ALL IN THE DETAILS: A Forgotten Accessory

January 16th, 2017 at 2:00am

When you’re done getting dressed for any occasion, take the time to find the right accessories for your look. Don’t rush this step. The right accessories give any outfit a little edge and makes your look completely unique. When it comes to accessorizing, I always say don’t pile it on, pick and choose the accents that will help your outfit stand out.

While heading to brunch I ran into this trendy guy wearing a maroon turtleneck, a distressed denim jacket, green ripped pants, and a pair of tawny Chelsea boots. This look caught my attention because it features many different complementary colors.

My model took the time to me about his outfit and what his favorite accessory is. “Every man needs a watch,” he said, “It’s timeless, functional and an important accessory to any outfit.” I couldn’t agree more, his brown leather watch and matching belt add cohesion to his look. I also love how his arm candy is balanced: one hand rocking the watch and the other with multiple beaded bracelets, each a slightly different color within the same family. However, my favorite thing about this look is the attention to details. Each piece complements the outfit in a subtle way and leave room for an often overlooked accessory: facial hair. Men often forget that facial hair is a noticeable addition to an outfit, but with a beard like that it’s hard to overpass. Because there are few big accessories here, the beard is able to make a statement that doesn’t clash with anything else. All in all, this outfit works because the watch, bracelets, and belt all work to complement this gentleman’s facial hair to create a thoughtfully cool outfit for running errands.
