What is a suit without a tie? Just a shirt and pants – importance of accessories for special occasions

As you may have discovered from the title, men’s accessories are vital for any formal event. This does not mean belts nor rings, but you sure can wear them; this really means a tie or bow tie, pocket square, lapel pin, and/or tie bar. These may sound unnecessary, but once you start to accessorize, you won’t be able to stop. For weddings, graduations, and other joyous occasions, simply wearing a shirt and pants would not do them justice. Let’s walk you through how some of these men’s accessories can truly transform your shirt and pants into an outfit. 

What are Men’s Accessories?

First, let’s start with ties and bow ties. Solid satin ties and bow ties will give you the sophistication and touch of elegance you need to complete an outfit for a very special occasion. These pieces effortlessly dress up outfits for events. They even act as statement pieces or give that pop of color to outfits, especially bowties. If you're just wearing a simple suit or shirt, your neckwear can take center stage. CON.STRUCT's Ceremony Collection offers 18 great colors in stain resistant ties and bow ties to choose from!

Did you think that a tie would be the only necessary accessory? Well, if you did, that’s a normal feeling, but it is important to note how additional men’s accessories can only complement formal outfits. One of these accessories is a pocket square.  If you’re going to a special event, you will probably wear a nice jacket or blazer, which has a pocket on the left side.  Go the extra mile and fill it with a satin pocket square!  A white pocket square is a classic piece that will go with anything! It can match to any colored shirt, pants, jacket, or tie. Another thing to note is that the way you fold your pocket square allows for creativity and uniqueness. You can opt for a more conservative or flamboyant fold that makes you stand out.

Now, go have some fun and find some accessories that suit you as well as your suit. Other accessories like lapel pins and tie bars, can only further elevate your outfit. One or more accessories will definitely help to dress up your fit. With formal men’s accessories, you will never feel too underdressed, and you will always be wearing an outfit, not just a shirt and pants.
