A Man’s Guide to matching leather accessories
For someone that is fashion savvy, matching and styling different accessories and different colors is really simple, but for the rest of us, well, it can get quite tricky sometimes, right?
Mismatching your belt with your watch might not be as obvious as mismatching your socks and trousers, for example. This could be the reason why some people don’t even bother matching these items.
But if you want to dapper up, details make a big difference so get ready to fill up your shopping list and rethink your outfit for the next time you go out.
You should think about matching your accessories especially when it comes to a formal event.
Matching accessories can sound confusing, but this is much easier than matching shirts and tie patterns.
The basic rule is that you have to keep them all in one shade, black with black, grey with grey. Another guideline to consider is whether they have the same finish. Suede goes with suede, but you can easily mix patent leather with a crocodile embossed texture, in the same color, of course.
If you want to mismatch them, try to keep it simple. Take, for example different shades of brown, different shades of grey, of black, blue and so on.
You can try all kinds of combinations when mixing your accessories. Experimenting with colors and patterns will help you sort out your accessories and see if an essential piece is missing from your wardrobe.
A fine detail that might skip your mind is watching out for the metal color in your belt buckle and watch.
Silver goes with silver and it always looks better next to cold shades like grey. As for gold, you should keep an eye on the tone. A rose tone wristwatch, for example, will look bad near a perfectly matched belt that has a yellow gold buckle – so try not to mix them.
