When it comes to style, the details matter. A sharp suit or tailored jacket makes a strong statement—but the right accessories take it further. Whether it’s a sleek belt, a patterned pocket square, or a classic watch, small additions can transform your entire look.

At Burton Men’s, we believe great style is built from the ground up—with everyday pieces that make lasting impressions. Here's a guide to the simple, impactful accessories every man should have in his rotation.

1. The Leather Belt: A Classic Foundation

It may seem basic, but a quality leather belt can subtly enhance your outfit’s polish. Choose one that complements your shoes and suits, with minimal hardware and clean stitching.

Essentials to Own:

• Black leather belt with silver buckle (for formal wear)

• Brown leather belt with brass or matte finish (for smart-casual)

• Woven or suede belt (for relaxed weekend looks)

Style Tip: Match the tone of your belt with your shoes for a cohesive finish.

2. The Pocket Square: Small Piece, Big Statement

The easiest way to inject color, pattern, or personality into a blazer or suit jacket. Pocket squares are low-effort, high-style accessories that show attention to detail.

Ways to Wear It:

• Flat fold for formal events

• Puff or crown fold for smart-casual flair

• Match with your tie, or contrast for added interest

Burton’s Pick: A navy blazer with a bold check pocket square—subtle but standout.

3. The Watch: Your Signature Piece

Your wristwear says more about you than you think. A clean, minimalist watch brings structure to your look and signals timeless taste.

Styles to Consider:

• Leather strap watch for work and formalwear

• Steel bracelet watch for versatility

• Smart hybrid watch for tech and style in one

Pro Tip: Invest in one high-quality timepiece and wear it with confidence—it never goes out of style.

4. Statement Socks: Hidden Personality

Gone are the days of plain black socks only. A flash of color or pattern beneath a trouser cuff adds personality and dimension without shouting for attention.

Choose From:

• Bold stripes or dots with neutral suits

• Color-matched socks that echo your tie or pocket square

• Textured knits for autumn/winter outfits

Style Tip: Patterned socks work best when balanced by neutral tailoring.

5. Sunglasses: Form Meets Function

Protecting your eyes while looking sharp? That’s a win-win. A good pair of sunglasses is essential year-round, especially for outdoor meetings or city commuting.

Frame Styles:

• Aviators for bold, structured looks

• Wayfarers for a modern classic touch

• Round metal frames for a vintage edge

Burton Suggests: Keep a neutral-toned pair with you at all times—it’s a small touch that adds serious cool factor.

6. The Everyday Bag: Practical with Purpose

Ditch the overstuffed backpack or plastic carrier and upgrade to a sleek, structured bag that complements your look.

Top Options:

• Leather briefcase for office professionals

• Canvas tote or satchel for casual days

• Minimal backpack for urban commutes

Details Matter: Go for simple zippers, neutral colors, and sturdy handles for long-term use.
