Accessories

Look we're going to be honest with you here. Most guys treat accessories like an afterthought they thought of while already halfway out the door and it shows. A watch shoved on at the last second with no consideration for whether it works with the outfit. A belt that's technically a belt but clearly came free with something years ago. The thing is accessories are where style actually gets interesting because they're the details that tell people you thought about this rather than just got dressed in the dark. We've learned this the hard way through years of wearing technically complete outfits that felt somehow unfinished. A well chosen pocket square can make a basic navy blazer look intentional. A decent watch on a simple outfit does more work than most people expect. None of this requires spending serious money or reading seventeen articles about capsule wardrobes. It just requires paying attention to the small things that most blokes quietly phone in every single day. That's what this section is about.

Beanies

There's a version of the beanie that makes you look like you're about to mug someone and there's a version that pulls an entire casual outfit together effortlessly and the difference is mostly about fit and fabric. We spent an embarrassingly long time on the wrong side of that divide wearing stretched out beanies that sat on our heads like sad deflated soufflés before we figured this out. The beanie is genuinely one of the most useful cold weather pieces in a man's wardrobe because it works across so many different situations. Commuting in November. A weekend walk somewhere grey and muddy. Hanging about at a market when you didn't dress quite warm enough. It adds something to a simple coat and jeans combination that makes the whole thing feel more considered rather than just cold and practical. We particularly love a chunky knit style in a neutral like charcoal or olive because it works with almost everything without making you look like you're trying particularly hard.

Belts

Belts exist in this weird category where most guys own at least two or three but have probably never actually thought about any of them. They're just there. Black one for smart stuff. Brown one that appeared from somewhere. Possibly a third one in a colour that was a mistake. We've been there. The thing about belts is they're one of those details that people notice when they're wrong even if they couldn't explain exactly why. A canvas belt with dress pants looks off even if nobody in the room could tell you what the problem is. A good leather belt in the right width for the pants you're wearing just works and makes the overall outfit feel like it was assembled by someone who knew what they were doing. We'd always say match your belt to your shoes when you're wearing anything smarter than jeans. It sounds like a minor thing but it creates a cohesion that genuinely makes a difference to how polished you look overall.

Briefcases

The briefcase went through a fairly rough patch in the cultural imagination where it became associated with men in bad suits getting on the tube looking like they'd given up on life. We're happy to report it's had a pretty significant comeback and honestly good riddance to the bag situation most guys were tolerating in the meantime. There's something about carrying your stuff in an actual structured bag rather than a rucksack with a laptop shoved in it that signals a certain level of intention about how you're presenting yourself. It doesn't have to be a rigid boxy thing that looks like it belongs to someone's dad circa 1987 either. Modern briefcases come in leather and canvas styles that work brilliantly with everything from a proper suit to smart jeans and a good coat. We particularly like a simple leather folio style that doesn't announce itself too loudly but adds to the overall impression that you've got your life reasonably together.

Cufflinks

Cufflinks feel intimidating to a lot of guys because they seem like they belong to a level of formality most of us rarely reach. But here's the thing we've noticed: the occasions where cufflinks are appropriate are also exactly the occasions where every other man in the room is wearing the same suit in roughly the same way and the small details are the only thing differentiating anyone. A decent pair of cufflinks on a well fitted shirt does a lot of quiet work. It says you thought about this to a degree that went beyond simply owning the correct number of layers. We're not talking novelty cufflinks shaped like tiny cars or your star sign or whatever. Simple is almost always better. Silver or gold depending on your watch. Something with a clean geometric shape or a subtle texture. The kind of thing that reads as intentional rather than inherited from a relative who had very different taste to you.

Gym Bags

Most gym bags we've owned over the years have been either too small to fit everything or so enormous that carrying them felt like a workout in itself before we'd even arrived. Getting this right matters more than it probably should because the bag you bring to the gym is also frequently the bag you're carrying through the rest of your day and a battered old logo bag from a sports event six years ago is doing your overall presentation no favours at all. We look for something with a decent main compartment for kit and a separate section for shoes because nobody wants their trainers touching everything else. A ventilation pocket is genuinely useful rather than just a selling point. Beyond the practical stuff we want something that looks clean and considered when it's sitting next to your desk or by the café door while you have your post gym coffee rather than something that looks like it's been through actual warfare.

Hats

The hat is probably the most commitment-intensive accessory in men's style because unlike most things you can adjust or reconsider it's just sitting there on your head in full view of everyone. Which means the stakes feel higher and most guys either avoid them entirely or go too hard and end up looking like they're wearing a costume. We've made both mistakes. The key things we've figured out are that the brim width should roughly correspond to your face shape and that the most wearable hats for everyday life are almost always the least dramatic ones. A simple wool fedora in charcoal works for more situations than you'd expect. A bucket hat in a neutral works for casual dressing without looking like you're performing a specific era of menswear at people. A cap needs to be clean and fairly minimal to do the job properly. Start simpler than you think you need to and build from there.

