The tree is decorated, the house is immaculately lit, and the presents are all expertly wrapped and ready. The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, and there’s only one thing left to do: fill them to capacity with stocking stuffers your loved ones are sure to treasure.

If you are looking to outfit yourself or someone special this holiday season there is more to a stylish ensemble than just a suit. Follow our stocking stuffer ideas and load that carefully hung stocking with fashionable accessories to help complement his attire.

Cufflinks

Though they aren’t a must, a nice pair of cufflinks can add classy flare to a dress shirt. One thing to remember is that the shirt must be French cuff or you won’t be able to use the cufflinks.

Socks

You can never have enough pairs of comfortable socks. Whether they are thick wool to keep your feet warm in the coldest of winter temperatures, or bright-colored argyle to give your outfit a splash of color, the right pair of socks can add a stylish and/or functional element to your look.

Pocket Squares

It’s amazing what a small piece of fabric can add to an outfit. For an easy gift idea, fill his stocking with multiple pocket squares to give him ample options the next time he dresses up. Look for a few that are solid-colored and some with designs to make sure he has a full set.

Belts

Believe it or not, men have a favorite belt: the one that meets the requirements of looking good and fitting just right. Unfortunately, belts don’t last forever, and many of us will hang on to our favorite one long past its expiration date. So, a fresh new belt is always a welcome.

Tie Clip

A tie clip (or tie bar), is a subtle yet underappreciated accessory, and one that fits perfectly in a stocking. The purpose of the tie clip is to secure the tie to the shirt, ensuring the tie stays straight and neat.

The main thing to consider when purchasing a tie clip is the width. They usually come in various sizes, ranging from 1 inch to 2.5 inches. For example, if the person you are buying for wears mostly skinny ties, then you should opt for the 1 inch width tie clip.

Wallet or Money Clip

Long gone are the days of the Velcro wallets, or simply carrying loose cash and cards in pockets. Help your special someone stay organized this holiday season with a leather wallet or a money clip. Have it monogrammed or engraved, if you’re feeling particularly generous.

While toothbrushes, gum, and other small gags also make perfect stocking stuffers, don’t hesitate to add these functional and stylish items to help enhance his style this holiday season.
