Combining your accessories with style

ONE of the headaches a man faces when dressing deals with how to combine his accessories. It might seem moot since the male accessory is not as elaborate as the female folk. How do you combine your accessories right without committing a faux pas?  A little insight might be of help:

Belt

Your belt is an integral part of your clothing accessory and you should always wear one, except you are wearing suspenders. There are not so many rules that surround wearing belt. You just have to ensure that you are wearing a belt with the same colour as your shoe. You should also endeavour to match your belt metal; the belt head and holes (if any) to the general metallic outlook of your clothes. If your belt head is golden, it would be wrong to wear a dress shoe with a silver metal. Your belt head and holes metal should also balance with your cufflinks metals and colours too.

Wristwatches

Nowadays, everyone feels that they can check the time off their smartphones, that does not mean the watch is going into extinction. A good time piece is your best friend, not only does it complete your outfit. It also allows you to show to the world that you value time. You should strive to match your wrist watch leather strap to your belt colour. If it’s a metal strap, it should fall in line with your belt head colour.

Cufflinks

Cufflinks should be in contrast with the shirt they are worn with but should maintain a harmony with the overall dressing. You should not wear a silver based cufflink on a white shirt, it would just blend in. You should shoot for a colour that stands out against the shirt. You must keep It in mind that this should go along with your belt head and its holes.

Glasses

If you wear medicated glasses, you would not be able to vary your choices, that is why you should go for a basic colour when picking your glass frame. You can never go wrong with black, it seems like the obvious choice for a lot of people. You may want to match your fashion glasses frame with your belt and shoes too.

Shoes

Shoes represent an integral part of a man’s accessory; you don’t want to get it wrong. Fortunately, the rules surrounding the accessory are not so verbose. You should pair your shoe colour with your belt colour, that is necessary. If you are wearing a grey shoe, you should wear a black belt. This is because grey and black are considered none colours. Any other shoe apart from black and grey should be paired with a brown belt. The rules for matching the metal head and holes of the belt to the metal on the shoe still stands too.

It’s time to step out in fine style and have all the fun.
