(SPOT.ph) Before you ask, gentlemen: yes, of course guys can rock accessories! Whether you’re a T-shirt-and-jeans-everyday kind of guy or you’re the type to experiment with your wardrobe choices, it never hurts to add some embellishments to your look so your own unique personality and style can shine through. Trust us when we say it’s the small details that make all the difference.
Here are 10 cool accessories every dude should give a try:
Gunnar (P950) from Rastaclat
Braided bracelets like this one from Rastaclat are a good starting point if you’re not ready to wear metal bands or chunky chains just yet. It’ll add a laid-back surfer vibe to your outfit—perfect to pair with hawaiian shirts or your fave graphic tee. We’re currently eyeing this sienna shade, which would easily go with your everyday outfits, but they make a ton of other colors and patterns, too! You might want to start collecting these.
Available online.
Cohen (packages starts at P1,999) from Sunnies Specs
While prescription glasses serve an obvious purpose, it would be a waste to not use yours as a stylish accessory, too—finding a good pair to frame your face will make you look much more put-together. Try this pair from Sunnies Specs—the industrial-style, wire-thin frames will give any look a more dashing touch. Plus, the rounded square frame will work for a variety of face shapes.

Navy Blue Bandana (P395) from Pull&Bear
A printed bandana will give you '90s-hip-hop-slash-motorcycle-fashion feels—think Justin Timberlake during his *NSYNC days. Try the look with this one from Pull&Bear. You can amp it up even more with a leather jacket or some chunky combat boots.

3-Pack Necklaces (P499) from H&M
A gold chain is the easiest accessory if you’re looking to give your outfit some attitude. This set from H&M includes three of them. Pile them all on or mix and match depending on how much bling you feel like rocking. Wear them with a gold watch, too, for a coordinated look.

Set of Silver Metal Rings (P695) from Bershka
Channel '90s grunge (or Harry Styles' rebellious rockstar style) with this silver ring set from Bershka. If you’re new to wearing rings, you can start out with just one first and see how you like it, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself piling more and more on.

Classic Black Sheffield (P12,300) from Daniel Wellington
Everyone needs a good watch and for most gentlemen, it’s the most indispensable of accessories. We recommend investing in one that you can use every day and for any look or occasion. This timepiece from Daniel Wellington might be a good option—its classic-meets-modern style says dapper, but not stuffy thanks to that sleek leather strap and minimalist black face.

Suede Belt (P1,995) from Zara
Your more daring friends might be sporting statement belts with huge gold buckles, but we understand if you’re not quite willing to take that risk just yet. This suede, navy blue belt from Zara is practical enough to pair with a variety of outfits, but will still catch people’s attention and make you look like you really put thought into your outfit.

Adicolor Bucket Hat (P1,300) from Adidas
Caps are probably already part of your regular outfit rotation, especially if you’re usually heading out for sports or outdoor activities. Add some variety to your line of OOTDs with other styles like bucket hats, which are just as practical, versatile, and stylish. Opt for a simple design like the one on this topper from Adidas, which you can pair with any outfit. Pro tip: You can also use hats to hide a bad hair day—we know you have them, too.

Dylan Everyday Carry Clutch (P4,300) from The School of Satchel
