Essential Men’s Winter Accessories

So you’ve mastered your core outfit? You’ve got the basics down but there’s just something missing–the creative number 10 in your football team, the intricate melody in your pop song, the secret spice that brings the whole meal together. Accessories can turn a solid men’s winter outfit into a hall-of-famer, so let’s learn how to accessorise together, shall we?

Why accessories are essential in winter

Accessories are particularly important in winter because, in short, it’s cold. Many men’s accessories are items designed to keep you a little bit warmer whilst giving your fit a detailed boost.

Stay warm and stylish

Hats, scarves, and a good thick pair of socks are your winter fundamental accessories. Scroll down just a short way for a selection of Perci’s favourites. And remember: winter accessories are there to serve a dual purpose–to keep you warm, and to elevate any winter outfit you cobble together.

5 accessories every man needs for winter

There are five accessories that we should all be making sure are ready to go in our winter wardrobe rotation. Nail these five and you’re going to be set until the sun gets its act together again.

1. Scarves

A good thick scarf is vital for any winter fit. Not only does it keep your neck from turning into a glorified Fruit Pastilles ice lolly, it’ll add flow and panache to any winter fit you can think of. For a smart winterfit, go for a mohair Static Scarf, available in Oak or Ecru. For an everyday look when you’re cutting about town, a Jacquard Football Scarf is your friend.

2. Shoes

For a sophisticated winter look that will also help you to avoid doing yourself a mischief on the slippery sleat-filled streets of the bleak midwinter, you’d be wise to get yourself a proper pair of shoes. Something like these men’s Solovair Hi-shine Gibson Shoes will see you right. If you’re worried about the elements and ruining the shine, there’s also a Matte version.

3. Hats

When Jack Frost is doing his best to go full Mike Tyson on your ears, you’d do well to have a beanie at hand. Not only will it keep your noggin toasty, it’ll round off just about any fit nicely. Alternatively, if the sky is clear and the sun is tracing its low arc across the sky, a baseball cap will help to shield your retinas from harm.

As well as being a staple of Christmas Day gift unwrapping, a good, thick pair of socks are a necessity for men in the winter. If you’re going to be wearing them, you might as well be wearing a proper pair of socks. These Cashmere Ribbed Socks are pretty much as good as it gets.

Styling tips for winter accessories

There’s an art to matching winter accessories with your outfit. A random mish-mash of accessories will look like a random mish-mash of accessories. There are a few things to take into account.

Matching accessories with outerwear

The best way to assure your accessories are complimenting your outfit is to match them with your outerwear. A long coat will go perfectly with a smart scarf and a smart pair of shoes or boots. A chunky jumper and scarf combo is a good match for a beanie. Consider your silhouette, the textures in play, and the feel of the outfit, and welcome winter with a warm hug.
