C'N'C Costume National, the Italian fashion house of edgy menswear, specialises in interesting accessories. Check out the lace-up trainers (far right; HK$2,700) with a blue ink-stain effect on the ankle, or there's the strong but understated slip-on brown leather boots (right; HK$3,850). C'N'C Costume National is in Times Square, Causeway Bay, tel: 2506 0700.
Tang twisters
Not one to shy away from variations of a classic, we're all for the washed cotton red Mao jacket (HK$3,500) from Shanghai Tang's Rite of the Phoenix collection, matched with a cotton pique shirt with grosgrain trim (HK$1,880) and simple stretch cotton chino trousers (all left; HK$1,980). For something lighter, grab the linen shirt (HK$1,980), worn over a long-sleeved T-shirt (HK$1,480) and accessorised with a Scuba Class 888 watch (all above; HK$4,500). Shanghai Tang is in 1881 Heritage, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2368 2932.
Belt it out
Looking to perk up your wardrobe? Head to Galliano for a sift through the accessories. The multi-hue knit belt (far right; HK$1,750) hits all the right notes while, for a tough rocker look, there's the studded black leather version (right; HK$1,550). Galliano is in Times Square, tel: 2151 0822.
Way of the dragon
There's no running from the dragon this season. And German brand Hugo Boss has picked up on the trend, as seen in the Densor reporter bag (bottom; HK$4,600) and Deviton wallet (below; HK$1,800), both of which sport an embossed Chinese dragon. Hugo Boss is in Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2918 1802.

Keep it short
Alright guys, it's time to get in shape and show some leg. As the latest Jil Sander spring-summer runway demonstrated, a perturbing trend of short shorts is on offer for men this upcoming season. A plastic jacket (HK$16,900) with a knit top (HK$9,900) and shorts (all below right; HK$5,700) took the look to extremes. But we rather like the purple pleasures of a simply cut printed tee (HK$6,900) paired with black shorts (both below left; HK$5,700). Jil Sander is available at Lane Crawford, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2118 3388.
Eye on style
Proving it's not just about diamond-coated felines, Cartier's range of accessories for men is equally bedazzling. These tortoiseshell shades (below right; HK$12,000) and funky oblong-shaped wraparound shades (far right; HK$5,250) with panther-head arms are well worth a look. Cartier is in Prince's Building, Central, tel: 2522 2963
Original spin
Anyone for tennis? Loro Piana is ready to outfit those of you who are with its garment-washed, yarn-dyed cotton, denim and suede shoes (left; HK$5,900), a thin, two-toned striped pattern Egyptian cotton St Martin scarf (centre; HK$5,800) and an eye-catching Delon leather tennis bag (far left; HK$24,900) with cotton shoulder straps. Loro Piana is in IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7398.

Mark of distinction
It's not just the vivid colours and razzmatazz that makes Versace so distinct. We also like the more subtle look of the embossed belt (left; HK$3,200) and caramel leather holdall (above right; HK$27,900). Versace is in Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2918 1008.
Tipping the scales
The Homme Lizard collection at agnes b has an understated and reptilian tongue-in-chic feel about it. For elegant wristwear, there's the Homme b. Yourself Bracelet (below; HK$750) and the Homme two-tone bangle (above; HK$890). For its militant machismo, we also like the dogtag-style necklace (right; HK$890). Agnes b is in IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2805 0678.
Welcome black
Bulgari's simple and sophisticated leather accessories collection has an unmistakably refined and polished sheen. We like the travel bag in black grain calf leather (below right; HK$21,200), and love the flat messenger bag in black coated canvas and calf leather (below left; HK$5,800). Bulgari is in Pacific Place, tel: 2918 1221.
Class act
Gieves & Hawkes, once the go-to bespoke tailoring house for British military officers and the House of Windsor, is still dressing gentlemen of note. For your own bit of blue-blooded finesse, try the light grey Prince of Wales check wool silk suit (HK$14,500) with sky blue striped shirt (HK$3,350) and red and white fine patterned silk tie (all above left; HK$1,050). If it takes a more nautical look to float your boat, there's the red jacket (HK$6,950), casual striped T-shirt (HK$1,350) and white trousers (all far left; HK$2,350). Gieves & Hawkes is in IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7220.

Beckham beckons
David Beckham's line of underwear designed in collaboration with H&M will land in Hong Kong this week. The inexpensive, body-conscious collection is uncomplicated and deft, much like the man himself. Check out the grey boxer briefs (right; HK$149) and black square-cut briefs (far right; HK$149). The vests and T-shirts (HK$149 each), and long johns and pyjamas (HK$249 each) are also worth a look. H&M is at 68 Queen's Road Central, tel: 2110 9546.
Pack a punch
To celebrate the opening of MCM's first satellite store in Asia, the German brand has unveiled its latest leather goods collection, Munich by Night, in Hong Kong. Inspired by Munich's vibrant 1970s music scene is the black leather metal- studded Musik backpack (above left; HK$23,800). For a softer look, there's the Handwerkskunst backpack (below left; HK$23,800). These limited-edition backpacks are available exclusively until March 31 at MCM, Times Square, Causeway Bay, tel: 3425 4051.
Tribal glance
Burberry Prorsum's menswear line for spring-summer has an African vibe inspired by designer Christopher Bailey's travels. We love the dark moss twill cotton oversized heritage parka (HK$22,000) with chrome yellow scoop-neck top (HK$7,300) paired with the bright ink chambray linen skinny leg trousers (HK$7,300), the bright amber viscose crochet cap (HK$3,900) and the tan/tangerine Arundel moccasin (all far right; HK$7,700). For a dashing option, we like the chambray linen two-button jacket (HK$13,000) with white cotton poplin oversized shirt (HK$4,100) and ink-blue bleached Ikat cotton trousers (HK$8,100) topped with the primrose white viscose crochet cap (HK$3,900) and finished with dark Raffia Wallabee shoes (all right; HK$6,300). Burberry is in Alexandra House, Central, tel: 2868 3511.
Cool call
The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 (below; HK$6,300) is a stylish option for fashion-conscious types seeking an Android handset. Incorporating the fashion brand's distinct minimalist elegance, the no-fuss gadget has one of the biggest and brightest screens available. It features a glossy touch screen (127.5mm by 69mm) and Prada's signature Saffiano pattern on the back, with minimal hard keys completing the sleek simple finish. Prada is in Alexandra House, tel: 2522 2989.
