Accessories are a powerhouse tool to help you dress better, so always invest in quality over quantity. From a simple chain to a rolling Rolex, here are luxury accessories every man should have in their wardrobe.
You know what they say, the overall effect of your accessories – if picked suitable – is much greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, investing in top-tier accessories means that you make the right decision once, and it pays off.
What about a simple signature accessory that can transport anyone to a fashion feel-good? And better yet, what if we can reap the rewards from something as simple as a ring? Yes, cars and jets can get you there but let’s be honest, dynamite comes in small packages.
So stick to the classics. Here are five accessories worth the cheque:
A High-Quality Watch
It will help if you are looking for an heirloom watch. In other words, a watch that’s a high-quality timepiece, usually from a reputable name that you know you can pass down or give back to a collector over time. The most expensive parts that make up the watch lie within the watch’s face and the tourbillion, the axil that increases accuracy and creates balance.
People make personal connections with watches that few other products can match. We use clocks every single day. They are functional, can make a fashion statement, and often have an emotional value that draws in their owners. Those elements combined are what make wearing a watch such a pleasure.
Yet, watches are collector items and are great for investment. Watch investment is not restricted to luxury brands because the best watches to invest in are those you love.
Multiple Rings
Rings are an excellent addition to a gentleman’s wardrobe. Any high-quality gem or jewellery can be worn and used frequently without degrading its value. This means that you need to look for long-lasting and durable pieces. There has generally been a good market for anything that can wrap around your finger, especially if the ring has a luxury stone as its aesthetic.
For example, once upon a time, a signet ring was the quintessential gentleman’s ring, and it had great importance in terms of society, culture, and even in business and politics. Today, the signet ring has lost quite a bit of its lustre and sometimes, it’s handed down as a family heirloom. So, invest in something like the signet ring, which could be the start of your legacy.
Seal The Deal With Sunglasses
When you place a perfectly shaped pair of sunglasses on, look for premium materials like polarised glass, Italian acetate or handmade construction. You will feel the weight of the masterpiece rest on your nose when you find the pair for you.
Yes, It Extends To Weekend Bags
A well-made, stylish weekend bag is a must for every modern gentleman. From the casual stylings of Filson to the unadulterated luxury of Louis Vuitton, cut through your Tom Ford cologne with a large leather duffle bag that will carry you through your travels.
Accessories Like A Pair Of Cufflinks
Why invest in a pair of cufflinks? It’s one of those few jewellery items for men apart from a ring that looks very dapper, elegant and classy. Most modern cufflinks these days are made by true artisans and craftsmen that put all their knowledge together to form a variety of literal gems. From precious metal, sterling silver to pure gold, cufflinks like Gucci’s cut-out double Gs or the sharp-edged, minimalist Alice Made These brands will last a lifetime.
Investing in Cartier, Van Cleef, or Tiffany means paying for the brand name and experience. So a pair of good-quality cufflinks might set you back around $2245 a couple.
