While many people think of accessorizing as something that’s primarily done by women, men can just as easily elevate their looks with the right accessories. But depending on the look and image that you’re trying to create, the accessories you use and the way in which you style them will vary.
To help you get the exact look that you’re wanting, here are three accessorizing tips for men.
Accessorize With Confidence
Before you even start accessorizing, one of the first things you should do is decide that you’ll wear whatever accessories you choose with confidence.
For men that aren’t used to wearing accessories, it can sometimes feel weird to wear accessories the first few times. But when you feel uncomfortable with what you’re wearing, regardless of how those accessories might look to outsiders, they’re going to see that self-consciousness shining through. To combat this, make sure that you feel comfortable and confident in your decision to accessorize and in the accessories you choose. The more confident you are in what you’re wearing and the accessories you’ve chosen, the better you’ll be able to pull off the look.
Don’t Go Overboard
When you’re first starting out with wearing accessories, you might be so excited about how you can style your clothes that you start piling on accessory after accessory. And while this can be a look that you want to go for, in most cases, you should try to avoid going overboard with the accessories you choose.
With most men’s accessories, the pieces are significantly bigger than their counterparts made for women. So if you’re going to be wearing bigger pieces, you don’t want to have too many of them overshadowing each other and the rest of your look.
As a good rule of thumb, you should choose just a few ways to accessorize your look each time. And if you have one piece that’s particularly large, you should try to balance out that look with smaller pieces that are a bit more subtle.
Invest In Versatile Pieces
Finding quality accessories that you can wear with all kinds of outfits should be your goal in accessorizing. For example, it’s going to be more worth your time and money to buy a vintage gold necklace that will look great for years to come than you purchase a cheaper version that won’t look good after you’ve had it for a few months.
These quality and versatile pieces can be great ways to balance out your accessories as you use them as the subtle pieces that you wear as accents to more daring clothing choices or bigger accessories.
If you want to wear more accessories on a regular basis as a man, consider implementing the tips mentioned above to help you learn how to do this successfully.
