Style is something men are taking seriously, thanks in no small part to style icons such as rapper Tinie Tempah (whose Instagram fashion photos are as famous as his thought-provoking lyrics), Matthew Zorpas (founder of The Gentleman Blogger, a website that combines travel and fashion to perfection), and Theophilus London (a Brooklyn rapper who collaborates with Outkast's Big Boi and Solange Knowles). These sartorial stylists are expanding the boundaries of men's fashion beyond a well-tailored suit, a designer watch, and a dapper hat. They are demonstrating that you do not need a large budget to wear your idea of art; all you need are a few accessories to transform a boring outfit into a stunning one.

The Minor Details that Make a Man
Brian Sacawa, the founder of He Spoke Style, is renowned for adorning formal attire with vibrant accessories. Think about a grey Italian suit with an ashes-of-roses shirt and a polka-dotted burgundy silk scarf.
The Instagram page of Sacawa demonstrates that style extends beyond clothing to include small accessories that no longer feature plain, boring designs. Take pens, for example. Trendy men like high-end brands, as well as notebooks and diaries that are bound in leather.
Even essential tools such as popular Swiss army knives are no longer necessary in their simplistic style. Many are jazzed up with creative prints, bold colours, or geometric designs, which make for a great conversation piece or an ideal present for fashionable men who have everything.

Accessories with bold prints
Women and men alike are using prints in a far more creative manner, foregoing old-style rules in favour of new combinations (who said different types of plaid didn't match, or that you couldn't mix polka dots with stripes?).
Rules regarding complementary and contrasting colours have also been thrown out the window, with ties, scarves,s or men’s handkerchiefs ostensibly ‘clashing’ (but actually styling up) otherwise traditional looks.
Ways to play with prints include pairing two different prints with the same base colour or prints that differ in scale.
Finally, many bloggers are treating stripes like neutral colours, pairing them up with complex prints.
Jewellery as the Final Touch
Men’s rings and bracelets have made a huge comeback, with pieces made of inexpensive noble materials and more affordable metals, rope, or leather. So, he will probably be wearing a nice suit with a simple black leather bracelet and halo cufflinks with tiny tufts of fur, crystals, or designs of watch movements.
Men’s fashion in the new millennium is right on par with that of women, with looks that are as creative, daring, and new as one’s imagination can conjure up. Men who would love to sport a more personal look can start out with accessories and work their way up to their own version of a groundbreaking look.
