I have just purchased a new suit for work, I'm looking for some quirky accessories to add to my suit. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Why ruin it with silly 'quirks'? Had you researched a little you would have improved your judgement.

A pocket square is sufficient.

Tie Clip - apart from the other suggestions

If you work in politics get a flag pin.

If you work at Disney Land get a mickey mouse pin.

Quirks can have the awesome ability to turn a perfectly nice outfit into a costume.

"new suit for work" with "quirky accessories" doesn't sound like good recipe. Especially since most "quirky" work environments are quirky because they shun suits.

If you must, why not skip the accessories wear it as odd pieces with other non suit items? That'll be quirky enough and other similar "quirky" compatriots will probably like the deconstructed Conservative Business Dress approach (think nice jacket with ripped jeans sort of thing [shudder])
