Men’s Designer Accessories
An outfit can be perfect but to look its very best in the smallest detail, you need to select the right accessories, otherwise it can look simply flat and insipid. For a long time, wearing a belt or bag to match shoes, rather than the right bracelet or a simple phonecase, was a female prerogative but today this custom has been completely legitimised and adopted by an increasing number of men of all ages who follow fashion and love expressing their personality through the right accessory.
It can be safelystated that vanity does not pertain exclusively to women; on the contrary, a survey carried out on one thousand Italians comprised 50% by men, aged between 15 and 65 years old, revealed that men are among the most vain, striving not only to improve their physique but also their appearance and style. To prove this, simply take a walk through any city centre and see how men care about how they look, paying attention to their choice of accessories. And while less attention goes to t-shirts or jeans as fast fashion reigns supreme, men are not prepared to compromise on their accessories. Belts, hats, wallets, scarves, glasses, jewellery and lots of other items make up the men’s designer accessories ranges for top fashion companies, such as Prada, Bottega Veneta and Burberry.
Men’s belts: some tips on how to make the right choice
Belts have always been the top favourite among men’s designer accessories. Personal taste of course plays a part when choosing a belt but there are also other factors, such as the possibility of matching it with shoes, its width and buckle size (narrower belts with a small buckle are more elegant, while wider belts with bulky buckles are great as a more casual look), and the material (leather or fabric).
Men’s hats to liven up and enhance all styles
Whether it’s a baseball cap, a simple beanie or a bucket hat, this accessory is firmly back on men’s heads for increased stylishness. Originally to provide protection from the sun, hats then took on a social function before arriving at today’s status where, if matched in the right way, can really make the difference by making even simple outfits look special. Simply look at the many models and choose one nearest your own tastes.
AMen’s scarves: the perfect accessory for every occasion
A scarf is surely the men’s accessory that can offer the most in every aspect: versatility, aesthetics and utility. It is the perfect complementary item for every outfit, whether it’s cold and you need to keep warm, or simply wish to protect your neck from light spring and summer breezes.
Bottega Veneta Men’s Accessories
Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 in Vicenza by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro. From the outset, the brand managed to establish a new benchmark in the world of fashion luxury, making a name for its men’s luxury accessories and leather items, and the particular woven effect carried out extreme artisan skill by the company, a technique which is still today a distinctive motif of the company. Fashion, innovation and luxury are keywords for the famous brand, which has always stood out for its extremely refined style, faithfully reproduced in every item and model of the collections, including accessories.
Prada’s Men’s Accessories
More than a century has passed since the Prada brothers opened an elegant boutique, in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Today, the small family-run company is one of the most influential and leading fashion houses in the world. In all the collections of the range, there can be seen a battle against stereotypes and a wish for creative and intellectual freedom to prevail, refuting obstacles and becoming an expression of personal taste irrespective of current trends. The Prada collection is well-defined and easily recognisable, also in the men’s accessories, from wallets to belts, sunglasses, hats and scarves. To sum up, each Prada item is a unique piece, created with classic materials and able to offer every outfit an unmistakeable touch of flair and timeless elegance.
Burberry’s Men’s Accessories
When talking about haute couture, Burberry always gets a mention. Founded in 1986 by Thomas Burberry, a lover of fabrics and tailoring, the brand was the first to try and combine design and practicality. Today, the typically British style and class of the famous haute couture maison is admired by men all over the world who appreciate its style, design, fabrics and colours. Smart but never banal, sophisticated but never excessive, casual to just the right point, Burberry is perfect for the man who loves a refined look, a little outrè and slightly outside the box. The brand’s iconic feature is the classic tartan pattern used in all items in the collection, including shoes, wallets, belts, hats and many other luxury accessories for men.
