scarves are one of those things that can turn an ordinary outfit into a really cool one.

It’s worth pointing out that, if you pick your scarf right, you can wear it with both suits and casual outfits. This is great because a flexible item of clothing can be worn with multiple outfits, to create the illusion you have a large wardrobe.

Best of all, a scarf is not one of those accessories that will make you look like a rebel. It’s suitable for men of all ages to bring out their stylish side.

British people are known for cricket, tea and HM The Queen. But in this article we will discuss another thing that they should be better known for: fashion. It’s about the pork pie hat, a statement of bon vivant in the British Victorian society.

The somewhat funny name comes from the resemblance with a pork pie, a traditional British pie.
