Suit Accessories for Men
The right suit accessories turn a good suit into a memorable outfit, and choosing them well is just as important as choosing the suit itself. Whether you wear a bespoke suit to the office, a wedding, or a formal evening event, a well chosen tie or a sharp pair of sunglasses adds the finishing touch that separates a put together look from an ordinary one. This collection brings together handmade accessories designed to complement your made to measure suit, giving you pieces that feel considered rather than an afterthought.
What Are Suit Accessories?
These pieces are the small details that complete a tailored look. For men, this typically includes ties, pocket squares, cufflinks, belts, and sunglasses, each chosen to match the tone and formality of the suit being worn. Some accessories are practical, like a belt that keeps trousers fitted through the day. Others are purely about style, like a silk tie chosen to bring color and texture to an otherwise neutral outfit.
At Germain Tailors, our accessories for suit wearers focus on two essentials: handmade silk ties and sunglasses, both crafted to pair naturally with a bespoke suit rather than compete with it. We built this collection around pieces that hold up to the same standards of construction as our tailoring, so nothing in your outfit feels like an afterthought.
Why Suit Accessories Matter
These details are not an afterthought, even though they are often the last thing added to an outfit. They signal attention to detail and personal style, and they help a suit feel intentional rather than generic. A suit alone communicates that you have made an effort to dress well; the accessories around it communicate how much care went into the rest of the decision.
Men's suit accessories chosen with care can shift a simple outfit from ordinary to distinctive. A subtle tie pattern, a well matched sunglasses frame, or a pocket square in the right shade all send a signal that the outfit was put together deliberately, not thrown together at the last minute. This is particularly true for tailored menswear, where the suit itself is already a considered investment.
Elevating Your Made to Measure Suit
A made to measure suit is built around your body and your preferences, so its accessories deserve the same consideration. A hand rolled silk tie or a well cut pair of sunglasses reflects the same craftsmanship that goes into the suit itself, reinforcing a cohesive, deliberate look from head to toe. When every piece of an outfit is chosen with intention, the overall impression is far stronger than any single item on its own, and it is often these small details that people remember most about a well dressed man. This same principle applies whether you are dressing for a routine work day or a milestone event, since consistency across every layer of an outfit is what ultimately reads as intentional style rather than coincidence.
When to Wear These Accessories
These pieces serve different purposes depending on the occasion, and knowing when to dress them up or keep them simple helps you avoid looking either underdressed or overdone. The same tie that works perfectly at a Monday morning meeting might feel out of place at a black tie wedding, and vice versa, which is why it helps to think about the setting before reaching for any single piece.
Business and Everyday Wear
For daily office wear, suit accessories men choose should stay understated. A solid or subtly patterned silk tie in navy, burgundy, or grey works with most business suits without drawing too much attention. The goal during the work week is consistency and polish, not statement pieces that pull focus away from the rest of the outfit. A pair of neutral sunglasses can carry the same understated approach outside the office, adding polish on the commute without feeling out of place at a desk.
Weddings and Formal Events
Formal occasions call for accessories for a suit that carry more presence. Richer colors, jacquard weaves, and polished sunglasses suit weddings, galas, and evening events where the suit is meant to stand out rather than simply blend into a room full of similar outfits. This is also where personal style has the most room to show, since formal dress codes still allow for individual choices in tie color and texture, letting a groom or guest express a bit of personality within a traditional setting.
How to Choose the Right Accessories
Choosing pieces that you will actually wear more than once comes down to matching color, texture, and formality to the suit itself, rather than buying items that only work with one single outfit.
A few general guidelines make this easier:
- Navy suits pair well with burgundy, deep red, or grenadine weave ties, and suit both business settings and weddings.
- Charcoal grey suits look sharp with silver, blue, or muted jacquard ties, making them a strong choice for business meetings and formal events alike.
- Black suits call for solid black or deep jewel tone ties, which suit black tie occasions and evening events best.
- Neutral toned sunglasses, such as brown or blue frames, tend to complement most suit colors without competing with the tie.
These pairings are not strict rules, but they offer a reliable starting point for anyone unsure where to begin when building out their collection, and they can always be adjusted once you have a better sense of your own personal style.
Matching Accessories to Your Bespoke Suit
Since a bespoke suit is cut to your exact measurements, its accessories should feel equally considered. Grenadine silk ties pair especially well with tailored wool suits, giving texture without competing with the fabric, while a neutral pair of sunglasses complements almost any suit color. If you also wear a waistcoat, suit vest accessories like a simple tie or subtle pocket square help keep the layered look clean rather than cluttered, since a vest already adds visual weight to the outfit and does not need to compete with a busy pattern elsewhere.
Our Suit Accessories Collection
Every piece in this collection is selected to work with tailored menswear rather than fast fashion basics, giving you mens suit accessories built to last for years rather than replaced each season.
Handmade Silk Ties
Our silk tie collection includes grenadine and jacquard weaves in shades from deep red to grey blue, each made from genuine silk for a refined finish suited to both office and formal wear. Every tie is constructed with the same attention to detail as our made to measure suits, so the finished knot holds its shape and the fabric drapes properly rather than looking flat or stiff.
Sunglasses
Our sunglasses collection rounds out the accessories lineup with classic frames in brown, blue, and bi-color finishes, built to pair naturally with tailored suits. These frames are designed to be versatile enough for daily wear while still looking sharp enough for more formal settings, whether that means a client meeting or a wedding held outdoors.
Best-Selling Suit Accessories
Among our most requested pieces are the Brown Grenadine Silk Tie for its versatile everyday tone, the Grey-Blue Jacquard Grenadine Silk Tie for business and formal settings, and the Blue Sunglasses for a polished finishing touch. Each of these has become a repeat favorite among customers building a wardrobe of men suit accessories that move easily between the office and special occasions without needing a separate set for each.
