The festive season’s all fun and games until the real occasionwear outfit crisis begins to set in. From traditional festivals to weddings and even holiday parties, this is the time to go all out with your wardrobes, boys.
Fashion has reached its epitome and new trends are blazing the markets this festive season with everyone going gaga in an attempt to showcase newer silhouettes and styles. And believe it or not, menswear has come a long way since its humble beginnings and is now neck and neck with the contemporary edge womenswear exhibits.
Stay ahead of the curve with a little secret weapon in your arsenal: Accessories. From abstract brooches to quirky pins, the right accessory makes a world of difference. And as celebrations call for a little extravagance, here’s how you can use accessories to amp up the ante this festive season.
Bling it Up
The days when jewellery was marginalized from men’s wardrobes are far gone. This festive season, express your personality and individuality as a style aficionado by pairing subtle yet noticeable neckpieces with your traditional sherwanis and bandhgalas. Rings and bracelets have also gained a remarkable shape in modern occasion wear. Especially jewelry featuring precious stones like ruby, emeralds, and pearls make incredible investment pieces which you can use for years to come.
Say it With A Scarf
When it comes to closed neck topwear, scarfs are unforgettable accessories that create an aura of confidence and masculinity. A selection of dark or neutral colours with a couple artistic patterns to break the monotony add the perfect contrast to your festive wardrobe and establish your style as the act to follow.
Cufflinks and Pocket Squares to Seal the Deal
Your festive attire isn’t really ‘festive’ in the truest sense without a little cufflink and pocket square action in the mix. Although chiffon, satin or silk pocket squares can be considered fairly minisculely sized accessories, their impact is insurmountable. With the ability to switch up your look and change the complete persona of your collective, these accessories have reinvented men’s fashion trends and have become a forever essential.
Experiment With Footwear
This festive season take your dressing game to the next level with the perfect pair of shoes. Be it your ethnic pair of stylized jutis or a pair of brogues, footwear has the ability to say more about an individual than their ensemble ever will.
Bring Out the Belts
Belts do more than just hold your outfit together. They’ve got the power to make or break an outfit. You could either look sharp and dapper or just a huge terrible color mismatch, just by getting your choices twisted. Our advice is, avoid the loud colors and stick with the basic blacks and browns. After all, they work for a reason!
Yes to Brooches and Lapel Pins
Stepping out this festive season without a brooch and a lapel pin will feel like missing an essential part of your look. Be it gold, silver or diamonds too, brooches with intricate design work and studded gemstones are true complements to the jewelry and accessories that a man is entitled to flaunt in the festive season.
Even though the days when accessories were a luxury that not all men could afford aren’t far too behind, they’re now more accessible than ever. From bracelets to bags, accessories are your best friends. And the sooner you acknowledge the fact, the sooner you’re ready to be the talk of the town!
