Every season, there’s always a pair of sunglasses out there that seems like it’s created for you. This autumn, choose polygons. Whether square or hexagonal, it’s an easy way to stand out amongst the rest. To match all the four seasons, we recommend light brown or green and golden tortoise shell shades.

Beanie season is upon us! Ditch your usual hats and opt for the functional winter must-have that goes with more looks than you’d think.

Although not all beanies are created equal, these will make you both the coolest and coziest guy in the room.

For an accessory investment that add a touch of elegance to just about any outfit, look no further than these necklaces. Every man should own at least one necklace in his well-curated closet. Look for something that treads a careful length balance which just peeps up above the top button of a spread-collar shirt. Because sometimes, it’s the small things that matter.
