Choose shades that are both trendy and perfect for summer

Gone are the days when boring ‘grip’ bags were the extent of men’s accessories. Today there are many brands catering to men’s fashion needs. Movies have influenced this gradual but permanent shift. Here are some must-haves for the fashion-conscious man.

Backpacks: Can fit in all the business needs like laptops, iPads, cell phones etc. Choose a quirky printed backpack — printed maps or camouflage is both trendy and manly.

Duffel bags: Off on an overnight trip? Carry the worn leather duffel bags in tan. They look cool and work well with even the blues. Denim and tan are colour combinations that have been trending for ages.

Wallets & Cases: Spend some time looking for an attention-grabbing wallet. Make a bold choice with a two-tone wallet like black-and-tan orange or a black-and-red.

Belts: The ones with huge buckles are a huge no-no. Pick a reversible black-and-brown belt for work. Choose a more fun canvas and leather one for the weekends.

Socks: Nobody can complete an outfit with the right pair of socks quite like Imran Khan. His penchant for eclectic pairs of socks is well-known in the movie and fashion industry. Wear a bold polka-dotted pair with a casual suit. It makes for a great conversation starter.

Sunglasses: Pick funky ones with blue-green lenses. They’re not just trendy but perfect for summer.

Fashion tip: Keep the accessories subtle and classy. Choose one funky accessory and keep the rest plain to avoid the blingy look.
