Accessories are the unsung heroes of style. You might have a great wardrobe, but the right add-ons are what elevate an outfit from “just decent” to “memorable.” For Indian men, accessories must balance aesthetics, utility, and affordability. Here are seven accessories every man should consider—and some real product suggestions to help you choose well.
1. The Classic Watch
A watch is more than just a timepiece—it’s a statement. If you’re attending office meetings, wedding functions, or casual outings, having at least one reliable watch that works with both formal and casual looks is essential. Leather strap watches offer timeless appeal, while metal or fabric straps deliver variety.
- Check out Amazon’s “Classy Watches for Men” selection, where you can find many analog and hybrid styles.
- Myntra also has a strong range of leather strap watches under its “leather watches” section which are trending for both quality and deals.
Product suggestions to consider:
- Puma Core Wallet Amazon, Myntra– While it’s technically a wallet, pairing it with a watch gives that well-put-together look.
- WildHorn Leather Bi‑Fold Wallet Gift Set
- GUSTAVE Vintage PU Leather Belt
2. Sunglasses That Actually Fit Your Face
India offers bright sunlight almost year-round. A sunglasses pair that fits right protects your eyes and instantly boosts your style. Go for frame shapes that match your face (round, square, aviator are popular), UV protection, and glare resistance.
Look for deals on Amazon under “sunglasses for men” and on Myntra during seasonal sales. Brands like Fastrack, Titan, and even some private label Myntra brands offer very good quality for price.
3. Reliable Belts
Belts do more than keep your trousers up. They help balance proportions, add polish, and tie your look together—especially matching with your shoes. A decent formal leather belt and a casual woven or canvas belt can serve you across various situations.
- Amazon has a variety of belts; e.g. vintage or styled belts for under ₹1,500.
- Myntra often bundles belts with watches in combo sets.
Product Idea:
-
GUSTAVE Vintage PU Leather Belt – This one’s great for both casual jeans or semi-formal trousers.
4. Wallet: Slim & Smart
Bulky wallets are passé. The modern preferred choice is slim, efficient, and secure. You want something that holds essentials—cards, ID, maybe some cash—without bulging pockets.
- Amazon carries many RFID card holders and slim wallets.
- Myntra’s “wallets & belts” category often features combo offers and brand discounts.
Product Suggestion:
- URBAN FOREST Stag Leather Wallet — good design + functionality.
- WildHorn Leather Wallet, Keychain & Pen Combo — ideal if you want something ready for gifting.
5. Bags: Function Meets Fashion
Depending on your daily schedule, you might need different bags: everyday backpack, work messenger or laptop bag, compact sling, or even a travel duffle. Go for durability (good zippers, strong material), water-resistance if possible, and versatility so you can wear it across many outfits.
Browse Amazon’s messenger/backpack categories or check Myntra’s “bags & backpacks” for good offers, especially during sales. While I didn’t pick specific products here, keep your eye out when the Super Saving Days or Big Billion-Day sales come up.
6. Minimal Jewelry & Accessories
You don’t need gold chains or flashy rings to add character. Simple items like a metal or leather bracelet, a ring, or a minimalist chain can subtly enhance your look. Neck pieces that aren’t loud, cuff links if you wear formal shirts, or even a tasteful lapel pin make the difference.
Also consider small grooming accessories that count in this category: e.g., a decent watch cleaning kit, leather bracelet, or even a stylish keychain.
7. Grooming & Lifestyle Essentials
Accessories aren’t always external. Things like a good fragrance, well-maintained hair tools (trimmer, beard comb), clean shoes, and even tech accessories (smartwatch, earphones) fall into this accessory ecosystem. In India’s climate, skin protection (sunscreen), and clean shoes matter more than you think.

Styling, Care & Shopping Tips
- Mix & Match: It’s best to invest in accessories that go with many outfits. Neutral belts, classic watches, and simple bags usually work across looks.
- Clean & Maintain: A leather belt or wallet looks great only if well-kept. Use cloth cleaners, avoid moisture, and store nicely.
- Sales & Deals: Watch out for major sales—Myntra Super Saving Days, Amazon Festive Sales—they often drop accessory pricing significantly.
- Authenticity & Quality: For watches and sunglasses, check whether sellers are trustworthy; see product reviews. Even small purchases lose their charm if product quality is bad.
The right accessories aren’t about having many—they’re about having the right ones. A few well-chosen pieces like a classic watch, slim wallet, reliable belt, good sunglasses, and a versatile bag can make your whole wardrobe more stylish, functional, and confident.
Keep these seven essentials in mind as foundation items. Over time, add to them as needed, based on your lifestyle, style preferences, and budget. Fashion Selected will keep curating deals, accessories, and style-tips so you can build your collection smartly.
