SPRING Style ESSENTIALS!
So I received a question the other day
Antonio, how can I liven up my spring wardrobe?
So in today’s video I’m going to give you seven items that you can add to your spring
wardrobe right now, you can wear again next year, and the year after and they’re going
to look great.
Are you ready guys?
Let’s get into it.
[Music] Tip number one.
Change up your sunglasses.
So, I’ve had these particular sunglasses for a long time.
But, guys, if you are sticking with the same glasses again and again, break out of the
habit.
Bring in something classic maybe like a pair of aviators.
You could bring in just a different color of something that you already like and that
is enough of the change that people will notice, they’ll start to give you compliments.
There are so many different options out there when it comes to sunglasses, guys.
Try something new.
Tip number two.
Liven up those boots.
So, I’ve been wearing the same dark-colored Chelsea boots pretty much all winter.
And I know a lot of you guys love boot, but there are so many different options.
Maybe go again for the same style you’re already wearing, but go with a lighter-colored
leather.
Maybe look to bring in something that’s not only lighter-colored, but actually has
texture to it like a suede.
Maybe go with something that has textured to it, but also brings in a bold color such
as blue suede.
Guys, many options out there, but have fun with your footwear.
Tip number three.
Downgrade your wallet.
Now, I love this billfold, I had this for years, but the size of this billfold encourages
me to fill it up.
When you go with a slim wallet, you actually have a lot less room, you’ve got to make
the hard choices.
And I find when I’m traveling the slim wallet works great, all of a sudden I’m able to
get it down and I find that actually stick with this sometimes for even weeks after I
returned from a trip.
Tip number four.
Upgrade your wallet.
So, I know a lot of you guys like to carry a bit more and the wallet just isn’t going
to do it.
So, guys, look at a man bag.
I want to go with something though that’s got a nice strong masculine feel, something
– actually, this right here has a canvas or basically a cotton that actually has a
little bit of a wax surface on it, so it’s a little bit weather resistant, has leather
accents, a little bit oversized hardware.
Little things like that clearly send the signal, hey, this ain’t no man purse.
Whenever I’m traveling I love taking a bag like this or even when I’m going around
town and I need something to carry the letters, important pieces of paperwork, other things
I may want to carry, I have this bag to do that.
Item number five.
A good insulated vest.
Now, I don’t know how cold it gets in your area, but here in Wisconsin it gets down to
like -20, -30, -10.
So, when it’s 30 degrees, that’s actually good spring weather.
The snow is starting to melt and it’s something that, hey, I don’t want to wear a jacket,
so I throw in this insulated vest.
It serves the functional purpose of keeping my core warm, but at the same time gives the
guns freedom of movement.
But at the end of the day guys, what I love about these insulated vests is they’re just
comfortable, they do a great job, they’re very versatile
if you go with a dark-colored that’s close not exactly matching, but close to your jeans
or to your pants.
So, this one right here I’ve also got dark blue, dark green.
I like keeping them solid, therefore I can bring in more color with the shirts.
[0:03:14] Speaking of shirts, let’s jump into the
next point which is have fun with your spring shirts.
So, spring shirts you can bring in a lot of color.
Shirts in general aren’t going to be the most expensive item, so you can have a little
bit of fun here.
This right here maybe you wouldn’t normally wear purple, but in this type of pattern I
think a lot of men could pull it off.
A pattern like this though as you can see it’s larger and it’s using bolder colors.
Most guys are going to want to probably pull into their wardrobe, but someone that’s
looking for a little bit bolder of a look could definitely pull this off.
Now, pink, I think that this is an amazing color that more men should bring into their
wardrobe.
The people that want to be careful of pink are those that have a reddish complexion,
it’s just going to bring that out a bit more.
But, if you got, you know, medium olive colored skin, you may find that this is going to look
great for you and you’re going to get tons of compliments.
Now, color isn’t the only thing that you can experiment with, why not try changing
up the fabric.
Here we’ve got denim, more of a western look, but this right here can really liven
up a wardrobe.
You can have fun with it or go maybe you’re not a denim guy, you don’t like the western
look, well, still look for something with the double-breasted pockets, a very casual
very airy very spring look.
All right, gentlemen, so as you can see I’m wearing a dark brown brushed cotton pair of
trousers and I love these because they’re going to go with almost anything in my wardrobe.
When you go with the brush cotton, the cool part here is that we see the texture.
Basically, what they’ve done when they’ve wove out the fabric is they treated it one
more time and it created this napped surface.
So, it’s actually going to trap air and be a little bit warmer and it has this great
feel.
But, you also have corduroy is an option.
I think more men should actually embrace corduroy especially when it comes to pants or their
trousers.
Now, I want to be sure to mention gray flannel.
Gray flannel wool is going to be the dressiest of all three types of trousers I’m talking
about here.
This is something you can wear with the sports jacket, you can dress it up, you can dress
it down with a sweater.
It’s going to work with any of your sports jackets.
It’s going to look just great with all the shirts in your wardrobe.
Gray is a non-color, therefore it’s going to match pretty much anything and it’s one
of the reasons I love this fabric.
All right, gents, bonus round.
So, casual lightweight jackets, the cool part is that you can layer under this, you can
actually stay pretty warm.
Now, this jacket right here uses suede, you’ve probably seen me wear this in the few videos
because every time I do I get tons of compliments.
The fabric, the color, everything is unique about this.
Something I can wear in the spring, look great, and you’ve to love a great lightweight jacket.
All right, gents, that’s it seven items you can add to your spring wardrobe to really
freshen it up and look great.
Let me know in the comments what you would have added, what you would have done to make
this video better.
