Matching Accessories The RIGHT Way | Essential Men's Accessories And How To Use Them
About this video
Centeno teaches five foundational rules for coordinating accessories and demonstrates how to wear twenty different accessories with style. He covers jewelry items like watches, rings, and cufflinks; functional accessories like bags, belts, and glasses; and clothing accessories like ties, scarves, pocket squares, and hats, explaining how to match metals, leathers, and formality levels appropriately.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that invisible accessories don’t require coordination, and practical considerations like staying warm should override styling rules
- Centeno recommends matching metals to metals and leather to leather, while noting that items with historical or personal meaning—like wedding rings and remembrance poppies—are exempt from standard matching rules
- Centeno teaches that watch style signals formality level; metal and leather straps indicate formality while rubber straps signal casual wear, and this principle extends to coordinating all other accessories
- Centeno advises using color wheels to understand analogous and complementary colors, and recommends neckties as ideal for complementary colors since they function as small accents rather than large contrasting pieces