Messenger Bags

The messenger bag is one of those things that works brilliantly when it works and looks slightly chaotic when it doesn't and the difference usually comes down to size and structure. We've had messenger bags that were technically carrying our stuff fine but because they were too big they flapped around and ruined the silhouette of every outfit we wore them with. Getting a bag that's proportional to what you actually need to carry rather than buying for maximum capacity is genuinely the main advice here. Beyond that we love a messenger bag for its versatility in a way that a briefcase can't quite match. It works with a smarter outfit but it also works thrown over a coat on a weekend in a way that a rigid briefcase simply doesn't. Good quality canvas or leather makes a significant difference to how it ages and a well structured messenger bag that's been used for years often looks better than a new cheap one fresh out of the packaging.

Pocket Squares

Of all the things we've added to our wardrobes over the years the pocket square has probably delivered the most return for the least investment and we say this as people who were extremely sceptical about pocket squares for a very long time. They felt fussy. They felt like the sort of thing someone's dad wore to a function in 1974. Then we tried one with a navy blazer and a simple white shirt and something clicked. It's not about matching your tie. It's not about folding it into some origami situation. Just a simple fold showing a bit of white or a subtle pattern at the top of your breast pocket changes the whole weight and intention of a jacket. We've found white linen works for almost everything formal and slightly bolder patterns work well for more relaxed occasions. This is a very cheap way to make your suits and blazers look significantly more considered.

Scarves

A good scarf is probably the easiest upgrade most men can make to their winter wardrobe and it requires no effort whatsoever beyond owning the scarf. Which is why it's slightly baffling that so many guys are out here in November with their collars turned up against the cold looking vaguely miserable when the solution costs about forty quid and takes three seconds to put on. We've built up a small collection over the years that covers the main bases. A chunky wool scarf for genuinely cold days when you need the warmth and don't particularly care about elegance. A finer merino or cashmere blend for smarter outfits where you want the warmth without adding bulk. A cotton or linen one for those transitional months where you're cold in the morning and too warm by lunchtime. The key thing we've learned is that a scarf in a good neutral colour like camel or grey works with everything and looks intentional rather than like you just grabbed whatever was nearest.

Silk Ties

The tie gets a bad reputation these days partly because the occasions that require one have become less frequent and partly because so many men only wear one when they're forced to which means they've never really learned how to make one work. We've been guilty of this ourselves. Showing up to something with a tie that was clearly an afterthought knotted too short or too long or in a way that suggested we'd watched a YouTube tutorial once three years ago and hoped for the best. A silk tie done right is genuinely one of the sharpest things a man can wear. The knot matters. The dimple below the knot matters more than you'd think. The width of the tie should roughly match the width of your lapels. None of this is complicated once you know it but it's the kind of thing that separates an outfit that looks properly finished from one that looks like you got dressed in a hurry and hoped nobody would notice.

Sports Watches

The sports watch occupies this interesting middle ground in men's style where it's simultaneously more casual than a dress watch and yet somehow still commands significant attention and signals certain things about the person wearing it. We've watched guys at meetings derail entire conversations just by having an interesting watch on their wrist which tells you something about how much people unconsciously notice them. What we love about a good sports watch is that it works with more outfits than you'd expect. Obviously it works with casual stuff and weekend clothes. But a clean sports watch with a simple dial works just as well with a navy suit as a more formal option if you're not going to something with a strict dress code. The key is keeping everything else clean and intentional around it. A sports watch on a sloppy outfit just looks incongruous. On a well put together one it adds a confident practicality that works really well.

Sunglasses

Getting sunglasses right is one of those style problems that feels complicated because there are so many options and the wrong pair genuinely does look odd in a way that's hard to articulate but easy to see. The shape of the frame relative to your face shape is the main thing and it's worth doing five minutes of research once rather than just grabbing whatever looks good on the model. Beyond that we've found the biggest mistake most guys make is owning either sunglasses that are far too attention seeking or ones that are so forgettable they add nothing. A simple tortoiseshell or black frame in a classic shape is almost impossible to get wrong. Wayfarers and simple round frames tend to work across a wide range of face shapes and outfit styles. Dark lenses that you can actually see properly through are worth paying for because cheap lenses give you a headache and don't protect your eyes properly and there's no point in any of it if you can't actually see.

Wallets

The wallet is perhaps the most overlooked accessory men carry every single day and the number of guys we've seen pull out something that looks like it's been through a washing machine several times in an otherwise well considered outfit is genuinely striking. We're not saying you need to spend a fortune. But a wallet that's bulging with three years of receipts and cards you've never used and is held together by what appears to be sheer optimism does undermine the effort you've put in everywhere else. What we've moved towards over the years is something slim and in good quality leather that only carries what we actually need. A card holder rather than a traditional billfold is the right move if you're someone who never really uses cash which at this point is most of us. It's one of those purchases where spending a bit more once makes far more sense than replacing a bad one every eighteen months.

Weekend Bags

The weekend bag is the kind of thing you only think about when you actually need one and by then it's too late to make a good decision so you end up borrowing something unsuitable or worse turning up somewhere with a holdall that was clearly designed for a different purpose. We've learned to think about this more carefully because the bag you arrive somewhere with sets a certain tone before you've even unpacked anything. What we want from a weekend bag is enough space for two or three days of clothes without being so large it qualifies as full luggage. Good handles that don't cut into your hands when it's loaded. A shoulder strap for when you're navigating public transport. And ideally something in a canvas or leather that looks like it's been somewhere interesting rather than like you found it in the back of a wardrobe. A classic duffle or holdall style in navy or tan tends to work brilliantly and ages incredibly well.
