Now when we were not even completely over with our eid celebrations, we began to celebrate the ultimate wedding season. While girls have a number of options when it comes to formal wear, guys usually have to rely on their suits to attend formal events. However, the difficult time comes when you have to accessorize your formal wear. Accessories done right can get you all the attention and make you look dapper.

In this post, we are dishing out tricks to style the two most important men accessories: belts and Cufflinks. Both of these accessories add a finishing touch in your look. Therefore, it is important to know the right rules.

Buckle Belt

To pair up with your formal suit, you need a perfect buckle belt and not the one that is a victim of wear and tear due to daily use. When it comes to the belt and formal suiting, every detail makes a difference. Investing in a fine leather belt is of utmost importance to achieve a polished look.

One trick that can really help guys is to match your belt with your shoes. This is a simple trick that all gentlemen (think George Clooney) stick to and it surely makes a whole lot of difference in your appearance. The idea is to coordinate the color of your belt with your shoes and you don’t necessarily need to search every shop of every mall to match the shades. A lighter or a darker shade of the same color can do the job.

Some tips and tricks to coordinate your belt for your formal style:

• Match the texture of your belt. A leather belt goes well with leather shoes, glossy belts with polished shoes and matte belts with shoes that have a matte polish.
• Coordinate the color of your belt with your shoes or tie.
• Know the difference between casual and formal belts. A typical formal belt is 11/4” inches with a simple and plain buckle.
• Avoid wearing a belt with worn out texture and material when you are dressed up for a formal event.

Cufflinks

A pair of cufflinks adds finesse in your look. This is definitely one accessory that brings a splash of sophistication to your outfit. The best way to wear cufflinks is to tuck them over a classical and crisp white French-cuffed shirt. A pair of cufflinks in silver color and stainless steel design is an ideal option as silver cuffs neither look too gaudy nor make an under-statement. Remember that accessories with subtle appeal always make a greater impact.

The texture and pattern of your cufflinks matter a lot. So, when you are picking up your cufflinks make sure that its pattern and texture compliment the texture and design of your shirt. Also, it is important to have suitable cufflinks for different jackets. If you are wearing a tuxedo, then you must match it to proper tuxedo cufflinks.

Helpful tips and ideas to style cufflinks:

• Wearing a shirt with French cuffs without wearing cufflinks is just like wearing lace shoes without laces, so don’t forget to add your favorite classy cufflinks to your shirt with French cuffs.
• Avoid wearing cufflinks that are made up of plastic. Cufflinks in silver, gold or platinum are ideal options.
• If there is a pattern or a character that is engraved on your cufflinks make sure it is subtle and tasteful.
• Coordinate the color of your cufflinks with the color of your shirt, jacket or trousers.

A personalized touch in your suiting and accessories can make you feel more confident. Belts and cufflinks are the most important accessories that you wear on special occasions. These two power accessories will definitely affect the way you feel and act. Pair of good cuff links and a fine leather belt contribute a lot in creating a complete classical look and well chosen options will set you apart from others.
