London-based designer Paul Smith started his own label in 1976, after he abandoned his dreams of becoming a competitive cyclist. Preferring to champion British heritage, the Paul Smith brand is wholeheartedly English with updated twists such as loud prints, contrasting colors and extra sharp tailoring. For year-round closet additions with a quirky edge, the men's Paul Smith accessories range features signature stripes on scarves and beanies as well as wallets, belts, cufflinks and ties.
