Style guide: Combining men's accessories correctly

They can round off your outfit, emphasize your own style and give you a visual treat: There are many accessories for men - and they ensure that your look is anything but boring. We'll show you seven tips for choosing accessories and combining them with your outfit.

1. First the outfit, then the accessories

As important as accessories are and as much styling freedom they give you: You should choose the clothes for your look first and then match the accessories to them. If you decide which bracelet or belt to wear first, it's much harder to choose jeans and shirt to go with it than the other way around.

So start with the outfit first and then focus on the accessories. Think about whether you want to make a statement with a statement piece or create a subtle addition with a simple watch. In order to be equipped for all occasions and intentions, it is advisable to have enough accessories to choose from. Make sure they are of good quality - because regardless of style and occasion, only high-quality accessories ensure a really good look.

2. Accessories to suit the occasion

There are occasions when a tie is still considered an essential accessory. At other events, you're pretty much off the mark. Pay attention to your look, whether it's a formal or more casual date, whether you want to look particularly serious or stylish. There are accessories for every style.

When choosing, you can roughly follow the tip that you should choose subtle colors and patterns for formal occasions. The freer you are in your choice, the more colorful and eye-catching the accessories can be. For business events, you can also opt for jewelry such as bracelets in addition to classic accessories such as watches and belts. Make sure they have a matching design and are made from high-quality materials - such as this bracelet from SERASARwhich, with its black simplicity, is actually suitable for all occasions.

3. The leather should match the leather

You can always wear high-quality leather accessories. The most important thing here is to pay attention to good quality and professional workmanship - but the combination of the individual pieces is also important. If your shoes are black, you should also wear a black belt and ideally a black leather bracelet.

When choosing accessories, it is helpful to start with your shoes. Once you have decided on a pair and a leather color, this will determine the rest of your style. If you are wearing a watch with a leather strap, this should also match the shoes and belt if possible. And your wallet should also perfectly match the color of the right leather accessories. If you choose black leather, you'll make the right choice with this wallet from SERASAR you are doing everything right.

4. Match the metal to each other

The situation with metals is similar to that with leather: Make sure that the belt buckle and watch match, for example. A shiny gold watch when the belt is made of matt silver? Not a good idea, because this mismatch will catch the eye. If everything matches, the result is a coherent and uniform look.

Once you have matched your watch and belt, you can complete your style with a matching bracelet - if you keep an eye on the metal here too. A black leather bracelet with a stainless steel clasp from SERASAR can add a further highlight to your outfit if you have also opted for this color and material combination for the other accessories. 

5. Don't be afraid of jewelry

Jewelry is no longer just reserved for women: Necklaces, pearl bracelets or rings also make a good impression with a classy and casual men's outfit. They can be worn discreetly under a shirt or sweater or as a statement, for example if you don't button up your shirt completely or roll up your sleeves.

As always, pay attention to high quality - especially if you are wearing a necklace that is visible at first glance. One Leather necklace with pendant can be a visual highlight. Again, keep an eye on the color of the other accessories so that you don't break up the look.

6. The right watch for the outfit

A watch is more than just a means of telling the time: it can define your style, it can be a status symbol, or it can just be a subtle addition. Whatever you choose, keep in mind that there are many people who will check your watch to get an impression of you. Wearing a very expensive model on your wrist is a statement. A poorly made watch can have exactly the opposite effect.

If you want to use a watch as a simple and stylish element of your outfit, the "BLACK ONE" from SERASAR fits perfectly into your concept. It is flat enough to fit under any shirt and the black leather strap creates a classy but understated look. A watch in this style is therefore a good choice if - as you've probably already realized - it matches the rest of your accessories in terms of color and material.

7. Finish in the right place

Even though there are so many cool accessories that you might want to include in your look, it's also crucial for your outfit that you know when enough is enough. Especially when it comes to jewelry, take a close look at whether a ring with a leather bracelet is too much. Whether the necklace is too over the top with an eye-catching belt. Or perhaps a perfect match?

Take your time to test different options and get feedback if it's really important that your look fits. The more often you use the pieces consciously and skillfully, the easier it will be for you to take your time - and then the right accessories will ensure a really good appearance.
