Bright and Bold Accessories for Men

With Father’s Day around the corner, I wanted to devote this fashion post to all the men out there.
Below you’ll find some great accessories to jazz up your wardrobe … they also make gifts too!
Let’s face it fellas: traditional dark suits can often look bland and boring…but they don’t have to anymore!  For men who aren’t comfortable wearing bold-colored shirts or patterned suits (including the classically Southern, seersucker—one of my favorites) there’s another option to spice things up that’s easier than you think. Adding a few fun accessories that are as manly as they are colorful and fun, can add new life to your wardrobe!
Here are some of my favorites … enjoy!!
GET HAPPY WITH HAPPY SOCKS!

Trade out those old black and white dress socks for HAPPY SOCKS!
Happy Socks' vision is simple ... to “turn an everyday accessory into a designed colorful item that also spreads happiness”. How can you not smile looking at these socks?
From stripes, dots, animal print and every pattern in between, these socks are colorful, fun, and a super affordable way for men to show a little personality in their wardrobe!
ROCK OUT WITH ROCK AVENUE BOW TIES

I LOVE this fabulous line of bow ties from former Saints football player Malcom Jenkins! What a great way for a guy to add some personality to any suit or dressy casual outfit. Rock Avenue Bow Ties are made locally here in New Orleans and come in a variety of colors and patterns.
Here’s what Jenkins had to say about his bow ties:
“When I initially began incorporating bow ties into my wardrobe, I did not realize I was entering into an entirely new fashion forward community. As I continued to grow into my own style, bow ties became my centerpiece and I fell in love! The variety of colors, fabrics, prints and silhouettes create a timeless look for anyone. Each bow tie is as unique as the person wearing it, giving you a fresh, custom look each and every time.”
FLOWER POWER!

Who says flowers are just for girls? These floral lapel pins from Hook and Albert add a perfect pop of color to any man’s suit! Available in an array of colors and patterns, buy a few and keep your summer look fresh and fabulous!
CUFF LINKS FROM REAGAN CHARLESTON DESIGN

What do tigers and Medusa have in common? They are great cuff links from the fabulous and talented designer, Reagan Charleston! Treat yourself by adding a unique and chic touch to your sleeve with the sterling silver Tiger Head cuff link (also available in solid gold) or the sterling silver Medusa cuff link. These high-quality pieces created by Louisiana designer and my friend, Reagan Charleston, are full of detail and plenty of personality. 
**Ladies, these cuff links make a great gift for the man in your life!
