My boss asked me several times if he can carry a bag. My answer is always the same: “Yes you can!” Really, why can’t men carry a purse? Forget the old cliché that a man needs a woman, so he can put his credit cards and car keys in her evening bag; a man can walk alone nowadays, and indulge in buying designer accessory too.
Men always ask me if they can wear accessories. Can a man wear a handbag? Or a cool necklace? The answer is yes. But only if you pick the right ones! The accessories straight men wear (gay men can wear anything) must be very cool in a classic, quirky, nonchalant or stylish way. A good example is the leather bow tie necklace from Baptiste Viry. You will absolutely stand out if you wear this suede bow at an ordinary black tie party where every boring man wears the same ugly, short bow in Bordeaux red, grey or black with stripes on it. I will go for you, that’s for sure!
