Business accessories

In my opinion it will depend on your style/personality.
I don't like a lot of colours so I tend to wear more navy/charcoal/black. I dress it up a bit by wearing a pocket square or a silk handkerchief with rolled edges in a colour that compliments your suit.
I have a collar bar but I don't wear it often as is still a bit strange in the office (I'm in London people at work might still question etc)
Most of the time is the fit of the suit that counts the most, as accessories will dress it up but if the suit doesn't fit you, you kinda dressing up something that is "not great" to begin with.
Also shoes are very important, as that's probably the most visible accessory, maybe except your tie. I tend to wear shoes with patina finish (Berluti, Tom Ford, Magnanni).

Agreed, although I would wear collar bars until people at the office get used to it. If you don't mind me asking could you vaguely describe the kind of place you work? Is it a bank? I am hoping to move to London over the next year or two. On the note of shoes, I think socks are an interesting way to add to how you look. Suits are getting shorter and more often people will see your socks, sometimes I try to match my socks to my pocket square (but always keep the tie different).
