10 MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES FOR EVERY MAN

 Every man should aspire to be the best version of

 themselves. Apart from self care to accompany 

their sense of style when it comes to fashion

 accessories should be included. Accessories

 definitely complete ones look entirely.


1. Watch

A wrist watch should be your

 best friend in the accessory department.

Men who appreciate a signature watch

understand the investment.

2. Wallet



The closet thing to a man should be

 his wallet. This is one item that is never 

forgotten & always carried around. The

 best type of wallet is a card holder. Unlike 

woman we don't need extra or carry

 unnecessary things really.

Recommends:

Stick to leather & black or

 brown colours.

3. Sunglasses

When it comes to sunglasses its

 not merely the type of sunglasses

but rather the shape of the sunglasses

 that make all the difference.

Recommends:

Always go for sunglasses that

 compliment the shape

 of your face

4. Tie


Statement or not, a statement tie in the closet 

is a must have. Whether you prefer a bold 

coloured tie, simply plain with a touch of

 detail or an out of this world outstandingly

 detailed tie, one should always exist.

 Recommends:

Florals & patterns are a must! 

We not forgetting the bow tie in this mix

5. Shoes

Stylish brown Oxfords,never disappoint.

If its not Oxford formal shoes

 or loafers what else would you 

be looking for? 

Recommends:

When it comes to loafers tassels or not,

 the leather & suedes are what we love.

Colours for both types always have a black,

brown or navy pair. You can always

 go bold with the loafers though, red 

never hurt

6. Hat/Cap

or nay from you?

Plain tucker cap. Whether you like

 it suede,leather or vintage all that

 matters is that its plain

The perfect fedora! Suitable for all seasons

 & occasions. Not forgetting our new 

found love for the brimless caps.

Recommends:

Hats always go for neutral  colours such as 

black, beige or brown. Caps also stick to simple

 neutrals or go bright eliminate 

prints & branding. 

7. Socks


Not gone are the days of happy socks!

A definite must have cant be without

 a pair of happy socks. There's a reason

they call them that.

Recommends:

We like them bright & lucky! Bright

colours & patterns are strict

 requirement.

8. Bag

Portable & functional. 

When it comes to bags, we not talking

 about the cross over bag or the innovative sling bag,

we talking about the old school leather backpack & 

duffel bag. So make sure they part of the list.

9. Belt


Now we all know that most outfits

 are never complete without a belt. Whether

 its a designer belt or no name brand, 

one does need a decent belt. And decent is 

not a bad thing.

Recommends:

Always make sure you get

 a good quality belt.

10. Sneakers


Because you will not be in formal

 shoes the entire day, it never a bad

 thing to have a couple pairs or your

 favourite sneakers. For those laid back

 days or that semi formal themed event a 

pair or two or should we say more than 

that wouldn't hurt

Recommends:

Have a pair for something different eg;

a jogging pair, a daily pair & expensive

 events pair.

 should have made our list? Comment

COLOUR POPPIN LOOKS '2020

 Call it what you will, 'colour blocking' or 'colour poppin.'

Colour blocking according to wiki pedia is thought 

as the exploration of taking colors that are opposite on

the colour wheel and pairing them together to make

interesting and complimentary colour combinations. 

This is also said to be inspired by

 Dutch painter Piet Mondrian


Here are some of our favourite

 looks thus far:
