Best Men’s Accessories for Father’s Day This 2019

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16, 2019. Your potential buyers are likely looking for a gift for the dads who consistently go above and beyond. We know this is not an easy task. Luckily, we did the majority of the legwork on your behalf. In this list, we compiled what we think are the 5 best-known archetypes of dads in relation to fashion accessories. Which category does your dad fall into?

The dad whose only item of jewelry is his wedding band: Tiger’s Eye Ring – TK378

Face it, part of becoming a dad is looking like a dad but it doesn’t have to be that way! There’s at least one guaranteed piece of jewelry most dad’s will wear every day and that’s his wedding band. Why stick to the same boring band day in and day out? The average man wants to look presentable but also does not want to be flashy, so the traditional sparkly stones aren’t going to be suitable for the standard dad. That’s why our pick for the most dad-friendly ring is the tiger’s eye. The polished stainless steel band is sleek yet understated and the polished brown sheen of the tiger’s eye stone matches brilliantly with a pair of brown leather dress shoes. It even goes well with a pair of nicely fitted of jeans and a casual blazer for a more laid back look. If he is going to be wearing a ring anyway, why not choose one that will make him feel just a little bit less ordinary.

The old t-shirt and jeans dad: Stainless Steel “Ivory” Necklace – TK2004

Maybe he’s lazy or maybe he’s bohemian. In either case, this type of dad wears the same few 80s metal band t-shirts most days and the holes in his jeans weren’t there when he bought them.  It’s no question that many men like this embrace a more natural and more simple way of dressing. But just because you’re bohemian, doesn’t mean you can’t still look like a gentleman. The key difference between looking slick and looking like a slob is accessories. When you pair a ratty t-shirt and torn jeans with a well put together accessories, you signify to the world that you meant for those holes to be in that shirt. Try to pair this more casual look with our stainless steel “ivory” and faux leather necklace. This stainless steel pendant is inspired by the natural look of ivory or shark tooth without any of the harm. Worn with a faux leather necklace and even the laziest outfit can look put together.

The cool dad: Serpent’s Trace Bracelet – TK575

The coolness of a dad is dependent on the age of the beholder. There’s no one cooler than your dad when you’re under 12 years old and there’s no one lamer than your dad when you’re a teenager. Even though this is an absolute law of nature when dealing with your own dad, when we look at another person’s dad, we know a “cool” dad when we see one. For those motorcycle riding, adventure sports loving “cool” dad, nothing fits better than this serpent’s trace bracelet. The ridged pattern of this bracelet is inspired by deadly snakes and other dangerous creatures. Wearing this bracelet lets the cool dad stay adventurous even when he’s just in the garage working on his Harley.

The dapper dad: Cufflinks – TK3290

Not all dads are slobs and if they are now, there’s a good chance they weren’t a slob before they became a dad. To the current and former dapper dads, there’s no better way to elevate a formal look than with cufflinks. Just wearing cufflinks shows that you care about how you look since the shirts themselves can be hard to find. To take your French style cuff to the next level, we recommend our gunmetal semi-precious cufflinks. The subtle glimmer of stones pairs elegantly with a white or off-white dress shirt.

The breadwinner: Money Clip – TK2091

You’ve seen it before, some dad’s just only want to talk about money. Whether it’s too much money or not enough, it’s safe to say that this type of dad already has a favorite accessory: cold hard cash. Then what’s better than getting an accessory for his favorite accessory! The interwoven pattern on this money clip is inlaid with a handsome black enamel. The design evokes playfulness as well as seriousness and is perfect for the guy that wants to show off the greenbacks every once in a while. It doesn’t hurt that it’s less bulky and easier to carry around than that old trifold wallet he’s carrying.

Conclusion

We wouldn’t dare claim that these 5 archetypes of dads cover all styles of dads but we would like to think that we got close. With these 5 styles of accessories, we are sure that even if your dad doesn’t fit into any of these categories, he will still feel loved this Father’s Day.

Own a clothing boutique? Increase your bottom line with accessories.

Do you own a fashion boutique? Perhaps you are in charge of maintaining or decorating a retail space. Even if you sell a small number of handmade items at a local farmers market or flea market, you are leaving money on the table if you are not selling accessories to pair with your clothing! Not only do small accessories delight your customers with additional ways to catch their eye, but they also dramatically increase your revenue per square foot of retail space. Accessories such as rings and necklaces add to your existing product line while taking up minimal display space. These small items also have “impulse purchase” appeal due to their eye-catching nature and often more inexpensive prices. Finally, accessories can help you sell more of your existing clothing by letting you re-frame your existing line in a new perspective.

Do’s and don’ts of displaying accessories

Now it’s easy to talk about adding accessories to your fashion line, but how do you actually do it? Here we will go over some easy do’s and don’ts to maximize your accessories selling potential.

Do: Utilize your existing space

Do you already have display mannequins to display your clothing line? Focus on what you already have and make sure your designs flow naturally. For example, if you already have a hat as an accent piece to your ensemble, add a chunky necklace to focus the eye upwards.

Also, not all displays are equal. If shopping for a new mannequin, consider one with articulated fingers. Not only does this type of display open you up to new display poses, but it also allows you to add rings which can have similar profit margins compared to much larger clothing items while taking up significantly less floor space.


Don’t: Use a flat lay that falls flat

Laying items flat on a table is probably the most basic and common way of displaying small items and accessories. There is not necessarily anything wrong with this method but avoid lining up items in perfect rows and groupings. Packing items together too tightly tends to create a camouflage effect where no individual item stands out.

