7 Summer Style Accessories To Upgrade Your Image
[0:00:00] In today’s video, gents, we’re going to
talk about how to improve your summer style game by taking your accessories to the next
level.
[Music] First up, gents, let’s talk shades.
Men, we are creatures of habit.
When we find something that works, we stick with it and that’s a good thing until it
becomes boring until it becomes repetitive.
So, guys, change it up.
If you’ve been wearing the same shades for a decade, maybe try a different style.
Go to one of the classics.
So, if you’ve got the sports shades.
Okay, maybe try a pair of Aviators.
Coming out of the military, Aviators do a great job of covering up the entire eye area,
they provide adequate protection, and they compliment most face shapes out there.
Already have a pair of Aviators?
Maybe you know this style really suits your face shape, well, go out there and experiment
with all the different colors and the different style options out there.
So, look at yourself in a lighter pair.
Say, oh, how do I like that versus the black and look for different shapes.
Aviators come in square shape, they come in a round teardrop shape, or wide range of different
styles out there.
Maybe change out the lens.
Go for something that has a little bit of color right there in the lens.
See what this looks like on you in the mirror.
Try this out, nothing wrong with sticking with one style and having a variety in that
style.
But, let’s say you really want to change things up.
Well, guys, look at Wayfarers.
It’s a classic design that’s been around go back we can see Tom Cruise, Risky Business,
Jack Nicholson, The Blues Brothers.
So, it’s going to be in style a decade from now.
But this is much bolder design especially in colors outside of black.
This is something that, hey, if you’re going to rock this, you got to have confidence.
Okay.
So, maybe the Wayfarers is too much, but you want something less common than the aviator.
Then, go over and look at a pair of classic Club Masters.
Again, this has been around for a long time, it’s not going to go out of style.
It’s got the bold design right here on top.
No frame right in on the bottom.
I think this is a great compromise if you’re looking to upgrade your shades.
Summer accessory number two to improve your style, gentlemen, upgrade your watch which
is going to be easy for many of you because you’re not even wearing a watch.
Gentlemen, a watch is a piece of jewelry that helps you bring color, bring style, brings
a little bit of elegance to your outfit.
There are so many different options out there.
Guys, when you buy a watch, but it for yourself.
Don’t buy it for anyone else.
You need to make the decision.
What do you want?
Be honest with yourself.
Do you want a watch that’s going to be muted no one’s going to notice or do you want
a watch that’s going to get compliments, a watch that’s going to stand out, a watch
that is going to grab attention?
Guys, once you’ve made that decision, then buy it because you want to buy something you’re
going to wear something you’re going to love something that every time you put it
on, you’re going to feel great.
Now, these watches right here as you can tell, I’ve got two different colors.
I’ve got a gold I’ve got a silver.
That is another thing that I look at.
I look at, okay, which colors do I naturally go with.
For me, I’ve always been a cool tone kind of guy, so almost all of the metals I like
to match my wardrobe are going to be silver.
But, I’m not saying, hey, don’t rule out gold.
Go out there and try it.
Maybe you like rose gold, maybe you like something that’s a little bit off gold.
You need to find what works for you.
Now, throughout this video, you’re going to see some great pictures of watches.
All of them can be found over at Vincero.
Vincero is the paid sponsor of today’s video.
And, guys, for over two years, I’ve been working with these guys because they make
great looking watches at an affordable price.
So, guys, when you wear a watch from Vincero, you are going to get compliments.
These are watches that standout to help you stand apart from the crowd.
And, guys, just go over there, look at all the different collections.
Look at the Chrono Collections, one of my favorite collections, just beautiful.
Now, another collection that I absolutely love is their Bellwether Collection.
It’s a beautiful watch, guys.
I’ve got the metal right here.
It’s got a nice weight to it, just a great looking watch.
Now, this watch right here, it’s a minimalist design coming out of Vincero’s Kairos Collection.
You’re going to see it’s the simplest dial on the website, a very simple plain look
if that’s what you’re looking for.
And if you’re looking for straps, guys, Vincero has a wide range of straps.
This is the new mesh strap.
I asked them to send it to me when I saw it hanging out with the guys in San Diego and
it is a great strap.
Really nice for summer if you want to change things up.
And speaking of straps, one of the things I love about Vincero is that most of their
straps are interchangeable between the watches.
So, if you like one leather on one watch, but you purchase another one or you just want
to purchase another interchangeable strap to work with your existing watch, you can
do it.
And if all that’s not enough, gentlemen, free worldwide shipping, a 24-month warranty,
and 30-day easy return policy.
Guys, I’m linking to Vincero down in the description.
There’s also a discount code down there.
It’s the best you’re going to find.
Use it or lose it, guys.
Go check them out, great company.
Summer accessory number three to upgrade, gentlemen, your headwear.
