There’s a reason the Tommy Shelby look keeps coming back around (and it's not just because of the new Peaky Blinders film!). It’s sharp, restrained, and built on classic pieces that give style, rather than fashion. With fresh interest in Peaky-inspired tailoring, we’ve pulled together a simple edit of accessories that add that unmistakable finishing touch.
Think of this as your shortcut: four essentials that work with a three-piece suit, a crisp shirt and tie, or even a pared-back smart look. Subtle details do the heavy lifting here—polished metal and heritage designs.
Hip Flasks
A hip flask is pure Shelby energy: it’s about quietly breaking the rules while looking composed. Whether you prefer the character of pewter or the contrast of leather and steel, an engraved flask makes the piece feel like it’s always been yours (or the kind of gift someone keeps for years).
Tie Clips
A tie clip is a small piece with a big impact. It keeps everything neat, adds a clean line across the chest, and instantly makes the look feel intentional. Choose a classic profile for everyday wear, or go engraved when you want something personal without shouting - monograms work well on small pieces like this. Tommy is often seen wearing a classic, plain silver tie clip, but he also sports a pocket watch with a chain. A tie clip with a chain captures a similar look, adding the chain detail to a tailored outfit.
Signet Rings
If you add just one statement detail, make it a signet ring. Worn daily, it becomes part of your signature, especially when it carries a monogram or engraving that means something. Square profiles feel bold and modern; classic gold reads timeless and confident.
Cufflinks
Cufflinks are the finishing move: understated from a distance, unmistakable up close. They’re ideal for weddings, formal events, or any time you want your tailoring to feel elevated. Classic shapes keep it sharp; knot styles add texture without looking flashy.
How to wear it without going costume
The trick is restraint. Pick one hero detail (a signet ring or an engraved tie clip), then keep the rest clean and classic. Textured tailoring (tweed, flannel, checks) does the work, while accessories provide the polish. If you’re adding a cap or an overcoat, scale back elsewhere.
