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.

The Designer Prada Brand

Aah! And then there’s what we all want: Prada! Fresh, luxury, stylishly cut and expertly designed products are synonymous with Prada. This is a name capable of striking awe and reverence in the lives of many a fashionista. Having been there for over a century, Prada prides itself in being a luxury and diverse fashion house, renowned for shoes, leather handbags, perfumes and basically all other elegant accessories you can think of. With a rich history and worldwide fame for designing the absolutely stunning and high-quality products, Prada has remained a consistent fashion giant, both in its Italian country of origin and in the global arena.

Perhaps what many consider Prada’s biggest selling point is the originality that goes into the designs of the various Prada Products available in the market. Take for instance the Prada handbag. The incredible edge, stylish cut and finishing, interior design and wholesome spectacular presentation that is associated with Prada is unmissable. New bags in all colors, shapes, sizes, designs and tags are launched by this fashion house on a regular basis to keep us looking and feeling Fab- because we cannot pretend like there’s no thrill and razzmatazz that grips our senses when we rock that Prada bag. The patently bold logo alone is enough to spark envy amongst friends for generations to come.

The Prada fragrance line is also one of a kind. The wondrous Prada scents are available for men and women of all ages who appreciate a classy perfume to keep things fresh. The Prada Amber pour Homme Intense for men launched in 2011 was and has been a huge hit among the guys. Its predecessors, Infusion d’Homme for men, a 2008 hit and the very first Prada Amber pour Homme for men released to the eager public are also a very popular trend.

Prada Candy for women was one of the massive production by Prada in 2011.

Then in comes all the imitations flooding the market. Nobody wants a knockoff Prada at this day and age. Want to know how to tell if it’s a counterfeit product? Most manufacturers of fake Prada bags and other products are not quite able to pull off the funky ‘R’ in “Prada”. The idea is that an original should reflect a notch off of the ‘R’. Another thing, the straps will give you an idea. Original Prada straps are sturdy and with a perfect finishing. Most knockoffs will lack this quality.

Prada is also a perfect brand for accessories necessary to complete your look for any given occasion. Definitely a recipe for class, elegance, and confidence. It is very wise of every person with a sense of fashion to own at least one Prada product. Most of us prefer the sleek and gorgeous Prada handbag, and it always comes through!

Must have shoes for men

Contrary to the popular yet misplaced gender stereotype as far as footwear is concerned, men love shopping themselves some shoes too. As much as the shirt and cologne a man is wearing at any given time, his shoes will also give a glimpse of his fashion taste.

Shoe designers and retailers all alike are not oblivious to this and as such keep their male clients spoilt for choice. There are many types of shoes available in the market.

Here’s a list of the ones you shouldn’t miss in your wardrobe:

1.Loafers

This is a must-have for every guy who wants that genial pseudo-formal look for work or just that usual routine. Loafers are that versatile shoe that will look great with all your favorite outfits, be it your casual jeans, khaki pants, shorts or just about any look you go for. In addition to being stylish and charming, loafers are also very comfy and ideal for daily routines. They come in leather or other fabrics, with denim finding its way into the popular isle of fashion. The loafers come in plain leather designs, others have tassels, buckles or any other details to add some masculine urbane touch to the look.

2. Casual Street Sneakers

This is the all-time sturdy and reliable favorite of the sneaker lot. For that quick dash to the garage or the supermarket or game with the boys, the old school Adidas are a perfect choice. Comfortable, stylish and casual, these sneakers will give you the same exact look!

3. Work Boots

Sole traction is something every man should concern himself with. Protection of the toes as well as stability for your ankles are all equally vital concerns. The shoe that will ensure all of the above?  Work boots! They’re warm, comfy and keep your feet safe from all the elements out to get them. Dropping the wheel spanner accidentally on your toes doesn’t need to have you in the emergency room all the time with fractured toes. In addition, these look distinguish in a masculine and charming way.

4. Gym Sneakers

It just won’t do if you have all these classy and expensive shoes and outfits if you don’t have the body to match. Lose the paunch!  It gives you the confidence and machismo you need as everyday armor. Hit the running tracks or the gym.
