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.

If luxury neckwear is what you’re looking for, designer Jonathan Meizler has you covered with his grand line title of work. This hand cast, sterling silver taurus head, stitched to Italian cashmere, is one of the coolest neckties we’ve ever seen.

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.

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
