Men’s Accessories – For Men Who Prefer to Let Their Ensemble Do the Talking

Accessories can be an excellent way to exhibit your style and personality without speaking a single word. Done right, your ensemble can be a pure reflection of who you are.

Here are 2016’s hottest men’s accessories.

Essential longer, lighter scarves

Scarf

Scarves are manly! There is hardly anyone left who hasn’t tried on men’s scarves. While some seasons demand the need for one, ultra light, longer scarves are almost perennial (sans summer) in many areas. And then there are summer scarves!  Depending on how you wear it, a scarf can be a subtle or a bold fashion statement; but a discernible one for certain.

This seems to be the year for round sunglasses

Sunglasses

Ah! Do these not go without saying? So far it seems that 2016 is a year for round shades. Now we know what you’re thinking – unless you have cheekbones that can save the world, rocking round shades may not really be an option for you. But that’s not really the case. Most round sunglasses this year feature enough taper to look good on any face shape. Try on a couple before you make your mind up.

Look out for premium, exquisite backpacks

Backpacks

Backpacks are all the rage this season. Let’s be honest, backpacks have been popular for a while now but this year is speculated to take the trend to new heights! 2016 has already seen designers moving from low-hanging, bright stripes and large sizes to high-end, more ‘grown up’, leather designs, and we expect this trend to continue.

Baseball caps

Baseball caps are still here! Out with the oversized, New Era style caps, street style has a new favorite. Confident, relaxed, bent brims and texture – wool and leather are expected to be the premium choice this year.

Are you following these trends? What are you up to this year, fashion-wise? Let us know in the comments!

Tiaras, Chokers and Ear Jackets: Is This the Future of Everyday Jewelry?

2016 has seen an explosion of novel fashion statements. From celebrities to common public, everybody is flaunting pieces too outré for the past. Chokers, for instance, have taken the fashion world by storm and continue doing so. We won’t be surprised if they remember it as ‘The Year of the Choker’ or something!

Here’s a little insight into each of these fresh trends.

Tiaras are casual now

Tiaras

Tiaras have been around for a very, very long time. Heck, they’re featured in fairytales that begin with “Once upon a time (a long, long time ago)” and end with “happily ever after”. A diamond tiara has been an object of fantasy for girls all around the world, much like the wedding dress.

Of late, we have witnessed women taking to the streets, walking to their offices while rocking a tiara. Is this trend gonna catch on? Or is it another in an endless list of fads that die out sooner than they bloom?

The answer truly depends on whether you CAN flaunt one. Wearing a tiara everyday is certainly not unheard of or bizarre anymore. So it all comes down to how you like to dress and what you prefer to flaunt.

Chokers are evolving fast

Chokers

One thing is undeniable, chokers are in and they’re here to stay. If you haven’t jumped on this bandwagon, try to keep up! Chokers are so in that opinions already differ on HOW you should show them off, how to detail them and what to wear with them! The latest trend is to go minimalistic.

Chokers have had an illustrious history. From being associated with aristocracy to being a symbol of prostitution and a mark of ownership, chokers have always told stories in the past. This time around though, chokers are part of the boldest statement jewelry in vogue.

Hot, luxe and selling like hotcakes – ear jackets

Ear Jackets

After the rave that oversized hoops brought along as well as the rising popularity of ear cuffs, 2016 has yet more in store for ear jewelry enthusiasts – the ear jacket. Ear jackets are the hottest trend this season. Truth be told, this innovative jewelry style hasn’t caught on quite as much yet, but if expert predictions are anything to go by, ear jackets are the next big thing. While we can’t be entirely sure about how long everyday tiaras are going to hold their ground, we feel pretty confident that ear jackets will catch on and stay for a long, long time. After all, it’s too cool a trend to simply pass us by. Expect to see major brand names come out with their ear jackets collection soon.

Do you think tiaras, chokers and ear jackets are going to make it to your wardrobe any time soon? Let us know in the comments below

Rock ’n’ Roll Ain’t Dead Just Yet (Nor is Denim)

Denim is the fabric of rock, and roll, and everything in between. A staple of freedom and style since Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis invented the blue jeans in late 19^th century; the denim was adopted as the favourite child of rock and roll fashion in the ‘50s. Enjoying tremendous popularity ever since, the jeans has become an icon of free-thought and equality.

What’s the latest buzz in street wear? Well you guessed it – denim! After years and years, denim still remains the fabric of choice in casual wear.

So, in keeping with the spirit of denim, here are a few ideas to spruce up your jeans department:

Old is cool

Before you throw away your old classic pair of trousers, consider giving them a new life. Not many styles of denim truly go into “hell no” territory (except maybe the bell-bottoms, and hopefully very skinny jeans once that fad is over!). There is nothing wrong with a good pair of ‘90s ripped jeans.

Custom embroidery

Now this is a relatively new trend for women that should catch on quickly. You can get your pair of denim trousers embroidered with any design you want! Hot areas for embroidery include back pockets and along the seam at the bottom.

Two words, denim accessories

Yup, accessorize! Denim jackets? Well, they’ve been around for a while. Denim shoes, denim vests, denim bags, denim hats, denim briefs – denim as a fabric is no longer exclusive to jeans and trousers. We even heard of denim-lined wallets for men some time ago. Denim is taking the next step in fabric evolution, and we are looking forward to it!

Unorthodox pairing

Pairing the eternally casual blue jeans with a rich velvet jacket works elegantly. If you’re going for a semi-formal look, you can team your jeans up with a nice semi-formal blazer; and if you do it carefully, you can easily pull off wearing a good pair of jeans with a suit jacket that fits. No pairing is too outré for well-fitting denim trousers.

Can’t seem to get enough of denim in your wardrobe? We don’t blame you ‘cause neither can we.
