Essential accessories for any man

1. A good vintage jacket

A denim jacket won’t let you down when looking to add a finishing touch to your outfit. The first thing you must decide when looking at vintage denim jackets is the colour.

While the classic look is blue jean, there are many colour choices available to you, each with their own benefits. The most commonly seen colour is blue jean, and it is the colour that can be used with the widest range of clothes.

It is a neutral colour, and, therefore, will be a staple in your wardrobe if you only wish to own a single denim jacket. The next most common colour is white jean. Most coloured jeans are commonly worn by women.

The next most important thing to choose is the wash. The most versatile and conservative of washes is medium to dark. Dark washes look much better in most circumstances.

They portray a clean cut and put together appearance. This allows you to pair the jacket with many different options of casual yet chic clothes.

2. Mens trouser braces

Mens braces have come back into fashion over the past few years, and there doesn’t seem to be any signs of them going anywhere soon. This is a good idea if you’re looking for gifts for him.

The great thing about braces is that you are able to create so many different looks with this accessory. Braces can be used for both formal and casual looks. Let’s begin with the latter.

When going for a casual look, you have more gift options available to you and there really are no style rules. You can let your personality shine through. A lot of people like to team braces with jeans and a vintage t-shirt for a cool retro look.

Alternatively, you can go for a punk rock vibe with thin mens trouser braces in a clip-on style. What about wearing braces when creating a formal look? Most men will want to go for the classic suited and booted look, which never fails to look suave and stylish.  

3. A good watch

A watch is an accessory that is extremely versatile. There are so many different styles available and a watch goes with any outfit you are wearing. It is the most obvious accessory, and therefore it can often be overlooked.

Nevertheless, the effect of a watch is dazzling. A stylish watch can instantly upgrade any outfit you are wearing and give it that red carpet edge. If you have a fashionable watch on your wrist then you are guaranteed to get all the attention.

Rotary is a Swiss watch manufacturer, and they were established in 1895. They have gone from strength to strength over the years and their experience is replicated by few others.

It is this experience that makes the brand of watch such a good one to go for. They have adapted to the trends year after year and therefore you can rest assured that their range replicates the current styles.
