Whatever your style, accessories can make or break a look. Well-chosen pieces can elevate an outfit from pedestrian to something unique and individual to you.
Minimalist accessories never fail, and can add a subtle touch of elegance to workwear, smart casual or weekend looks. From bags to wallets, sunglasses to watches, these are the men's minimal accessories you need and the brands that do them best.
Aether
Sunglasses are at their best when the designs are pared back and simple, and cutting-edge audio eyewear label Aether knows this well. The brand’s distinctively modern frames all feature a lack of branding or extraneous detailing, while offering a next-level aural experience, allowing users to tune into podcasts and music or make calls. Carl Zeiss lenses and Mazzucchelli 1849 acetate frames enhance the luxury feel.
Mismo
A minimally styled backpack could be the most versatile of all bag styles, and as such wears well with a range of looks. Mismo's bags and accessories are well known for their hard-wearing construction and use of functional pocketing, but it’s the characteristically Scandinavian pared back designs that have us hooked. Look out for the brand's stylish yet functional Italian canvas backpack styles, which you'll want to take with you everywhere – from work to a weekend escape.
Escuyer
Everything Escuyer creates, whether it's a leather cardholder or pair of woollen socks, is lovingly crafted to stand the test of time, by using the highest quality materials and enlisting the finest artisans. Expect clean silhouettes, smart colour combinations and timeless designs.
Carl Friedrik
A well-made leather bag can last a lifetime, and that's exactly the case with Carl Friedrik's bags. Working with naturally tanned leathers and the finest craftspeople, the brand produces premium leather briefcases, bags, wallets and cardholders without ever compromising on quality and without the traditional retail mark-up.
