7 Accessories You Should Get Rid Of Now

About this video

Weston identifies nine outdated accessories that men should remove from their wardrobes, including thick bracelets, wide ties, chunky belts, lapel pins, oversized tie bars, colored shoelaces, and chunky rings. She argues that accessories should be minimal and streamlined to maintain a polished appearance, and recommends using items like socks and pocket squares as better outlets for personal style.

Key takeaways

• Weston recommends bracelets should be delicate and thin, no wider than a quarter inch, as thicker bracelets look dated and amateurish
• Weston advises tie width should be 1.5-2 inches for average builds and 2.5-3 inches for larger frames; anything wider looks frumpy and undermines professional credibility
• Weston argues belts should be minimal with simple buckles, ideally 1-1.25 inches wide, and recommends avoiding logo buckles and contrasting stitching in favor of a streamlined look
• Weston suggests showing personality through ties, pocket squares, and socks rather than colorful shoelaces or chunky jewelry, which she views as overwrought
• Weston recommends men stick to one delicate ring, such as a band or signet style, and keep overall jewelry understated to maintain a polished appearance
