Bracelet Fail [0:00:00]
So, I don’t know what I was thinking, but I saw these accessories online and I’m like,
“Man, those look good.
I am going to try to bring those into my wardrobe.”
I went out and bought a whole bunch of them and it’s a complete fail.
What am I talking about, guys?
Find out in today’s video.
[Music] So, there is one accessory that seems to be
the bane to my existence.
No matter how hard I try, I’m not able to incorporate this into my wardrobe.
What am I talking about?
Bracelets.
Okay.
So, I’ve – I’ve done promotions for Zorrata.
I, you know, nice bracelets.
But, you know, I’m like, yeah, functionally like why – what’s the meaning and maybe
that’s what’s missing.
I had some other people send me some very interesting ones.
I never wore this, it was a little bit, you know, [clean].
And so, I’m looking online and I’m like, “Wow!
Look at that.
It’s functional and it’s a bracelet and it looked pretty good.”
Tread by Leatherman.
And so, I’m looking at this thing and I’m like this is a bracelet that is like twenty
something tools in one, I’m like, sure, I go grab this thing.
I bought three of them.
I’m like I wanted to try out the different styles I’m like this thing is going to be
awesome.
And then, I get it and I realized not only how big it is, but how – well, what’s
the deal?
Okay.
So, first off, if you haven’t seen this, it’s actually I think a very interesting
concept and some guys are absolutely loving it.
I am not one of them.
So, what I thought is, you know, I just need a bracelet that’s going to actually be functional
something that has a purpose for when I’m wearing it.
I’m like thinking, okay, this thing has all of these -- and if you haven’t seen
it, it’s got all of these tools.
We’ll list them down in the description.
And you can even have used this, I saw this was interesting to actually combine it with
a watch which I thought I was like, this is awesome.
But, here is the deal here was the – the kryptonite with this.
As I’m going through and looking at all the tools and I mean there’s no lack of
tools on here, I realized on a daily basis I don’t use really any of these.
The only one I got really excited about was the cutting tool.
So, this was the one I got so excited about, they have a little cutting tool.
So, what did I learn from this failure?
Am I giving up on bracelets?
The answer is no because I still like watches and I love wearing watches and I realized,
okay, that is a bracelet in a sense if you think about it, it just had a timepiece on
it.
And I’m going to keep trying, I’m going to try some other pieces I’m going to go
out there and find what I’m looking for.
Now, when it comes down to the functionality, you know I really came down, you know, it’s
simply a Shard right here by Gerber.
This is actually going to serve everything I wanted and it’s a fraction of the cost
of that actually oversized bracelet which, again, I’m not tearing on Leatherman, but
it’s just that particular piece.
And that’s what you learn from failure is it that one thing just didn’t work for me
and that’s why you need to try things always look for good return policy.
I will be sending those back.
And, don’t be afraid to go out there and experiment.
Don’t give up on an accessory or a piece if it doesn’t work out the first time or
the second time.
If you really want to incorporate hats into your wardrobe, experiment, have fun, but find
something that really resonates with you.
Any of you guys have some advice on wearing bracelets?
Do you have some favorite bracelets?
Do you have particular pieces?
I know that there are bands that some of you guys wear that, you know, the different bands
for different meanings that became very fashionable.
This Explorer right here, the Rolex Explorer reminds me that me and my family love to explore
the world.
And it’s a small thing, but daily to be reminded, oh, we got a trip coming up.
We’re heading over to London which I’m linking – going to link to the Youpreneur
event.
I’m going to be speaking at that here in November, so if you’re in London you’re
close, make sure to be on my email list.
Guys, I want to hear from you down in the comments.
If you like this video, give it a like.
If you, you know, you’re new here to Real Men Real Style, click on that subscribe button.
But, guys, I appreciate you, I appreciate everything we built up, and I’m having fun
a little bit different of a video, but I wanted to share with you guys a failure when it comes
to style.
People think that, oh, Antonio can probably wear a lot of things, he knows style.
But, I fail just like everyone else out there.
So, when you’re out there making these purchases, make sure they got a good return policy and
don’t be afraid to try something new.
That’s it, guys.
Take care.
I’ll see you in the next video.
