ALPHA MALE: Super Accessories

ALPHA MALE: Super Accessories

This week, we’re going to discuss three accessories that can turn your outfit from playoff elimination to Tom Brady.  A stylish belt and big watch are two wardrobe essentials, and a hot bracelet is the new accessory to add to your 2012 repertoire. Successful execution of these three accessories will lead style success.

Start the year by upgrading your belt.

Plain simple belts serve a purpose, but if you’re looking for style and sophistication, it’s time to try something new. First, belts are getting wider – 1.25 – 1.5 inches are cool.  Second, assist our gator-hunting friends

down south by buying a matte’ gator belt (avoid excessive shine).  Finally, get noticed by wearing a large buckle.

Next, we’re noticing too many men have traded in their watches for iPhones.

Get a new watch this year.  While slim watches remain dressy and sophisticated, bigger watches are the rage when men want to make a statement.  We recommend Android’s new line – cool and sexy without sacking the bank account.

Finally, this year’s Hail Mary men’s accessory are bracelets.

Ranging in price from $350 for Nylon up to $5000 for a Catherine Zedeh Buffalo Horn Bracelet finished with rose gold, bracelets in price and style.  As always, stay understated; never wear a bracelet that enters a room ahead of you.

Enjoy the game.
