Accessories: no decent outfit is complete without them. They are what béarnaise sauce is to steak, butter to bread, and olive to a martini. You get the idea.
But sometimes it can be challenging to know just how good an investment any of these stylistic accouterments might turn out to be (we’re looking at you, piano key tie and bottle opener belt buckle).
Fortunately, history has taken some of the trial and error out of the process; because if it looked good 50 years ago, and it looks good now, chances are it’ll look good for 50 more. These are the men’s accessories that will never go out of style.
Classic Sunglasses

It’s telling that the most popular styles have changed little over the decades. Aviators, Wayfarers and Clubmasters are all time-honored staples that suit different face shapes. While twists on these stalwarts are more than welcome, the overwhelming sentiment is that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Seeing as a decent pair of sunglasses will stick around for life, don’t be afraid to make them an investment piece. Just be sure to maximize longevity by keeping everything classic and understated with either black or tortoiseshell frames and brown, black, or dark green lenses.
Leather Billfold Wallet

Paying for a pint is now as easy as the swipe of a smartwatch. So it says something about the billfold wallet that it remains a stylish accessory even today.
Practical, molded to the contours of its contents and aged to perfection over time, a leather wallet is an accomplice that will do the business long after the business has stopped accepting cash.
It’s for this reason that many men choose to have their note carriers embossed with their initials; a move that sets out intentions to keep it for life, even if what’s inside doesn’t make it to the end of the month.
Stainless Steel Watch

The material that has its roots in the gun making is as flattering as it is durable. It’s also equally at home with a suit and ties as it is a T-shirt and chinos combination.
Even half a century from now, when there’s a clock face embedded into contact lenses and a calendar built into most retinas, truly stylish men will still look to their steeled wrist when someone asks for the time.
Leather Belt

A good belt does more than simply hold your trousers up – it also holds a look together. Whether a much-needed divide for tall men between the top and bottom halves on an outfit or a subtle complement to leather Derbies, a decent cowhide belt will endure long after other accessories have gone out of style.
Choose brown, black or (better yet) one of each, and always opt for the best you can afford. This thing will be holstering your trousers for many years to come, and you wouldn’t want to be unseated by a crumbling imitation number. Subtle, classic buckles in unprocessed metallic tones will also stand you in good stead.
White Pocket Square

Any formal ensemble can be lifted by the accessory that has served the suited since around the 1920s. From Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart to Tom Ford and Daniel Craig, the white pocket square is an accessory for the ages (and all ages).
Whatever mood or message you wish to convey, there’s likely to be a pattern or print to do so. However, what an unfussy white version delivers is a quiet confidence that speaks volumes at any event, from black tie dos to weddings.
Leather Holdall

Is there any name in the world of fashion more winning than ‘the weekender?’ A bag reserved for the best time of the week, a friendly porter for an adventure, and the container of the wardrobe’s greatest hits. The weekend bag – or leather holdall – is an enduring favorite of the menswear arsenal.
As with most leather accessories, favors simple black or brown (or, in defiance of the rules, a mixture of the two), or a faded olive shade for a more contemporary take.
As well as colorways, look to experiment with texture. Supple, smooth calfskin is a sleek choice, while a fuller, more tactile pebble grain lends a rugged feel to jetting off for two days on the Amalfi Coast.
Baseball Cap

The specifics here are up to the individual wearer. Bright colors – especially once sun-faded – can look just as pleasing as muted tones, and a bit of subtle embroidery or branding is just as winning as a pared-back, no-logo design.
