The Guide: Men’s Accessories – What to Buy this month
Words: Violet
February, that awkward in-between month where nothing really seems to know what it’s doing. It’s sunny in the morning, then raining by lunchtime. The January sales have ended and the summer stock is creeping its way onto the rails of our favourite shops. A confusing time at best for the fashionably focused among you. With this in mind, we decided to make your life a little easier by showing you our picks of the best accessories to buy this month. We’ve bore in mind that these accessories will be suitable to wear now while still technically in Winter, but equally should see you sail sartorially through into the summer months…
MULBERRY CUFFLINKS
These simple gold cufflinks from Mulberry are the perfect accompaniment to any mans’ wardrobe. Subtle, but spot on style-wise, wear them day or night no matter the season for the perfect dash of dapper.
Available from £115 at mulberry.com
GUCCI SUNGLASSES
Ideal for these cold, but sunshine filled mornings we seem to be having at the moment. Plus they will translate perfectly into your summer wardrobe once the cold spell is over.
Available from £270 at gucci.com
ALFRED DUNHILL POCKET SQUARE
The ideal linen pocket square that will lend itself seamlessly to your spring outfits, but perfect also for now. The simplicity of it makes it just right when adding a touch of suave to your outfit.
Available from £55 at dunhill.co.uk
BURBERRY TIE
A little bit school-days, a little bit Ivy-League, just what we want from a spring/summer tie, but equally can be worn in these colder weeks to brighten up a dreary day.
Available from £195 at burberry.com
SAINT LAURENT BRIEFCASE
An update on an old classic, we love the way the dark navy colour of this leather briefcase guides us away from the usual black or brown. Not bright enough to stand out like a sore thumb at the moment, but enough of a change to fly your fashion flag with pride come spring.
Available from $1,890 at ysl.com
DOLCE & GABBANA SCARF
A scarf can be the perfect accessories to take your outfit up a notch in the style stakes, so take your cue from D&G with this dark number. The muted palette makes it ideal for adding understated sophistication to your formal look.
Available from £185 at mrporter.com
