Knowing what men's accessories to wear is confusing due to the new normal.

Create a new look that may, or may not, remain in the next normal

Did that confuse you? Everyone is confused. The businessman has been doing business at home, the sportsman has just been at home, the chef has been cooking at home, and the essential workers, thank you, have been living away from home. Everyone looks and feels different, while personal fashion trends for work and play differ.

With so many hours spent alone, there is a focus on personal style. Normal in this last year of change has manifested in fewer shaves, more facial hair, fewer haircuts (or terrible haircuts <you know who you are!>), less exercise, and more meals.

The new Normal of Men's Fashion Accessories?

Every man is living on their own island. Working at home is great; right? (or is it?) No more full outfits or uncomfortable shoes. There is no big rush to get out the door. There's less spending on meals and snacks. Less spending on gas, less time in traffic, and more time wondering if you need to color-coordinate your mask.

The pandemic has changed the way we dress to do business, We have limited personal contact, and often we no longer dress to impress. We video chat meetings and get together with friends. We observe and are observed, from the waist up.

However, change is happening, and every day is changing. Will you rise out of the ashes a Phoenix, or are you stuck in a fashion rut that has become mundane and boring? After all, who is looking? The only competition is who is looking at you in the mirror. Do you know what your style is? Do you want to come out of this lockdown as the same guy or a new and improved one?

How to win with Men's Fashion Accessories in 2023

Men's fashion accessories are inconsistently consistent. What does that mean? Some men's accessories are consistently stable, like watches, rings, belts, glasses, and shoes.

Accessories such as necklaces are trendy and inconsistent. Men still wear them; they are just not as prevalent as when men wore more jewelry, and I dare to say jewelry that was bigger and gaudy. Although men are wearing them, they are not at the top of the accessories trending for men in 2023.