So, are you wearing a baseball cap?
If you are, you’re caught in fashion trend.
Nothing wrong with this because, hey, at least you’re practicing wearing headwear.
But, let’s look to upgrade this.
How do you get started?
Well, for me, it’s finding a purpose and a reason to actually wear the headwear.
So, the other day, I’m going to an air show and guess what?
We were out in the sun most the day.
That is a great reason a great purpose to actually start to wear a straw hat.
Yes, it is not maybe the most stylish piece, but you’re getting used to it, you’re
starting to wear hat.
So, you’re going out to the pool or maybe you’re just going to be out with a family.
Find a reason to start wearing a hat.
Star to build the collection.
[0:05:03] The key here is that you’re getting started
and then, all of a sudden you’re able to go find something that’s a bit more stylish
something that isn’t as much of a leap as it was maybe two months ago or at the beginning
of the summer and you bring this in because, hey, I feel comfortable wearing a hat.
And that’s the key, you’ve got to practice wearing the hat.
Summer style upgrade number four, have fun with your belts have fun with your suspenders.
So, the rule is your shoes should match your belts.
Well, let’s go and throw that rule out the window because, guys, have fun with your belts.
This belt right here, great for a Fourth of July picnic.
This belt right here, just isn’t going to probably match any shoe in my wardrobe and
it’s just something to wear for fun something that’s going to grab attention.
Now, I was talking about suspenders.
I know a lot of you guys don’t normally wear suspenders.
You’re like, Antonio, that’s kind of underwear and I agree.
But, you’re most likely going to be taken this jacket off.
You’re at a wedding, you’re having fun, and people are seeing those great looking
suspenders.
You’re looking great out there turn it up on the dance floor.
Summer style upgrade number five, bring back the cufflink.
A lot of guys think that cufflinks are only for formal wear.
That’s where they’re most common, but they’re not reserved for only formal wear.
So, you could actually bring casual cufflinks in with your casual shirts and have fun.
You’re going to stand out from the crowd.
It’s something that’s going to grab attention I think looks great.
Now, the question or the objection is going to be, Antonio, that’s only with French-cuffed
shirts.
And I agree, those are most common ones you’re going to find out there.
But, if you take one of your shirts to a tailor and you simply say, hey, I would like to make
these so that they can take cufflinks, they’re going to cut a hole on both sides.
This shirt right here is a barrel cuff and all of a sudden, this can now take cuff links.
So, a quick way to upgrade your style and have fun this summer.
Summer style upgrade number six, have fun with fragrance.
So, oh, there are just some fragrances that deserve to be worn during the summer.
They’re light, they’re may be got a citrus smell to them.
They’re just something about certain fragrances.
Have some fun, find a fragrance that is great for now for the warm weather something – and
there are so many different options out there, guys.
I’m going to link to some of my favorites down in the description of this video.
But, guys, go out there and find your summer scent.
So, what’s the next summer style upgrade?
Guys, have fun experiment with jewelry.
So many different options out there and for thousands of years, men of status men of power
have used jewelry to send a signal that they are in important, that it’s something they’ve
learned to enjoy wearing.
And you can have a lot of fun especially if that jewelry means something.
Maybe you’re an engineer up in Canada.
I knew you guys have your particular ring.
Maybe it’s a bracelet, you want something that is going to help you stand out from the
crowd.
You’re not big on watches, so you go in ahead and you bring in a bracelet.
Maybe it’s a necklace.
Maybe you served in the military and you want to remember the guys that you fought with
and you want to wear them on those dog tags.
Whatever it may be, find something that you can bring into your wardrobe.
Jewelry, so many guys stay away from it.
Guys, have fun this summer.
Now, this next summer style upgrade is going to be tough for some of you guys, but bring
in color.
So, watch what happens to my outfit when I take out that pocket square.
I mean it’s a good look, but I thought it looked a lot better with the color in there.
And color can have meaning.
Color can send a signal that, hey, this guy did something or it’s got a special meaning
to him.
You can find that color is a great – it sends signals, it grabs attention.
Don’t be afraid of the color pink, don’t be afraid to bring colors into your accessories.
Hats, maybe you want to bring a particular feather, something that has meaning to you.
Maybe with the jewelry look to bring in color.
But it’s something if you can master if you can practice, you can really standout
from the crowd, Whoa!
Whoa!
Stop there, don’t go anywhere.

I love interacting with you, guys.
And, if you found this useful, pass it around, share it with another man who can use this
information to become a better man because that’s what style is.
Style is a catalyst to help men shine.
There are so many men out there that are working hard that are putting in all these effort,
but people are passing them by do not give them any notice any recognition.
My goal is for you to be able to start a conversation, for you to be able to use style as a tool
to get what you want out of life.
Guys, take care.
I will see you in the next video.
