A nice suit can be completed with a few accessories like a tie, lapel pin, and watch. These small accessories help to enhance your overall look. Here are some of them: 

Tie

The colour, fabric, knot, and design – everything matters when it comes to a tie. There is nothing better looking than a tie that complements your suit and the occasion.  

Tie clip

It is perhaps one of the tiniest suit accessories but it can add a classic, stylish touch to your formal look.

Tie clips help to secure the tie to the dress shirt. So if you are wearing a vest or a sweater, you would not need to wear one. 

Tie clips should be as wide as your tie and stylists say that it should be worn between the third and fourth shirt buttons.

Pocket square

A pocket square helps to add a personal touch to the suit. The colour and fold of a pocket square is important and they should be harmonious with your overall look. 

They are not meant to double as handkerchiefs!

If your suit is patterned, choose a soft shade and if your suit is a solid colour, opt for a bold pocket square. 

Pocket squares should always be silk and white if you are wearing a black tuxedo. 

Cufflinks

A pair of stylish cufflinks might make your look more polished and stylish. It is a small accessory but could make a big difference if worn rightly. 

Lapel pin and Lapel flower

A lapel pin may be an old school accessory, but it helps to add a dash of elegance. 

Long-stem lapel pins in geometric shapes, arrows, etc are always popular choices. 

A boutonniere is a floral lapel accessory and it is only for occasions like weddings and holiday parties.

Watch

A nice looking watch is a must with your suit. It does not have to be an expensive piece, could just be something that reflects your style and personality. It is good to have some watch options in your accessory collection so you have one for every occasion.
