Men’s Styling Q&A - Answering Your Most Asked Fashion Questions
We’re back with another round of Ask Our Stylist, where we answer your most asked fashion questions from our Instagram story @astylesetman. We have a lot to cover this week from accessories, summer trends, and more. So let’s get into it—see our men’s style advice below!
Q: What Kind Of Accessories Should I Buy?
Most guys overlook accessories, but hats or rings are simple touches that will help complete your looks and set you apart from the rest. The best part is that you probably already have most of the key accessories in your closet; you just need to style them. Easily elevate your outfits by adding sunglasses, color coordinating with a matching hat or shoes, or wearing funky socks. Some guys also use their keys as an accessory by adding them to the belt loop of their pants or shorts.
If you want to invest in some new accessories, try jewelry like chunky rings, silver bands, or chain necklaces. You could also opt for a vintage tote with some cool graphics or logos. Or a belt with a unique buckle or texture is a great statement piece. If you want a classy, timeless accessory, watches are a great addition, and they make your outfits look more expensive (even if the watch is affordable).

Q: What Are Some Timeless Pieces That I Should Invest In?
Fashion trends will always come and go but there are a couple of pieces that will never go out of style. Finding your ideal staple pieces is a great way to start investing in clothes that you can wear all year round. Timeless pieces are important to have because they create the foundation of your outfits.
For casual everyday pieces, pick loose-fitted jeans, solid color t-shirts, baggy sweatshirts, and comfortable sneakers like Adidas or Converse. If you prefer to wear classier pieces, choose tailored trousers, loafers, and button-up or polo shirts. Try styling jeans with a short-sleeve button up, sneakers, and some jewelry for an elevated, timeless look.

Q: What Can I Wear This Summer?
There are a lot of exciting trends this summer in menswear. We’re seeing a trend of outfits that fit the coastal or European vibe. Linen shirts and pants are perfect for the hot weather, and give you that effortless beachy look. Loafers with polo shirts and shorts are another popular combo men are pairing together. Along with loafers, we’re noticing the rise of boat shoes and casual sandals from Birkenstocks or Havaianas.
When styling these pieces together, start with some linen shorts and an oversized button up with some loafers or sandals. Pair them with a hat and sunglasses to elevate the look into a complete summer outfit.
