Accessories for men

What men's accessories are available at Tom Tailor?

Men's accessories by Tom Tailor cover pieces that finish off an outfit or are simply practical every day: belts in leather or suede as well as elastic belts, wallets and card holders, jewellery and watches, sunglasses, and beanies and caps. For the colder months there are scarves and gloves, and umbrellas for rainy days.

What are the must-have accessories for men?

Some accessories get used almost every day and go with lots of outfits. With these pieces, you're well covered:

• Leather belt: A smooth belt in a dark shade goes with jeans, chinos and smart trousers.
• Wallet or card holder: Some styles by Tom Tailor feature RFID protection, which stops your card details from being read without you noticing.
• Watch: A simple watch works just as well at the office as at the weekend.
• Sunglasses: They cut glare in summer and frame your face.
• Beanie and cap: A beanie keeps you warm in winter, while a cap shields you from the sun in summer.
• Scarf: In autumn and winter, it keeps your neck warm and adds colour to your outfit.

To give your look a more individual touch, add a bracelet or a subtle necklace.

Which accessories suit a business look?

At the office, understated accessories work best. A smooth leather belt with a simple pin buckle goes with chinos and smart trousers, ideally in the same shade as your shoes. Add a watch with a clean design and a slim wallet or card holder that won't bulk out your trouser pocket. In the colder months, a scarf with a touch of cashmere pairs well with a coat.

Which belt goes with which trousers?

With jeans, you can wear chunkier leather belts or suede belts, including ones with a bolder buckle. Chinos and smart trousers call for slimmer, smooth leather belts. Elastic woven belts can be fastened at any point and are comfortable with shorts or lightweight trousers in summer. At Tom Tailor, belt size is the distance in centimetres from the end of the belt to the third hole. The easiest way to find your size is to measure a belt that fits you well up to the hole you use most often.

How should men pair accessories?

Accessories look most cohesive when they complement each other and don't all compete for attention. These rules of thumb help:

• Choose a belt in the same or a similar shade to your shoes
• Match your metals: belt buckle, watch and jewellery ideally all in silver or all in gold
• Let one piece take centre stage per outfit, such as statement sunglasses or a patterned scarf
• In winter, coordinate the colours of your beanie, scarf and gloves

For a weekend look with jeans and a T-shirt, a cap, sunglasses and a woven belt work well. With a shirt and chinos, a leather belt and a watch look more polished.