Do: Use a theme and irregular display shapes and patterns

Breaking up regular patterns and shapes will draw attention to details where there was none before. These uneven patterns might make the perfectionist in you go crazy but that’s kind of the point. Regular patterns bore the eye. Try variations on height, color, materials, and shapes. When you do group items together, try to do so in a way that tells a story such as silver items from a particular place or gold items that evoke a certain time period.

Do: Optimize for impulse purchases

DA230 Bow necklace set
LO4217 – Vintage style layered CZ necklace
3W1537 – Long wrappable jade and crystal necklace

Fashion jewelry can be the perfect “impulse” purchase. Much like a candy bar at the checkout aisle, small and eye-catching items can give customers that extra dopamine hit right when they are already in the mood to buy. The price point is important here. Overly expensive items will not trigger that impulse purchase response. The right price depends on the relative price of other items in your store but under $10 or $20 is a good rule of thumb. Also, remember to utilize space to your advantage such as stand up displays. Veritical displays take up less space at the checkout line and can be placed in the direct eye line of the customer.

Don’t: Add accessories just for the sake of it

TK3499 – Stainless steel statement necklace

You will often not want to add an accessory for no reason. An accessory should be able to accent a particular item for a particular reason. In this case, the parallel lines created by this long stranded necklace helps complement the geometric design of this strapless dress. This complementary factor can not only help you sell the accessory but helps to accentuate the dress to make a potential buyer see your primary item in a new light.

Do: Reuse existing designs for multiple seasons

The beauty of selling accessories as a complementary item is that they are never the star of the show, so you can get away with reusing the same item more than once. This allows you to reduce inventory while still staying stocked for all seasons.

TK3611 – Jet black achromatic dangle earrings

Wrap up

Even if you sell primarily clothing, you should not forget about accessories. Small fashion jewelry such as rings and earrings not only adds another revenue stream with minimal display space, but it can also help you sell your existing products.

How to secretly measure her ring size

You are asking your partner to marry you. How exciting! You put the ring on her finger, but you find out it’s the wrong size. How embarrassing! Marriage is a big step. You can do everything right like bring her to the perfect restaurant or gather family and friends for a special party, but an ill-fitting ring can ruin everything. How do you figure out her ring size while keeping the surprise? Here are some tips to help you on your special journey.

1. Grab her ring

If your fiancee-to-be wears a ring on her left ring finger, you are in luck. You can just secretly borrow it and use our online ring size tool to figure out the size. But if she wears that ring every day, you can try another method.

2. Tie the knot (literally)

You can wrap a piece of string or print out our ruler on a strip of paper. Wrap this string or paper around her finger and mark the correct point to measure her ring size. We suggest you can do this while she is sleeping to maintain the element of surprise.


3. Ask her friends

Another great way to find out her ring size is to ask her your partner’s friends to take her shopping and try on some rings for fun. You can get her accurate ring size after hearing back from her friends.

Every woman is worth a wonderful proposal. We hope the above information will be helpful, and good luck!

Which finger do you wear your rings? What your ring finger says about you.

Wearing a ring can certainly draw attention to your fingers, but did you know that that beautiful ring not only shows your fashionable tastes but also reveals a bit about your personality? While people may no longer adhere to tradition quite as much, it’s still fun to find out what wearing a ring on a particular finger might say about you!

Thumb

Meaning: Self-confident, straightforward, and bold.

Our Picks: A chunky ring is a great choice to show your confidence and fashion statement here.

Before you go!

Before you go, let’s play a game! Do you know why we wear wedding rings on the fourth finger?

First, open your hands and place both of your hands together. Second, bend your two middle fingers together, and leave others fingers touching together.

  1. Your thumbs represent your parents. Now separate your thumbs. This represents when you first move out of the house and start life on your own.
  2. Your index fingers represent your siblings. Separate your index fingers to represent your brothers and sisters branching off and starting families of their own.
  3. Your pinky fingers represent your children. Separate your pinky fingers to represent your children leaving the nest and starting their own family with somebody in the future.
  4. Finally, try to separate your ring fingers. You can’t do it, right? This is because ring fingers represent how husband and wife are destined to be together forever.

This explanation comes from an old traditional folktale. Fun isn’t it!

How to choose the earrings that best complement your face shape

There are many kinds of earrings on the market: long drop earrings, dangle earrings, chandelier earrings and etc. But do you know what kind of earrings is best matched to your face shape? Today we are going to teach you how to choose the earrings that best suits you!

1. Diamond-shaped face: Delicate drops

Your forehead and chin are narrower than the cheekbones. To balance a diamond-shaped face, choose earrings with more width than length, such as delicate drops, to bring out your natural beauty.

2. Round-shaped face: Long drop and dangle earrings

If the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are about equal, wearing long drop and dangle earrings are a great way to elongate the face.

3. Heart-shaped face: Teardrops

Try teardrop styles or designs that are wider at the bottom to balance a triangular face shape.

4. Long face: Short dangles, pearl earrings

Earrings like short dangles and pearls help to visually complement a longer face by shortening your overall look.

5. Square-shaped face: Chandelier earrings

Chandelier earrings are the perfect choice for you. They can soften the natural angles of the face and accentuate the cheek-bones.

6. Oval-shaped face: Any style of earrings!

Lucky you! You can basically wear any style of earrings. Pearls, teardrops, ovals, all give a soft compliment your face’s natural contours.
