Unravel a new dimension of style and embellish your wardrobe with our menswear selection.
From ASAP Rocky’s Chanel pearl necklaces to Michael Cinco’s dazzling crystal-encrusted tailoring, embellishment is pushing the boundaries of traditional menswear. These designs defy conventional norms, offering men new ways to express their identities through a blend of femininity and masculinity. The fusion of delicate sparkle and glamour injects a fresh, electrifying energy into classic menswear, elevating it with a bold sophistication that challenges the status quo.
Conversely, a countertrend is emerging that emphasizes practicality over excess. Whether navigating rugged landscapes, bouldering indoors, or enjoying a leisurely beach retreat, functional accessories are gaining prominence. Braided cords, once relegated to boots and backpacks, now adorn necks, waists, and wrists as practical yet stylish, accessories. There’s an undeniable appeal in a man who embraces the luxury of technical fabrics, and a focus on health and fitness, valuing performance over the opulence of precious metals or ornate embellishments. It’s a style battle between two distinct worlds: one defined by extravagance, the other by utility, and the choice of which side to align with is yours.
