When men hear the word 'accessory' as it relates to style, many run for the hills. The term is overwrought with connotations of dandyism, purses, and wrist bangles. Don't fear the accessory, however, it's what finalizes your style.

Any man can put on a expensive suit. It's real style to pull together a look - a feeling - of completeness.

Pearls

Pearls are a timeless piece but to make them a little trendier try necklaces that have pearls incorporated into the design. At Dean-Kingston we have unconventional necklaces by Angel Cort. These necklaces are statement pieces that will add something to any outfit. Angel Court necklaces are all vintage with some one of a kind charms. The necklace on the left is available for $246 and the one on the right is available for $268.

Fur Vests

This fall fur vests are pretty much a wardrobe staple. Fur is being seen on all the runways by just about every designer. If you don't want to wear real fur then try faux, it looks just as good. Fur accents on vests and bags are a good way to incorporate wearing fur if you don't want a vest or coat. We have two faux fur vests available at Dean-Kingston for $118 and $175

Lace-Up Boots

Lace-up boots are a great way to transition into fall. These boots come in a variety of colors and styles; they can look rocker or vintage chic. Peep toes add a sense of girliness to something edgy. Lace-up boots are great to wear with jeans, leggings, dresses, or even shorts. Throw them on with a blazer or leather jacket for an easy polished look.

Bed-Stu available at Dean-Kingston for $290

Seasonless Dressing

An emerging new trend being seen in the fashion industry is seasonless dressing. A few years ago each season there was a new "must have" trend which is now no longer the case. Designers are are now not worried about particular trends but instead creating something they feel passionate about. Now instead of having ten must-have pieces each season, a consumer should be more focused on having ten investment pieces in their wardrobe. This change could be a result of the economy, consumers feel it is more important to buy investment pieces as opposed to buying a new trendy wardrobe each season.

European trends are now influencing American fashion more than ever. Monochromatic dressing is the newest color trend. Wearing grey from head-to-toe (grey shoes, shirts, pant, everything) is an easy, figure flattering way to look chic. Black is the "it" color. Wearing black is the easiest way to look chic and sophisticated. An easy way to make a solid black wardrobe more interesting is focusing on the details. Black pieces can be made more interesting by unique stitching, piping, shoulder pads or embellishments.

D-K Fall

Your Fall wardrobe has to include feathers, army details, lace, and of course leather. Dean-Kingston has these great Owlita feather earrings for $96. To get the right military look find a great military inspired jacket or pair of boots like the pictured pair for $296. Lace dresses and leggings are as easy way to do lace, a lace dress can be paired with a leather jacket to balance out the femininity. You cannot do a season without leather, Dean-Kingston is preparing for fall with a great selection of leather jackets.
