Anyone in a well-fitted suit can become an instant swagger. How about adding some suit accessories to take your suit to a whole new level? Suit accessories add personality, break the monotony, and elevate your style, while still conforming to the occasion’s formal dress code. Here are our 7 recommended accessories that go perfectly well with suits. As the wise Barney Stinson said in the course of “HIMYM”, “Suit up!” Credits: Tenor 1. NECKTIES: A KEY COMPONENT OF YOUR SUIT Think about color, fabric, width, knot, and dress shirt when you accessorize your suit with a necktie. Think about the color, fabric, width, knot, and dress shirt when you want to accessorize your suit with a necktie. Neckties give you plenty of room to customize and think outside the box when you’re putting your overall suit together. Additionally, the way you adjust your necktie displays how suitable you are for a corresponding event. You don’t want to wear a bowtie when you have meetings with your boss. You might as well bring your future bride while you’re at it too and make your wedding vows! If you don’t know how to tie a necktie, we’ve got you covered with this quick tutorial. A video tutorial on how to tie a necktie. Credits: YouTube. You’re probably wondering about matching your tie’s colors to your suit as well. Smart thinking. Your tie must be darker than your dress shirt. As a pointer from Sikasok, move away from the traditional style and try new colors. Or better yet, go bold and try statement (or funky) ties!  If you’re considering patterns, choose only a piece to have a print on it. If the suit, necktie, and shirt you picked out already have patterns, you’ll look like a mess. That’s a big no-no in fashion! 2. DON’T OVERLOOK POCKET SQUARES  Pocket squares add elegance and character with their prints, fold, and color. You know those old movies where men always add a tissue in their front blazer pocket? It’s called a pocket square. And yes, people still like to wear it as a suit accessory.   If you don’t want your tie to steal the whole show, you can add a pocket square to share the attention. It builds elegance and character to your look with its print, fold, and color. You can choose your pocket square to match your tie’s color. It can also be simple or neutral, such as white. If your pocket square has patterns, select a single color and let it be your shirt’s main color. Socks can also be an option. Let the socks work with the pocket square’s color or patterns. 3. ADD CUFFLINKS FOR A REFINED LOOK Add a dash of fun to your dress shirts with French cuffs using cufflinks.  We’ve all seen photos of men pulling their cufflinks and dramatically looking away from the camera. Cliché poses everywhere. But still, cufflinks are another accessory that makes you sharp in a suit.  Like neckties and pocket squares, cufflinks add some touch of fun to your suits. Keep in mind that cufflinks ONLY work on formal occasions and require dress shirts with French cuffs.  4. SOCKS: SHOULD THEY ALWAYS CONFORM? Funky socks are essential suit accessories that help you stand out from other men in suits. Featured: Arrows Sikasoks, part of the Formal Line Collection. Socks are another piece we recommend on our list. Tradition has it that socks should always match your suit trousers’ colors. Let your socks’ height reach midway between your knee and ankle. NEVER wear them up to your ankles when wearing a suit. That’s a big fashion faux pas! If the occasion permits, wear some funky socks and stand out from the dull and formal crowd. Let them match your necktie or have a pattern or design. That’s where our Formal Sikasoks come in: They give you self-expression while simultaneously keeping it formal. 5. WATCHES: HARD-TO-MISS CLASSICS Watches are a classic suit accessory that every man must add to his suits. Watches might be a thing of the past, but it’s always good to wear one with a men’s suit. No need to overpay for a watch. Any affordable one is good as long as it’s formal and appropriate. 6. SUSPENDERS: ANOTHER ACCESSORY NOT TO OVERLOOK Suspenders can add some fun to your suit if you match them to your dress shirt or funky socks. Even though you go right for belts, suspenders can still be a necessary accessory to hold up your pants. We know what you’re thinking, “But blazers cover suspenders. Why is it on this list?” Good question. Even though blazers cover suspenders, they still appear at some point. You’re definitely going to take off your blazer after dancing at weddings or if it’s just too hot. It’s better to be prepared than to have suspenders that don’t go well with your outfit. Imagine the invited guests’ looks on their faces when they see your mismatched get-up. Credits: Tenor Match suspenders to your shirt or your funky socks. Let them be darker than your top. Consider their length, width, and fabric too with the setting. 7. ADD TIE BARS TO KEEP YOUR NECKTIE IN PLACE Tie bars add sophistication and fun to a suit. It keeps your neckties in place while dancing, working, eating, etc. We hate it when neckties get in our way when we work or dance at weddings. Put on a tie bar to pin your necktie to your shirt. Don’t just pin it on the tie. Place it between your dress shirt’s third and fourth buttons. If it’s pinned too high or low, it throws off your whole look. Go for the traditional colors (silver, grey, or gold) and consider the necktie you’re wearing. Be aware of the colors of your suit’s blazer buttons, cufflinks, pocket square, watch, or belt buckle too. If you want something different, get fun-shaped tie bars to make your suit more modern and amusing. For example, get an anchor-shaped anchor. It’s an anchor-edible idea, isn’t it?! Recap on suit accessories that can elevate your suit:

