1. Tie - CRAVAT

If the tie is not the first accessory you name, that would be an oversight, because ties are no longer unfamiliar to anyone who wears a suit. So “bring” a tie home to your accessory drawer.

When choosing a tie, match ties to the suits you already own. Otherwise you may buy a beautiful tie whose color does not go with your suit and shirt, which is wasteful and costs you time because you will not know how to pair it. One suggestion: learn many tying styles, so that even a single tie can look more varied.

2. LAPEL PIN


The lapel pin is called a Brooch or Lapel pin in English. Dating from the 1930s, this is when the pin began, as the upper class wore formal, refined suits with a pin to distinguish their organization from others. At parties and conferences, people then swapped the fresh flower worn on the chest for special pin designs. Gradually, this stylization unintentionally became a fashion detail that everyone finds interesting.

Pins were originally worn on the chest pocket on the left side of the jacket, on the same side as the heart. People expressed their soul where the heartbeat of pride is, and their loyalty to an organization and dedication to a group. Wearing a pin on the left pocket was then a commitment and an affirmation of loyalty to the organization. Most pins at that time were made of metal or plastic... Depending on what suits the occasion, wearing a lapel pin has had its own logic, both then and now.

4. BOW TIE


Bow ties usually suit a groom's suit and important events that call for more elaborate attire. A bow tie goes with outfits such as the tuxedo.

5. CUFFLINKS - CUFFLINK


Cufflinks are used to fasten the cuffs of shirts that have no buttons, only two buttonholes. They work like a button at the cuff, but they are not sewn onto the sleeve like a button; they can be taken off.
