A IS FOR ACCESSORIES<br />
Yes, we’re talking jewellery for guys…<br />
rings to be exact.<br />
For too long, it’s been a taboo, but in<br />
recent weeks some of our favourite<br />
male celebrities have initiated a<br />
movement that’s been a long time<br />
coming.<br />
More than just a fashion trend,<br />
jewellery can represent important<br />
milestones in your life, no longer<br />
reserved for getting wed. Stephen<br />
Webster, Miansai and Alexander<br />
McQueen all provide dapper, modern<br />
options that offer shipping to New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Nothing oozes cool like a simple ring<br />
on your little finger; we pinky promise.<br />
STYLE TIP: Don’t stack up like Mr T,<br />
keep it sleek and single.<br />
B IS FOR BAGS<br />
They’re not just for weekends away,<br />
they’re for life.<br />
Are weekend escapes and business<br />
trips tainted by timely delays at the<br />
luggage belt? Invest in a slick, spacious<br />
bag that will allow you to carry on,<br />
carrying on.<br />
Discard cheaper bags that will likely<br />
bring bust zips, splitting seams and<br />
frustration. Opt instead for designs<br />
that feature reinforced handles, lined<br />
interiors and smaller internal pockets.<br />
The Beltrami Weekender by Republic<br />
of Florence, available online at The<br />
Iconic, ticks all of the boxes.<br />
Endless luggage envy is in the bag.<br />
STYLE TIP: Leather options get better<br />
with age and experience, so be sure<br />
to use it often.<br />
C IS FOR COATS<br />
Buy into a winter warmer that will<br />
serve you for years to come.<br />
A shearling jacket of high quality<br />
provides a functional and fashionable<br />
wardrobe staple that you’ll happily<br />
reach for each winter.<br />
The variations of this classic are<br />
endless, so whether you’re looking to<br />
channel Robert Redford in Downhill<br />
Racer or Bane in The Dark Knight<br />
Rises, there’s a shearling coat for you.<br />
Flick auto-pilot on because your<br />
mission to find a triumphantly<br />
timeless coat is over.<br />
STYLE TIP: The impression of a<br />
broader chest can be achieved by<br />
opting for double-breasted varieties.<br />