You’re at a shoe store, and you see the most beautiful pair of running shoes in your life. You immediately buy it without giving it another thought. And what do you end up with? Sore feet, blisters, ingrown toenails, discomfort, etc. When you’re out buying new running shoes, make sure to buy a pair that comforts your feet and is made for a particular activity, like running. We give you 5 ways to buy the right running shoes so you can make a wise decision when you’re trying them on at the store. 1. TAKE TIME TO SHOP When shopping for running shoes, take as much time as you need to get a pair. Try on as many shoes as you need to find the ideal one for your foot shape. Don’t rush into buying the first pair you had your eyes on because you need to have them in your closet. Try on multiple shoe sizes that don’t squeeze your toes. Take a walk around the store and see how your feet feel when you’re moving. Make sure that the shoes you’re trying on fit for what you want to do in them. If you’re buying walking shoes and you want to run in them, get ready to welcome your feet with inducing pain. Instead of a regular shoe store, go to a running specialty store where experts can analyze your feet and get the proper running or walking shoes you need. You can also analyze your feet by yourself! Take the wet test and measure your feet at the comfort of your own home to find out your foot shape and shoe size. Before shopping for new running shoes, get familiarized with your foot shape, the shoes needed for it, and your shoe size. Don’t be surprised when your new running shoes start to ache you at first. Your feet are slowly breaking into them, and feeling some pain is normal. If your feet don’t stop hurting till then, consider changing the shoes or visiting a podiatrist. 2. STUDY THE RUNNING SHOES’ ANATOMY Study the running shoes’ anatomy to see if they fit your foot shape.  When you pick up the first shoes you see, take the time to study their components to see if they’re a good fit for your feet. Look at the shoes’ midsoles (the middle cushioning layer for shock absorption), the outsoles (your shoes’ bottoms for grip), and the inners for heel support. If neither of the components works for your foot shape, don’t buy the pair at all. There’s another way to figure out whether or not the footwear is beneficial—the twist test. This test is made to ensure that the shoes you want to buy have the needed support for your feet. The test is self-explanatory: twist your shoes. If your shoes remain stiff, then you’re given the green light to buy them. If they twist, what you have in your hand is a pair that won’t do your feet any favors. Here’s how to do the twist test below: Test running shoes with the twist test to see if they’re good enough to be worn. 3. IGNORE EMINENT BRANDS We get how eminent brands like Nike and Adidas must complete your closet because they hold a big name and design beautiful shoes. Like we’ve mentioned in numerous blog posts, DON’T PRIORITIZE FASHION OVER COMFORT. These brands don’t take the time to think about you and the features needed for your feet—they only care about getting their shoes out there and distract you with their designs. If you want running shoes that can actually aid you in running, prioritize fit over fashion. Make sure that these shoes work with your feet and give you the necessary protection and comfort when you’re in motion. 4. THINK ABOUT YOUR RUNNING STYLE AND WEIGHT Consider buying the proper jogging shoes based on your running style and weight. Another tip to consider when buying new running shoes is your running style and weight. Every runner has a running style of his/her own. In other words, every person runs at a certain speed and distance. If you’re a light runner, get shoes that last up to 805 kilometers (equal to 500 miles). If you’re a heavy runner, your jogging shoes must last up to 482 kilometers (equal to 300 miles). Running shoes’ shape changes based on your weight too. If you’re heavier than the ideal weight, your shoes can break apart. To support your weight, you must get shoes that include extra support. If you’re doubtful about your weight’s effect on your footwear, ask a clerk or shoe technician to see if the shoes you choose work for your build. 5. THINK ABOUT THE WEATHER AND THE PATH The weather and the trail you run on are vital to consider when buying running shoes. Like buying specific shoes for a specific activity, buy a pair that’s designed to handle all kinds of weather conditions and paths. For example, wearing a pair of running shoes in winter without waterproofing will get your shoes and feet very wet. Not only will you get sick, but you’ll slip and your shoes will get damaged and cracked. Check out more running gears that you should wear for specific weather conditions right here. So, how should you buy the right running shoes? 1. Take your time when you’re shopping, 2. Study the running shoes’ anatomy, 3. Don’t buy a pair of Nike shoes just because it’s name is out there, 4. Buy your shoes based on your running style and weight, and 5. Buy the shoes based on weather and path. For more shoe care tips, click here.
