A man’s appearance can make or break his first impression, especially when it comes to formal wear. To accentuate your formal wear and overall look, here are a few standard accessories that you must have in your closet.

1. Cufflinks

Silver, titanium, tungsten or gold plated cufflinks can be an ideal match for a business suit of any color. Cufflinks can make a shirt look crisp and well fitted because it grips the wrist area perfectly and gives it a formal touch. You can even use cufflinks when you don’t plan to wear a suit continuously through the day.

2. Trendy ties

A tie is a traditional formal wardrobe accessory for men which can say a lot about a man’s choices and personality. Men have a wide range of ties to choose from – printed, plain, buttoned, slim, satin or casual amongst many others. A tie can instantly give your suit a formal getup and you can play around with different knots for your tie that can make your look interesting.

3. Laptop bag

A suave laptop bag in shades of black, brown or gray is an essential wardrobe accessory for men these days. It is irrelevant whether you really use your laptop bag to carry your laptop or tablet. Even if you need to carry a few files and other papers to office, use a formal looking laptop bag instead of any other plastic folder or ordinary briefcase.

4. Belt

Black or brown belts in matte, shimmer or textured finish made with silver or gold plated buckles can match with most pant types. However a stylish black belt is a safe bet for most work environments.
