4 Must-Have Men’s Accessories for the Month Ahead

We could go on and on about how much we dig accessories, but really, doesn’t everyone? With so many new brands hitting the scene every month, it can be difficult to pick the best of the best from the roster of young talent. But these four men’s accessories stand out above the rest. After taking one look, you won’t want to live without them.

Anni Shades Wooden Sunglasses
Tons of accessories brands are jumping on the wooden train, but we think Anni Shades does it best. And with oxblood as the color for fall, how could we not pine (get it?!) for the Kohen frames in deep blood red wood?

Sticks & Stones Cufflinks
And speaking of wood, we can’t get enough of Portland brand Sticks & Stones’ cool timber accessories. But the Elk Antler cufflinks, made with maple wood, elk antler and bronze, are hunter hits for this season.

Steve Mono Bag
Browsing all of the incredible young designers on Anthem Wares, it’s difficult to pick a favorite. But Steve Mono’s bags, handcrafted from vegetable-tanned leathers and canvas, are essential for the ultimate modern gentleman. The beautiful blue and green Oscar Mix Briefcase is perfection.

Although New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore have collaborated numerous times throughout the year, their latest drop takes their partnership to another level.

However, as with their previous New Balance drop, Aimé Leon Dore takes a unique approach with this new release. Despite the unexpected drop, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance’s sneakers are still as charming and luxurious as always.

There are some fall styles that we love. And then there are some fall styles that we actually start begging the nice weather to go away simply so we can begin wearing them. Cardigans may just be one of those styles. Sure, there are many sweaters in your wardrobe that you should have, and most of them are even competitive with the classic aesthetic of the cardigan. But truly ... there is nothing better than coming home after a long day of work, slipping off the work wear, pouring yourself a nice Old Fashioned, and slipping into your cozy cardigan for a book or a game. Just ask Mr. Rogers. Nobody did men's cardigans better.

Now, if you have been reading here at The Manual for any amount of time, you know that not any cardigan will do; there are some that stand above the rest.
