Men’s accessories tend to be pretty standard over a given number of years. Many of the latest accessories that men use today are in fact based on traditional male accessories like regular wallets, ties, suits etc. Probably, the only difference that sets the old apart from the new is their style, cut, quality and prints. But these too can make a big difference in a man’s appearance.
Below we look at 10 of the most popular men’s fashion accessories in 2013.
Falkesocks
Fashion gurus are stating that trouser legs for men will remain at ankle height for another good season and so socks need to be good enough to show. Any old pair is not going to cut it. Today, the latest falkesocks are luxurious, with a bold splash of color which looks great when you’re completely suited and booted. The natural fibers are what make them fun to wear since they allow your feet to breathe.
The latest cufflinks
When a man wears well designed French cuffs it shows his dedication to a sartorial ideal. That said cufflinks add a sort of endless way for office going processional men to add a touch of personality to their dress. Many times a glimpse at these often whimsical looking accessories can help add a smile during a boring Monday finance meeting.
The pocket square
There was a time when everything men wore was inspired by Mad Men. Now even though things have calmed down quite a bit, adding a bit of retro to your costume is certainly a good idea. The pocket square is one example of this type of retro touch which can complete a good summer suit. The blue is certainly in for this season making the square a perfect accessory.

A high quality luggage tag
Many people find that the charm of travelling internationally has been rudely broken by stringent security in airports around the world.
