gentlemen, antonio here. today, we’re going to talk about five musthave summer accessories. as the temperature goes up, we wear less andless clothing and therefore, our accessories become more important because they are morevisible. in this video, guys, i’m going to talk aboutfive accessories that i think you should consider either upgrading or making sure that you’vegot the right one when it comes down to it. are you ready? let’s get into it. number one.
the perfect pair of sunglasses. and, notice i said, perfect, that’s theadjective i’m throwing on because this, gentlemen is the dependent on you. i’m not going to say one style is best,i’m not going to say one size is best because i don’t know the size of your head, i don’tknow the proportions of your head, i don’t know your personal likes, but i do know ifyou go out there and when you find the perfect shades, you put them on, you look in thatmirror and you just go like, wow, i look good. that’s when you guys you need to stick withthat style, find that style and go out there and look.
i know for the longest time, i was the guyout there going and buying cheap shades and nothing wrong with cheap shades especiallyif you’re going to the lake, you know you’re going to lose them, but most of the time,you’re not doing that. and so, unless you’re really lucky, butthe point is guys, go out and find a pair of shades that when you put them on, you feelgreat. now, these are a pair of shades i’ve hadfor about nine years. i think it’s been nine years and, they aregreat pair of shades. i like them, but when it comes down to itand they were probably the most expensive shades i ever – the first pair of reallynice shades and i stuck with those for a long
time. but, now i’ve been out there trying manydifferent brands, pulled in some aviators. what do you, guys think? i really like aviators, i like this particularpair, but i didn’t limit myself to that because i realized, okay, and i know maybesome of you guys like i love aviators and i don’t really want to stick out, well,change out the colors of the lenses. perhaps change out the colors and the typesof the frames. sometimes you’re going to find somethingthat maybe just doesn’t work for you. these wayfarers, i have to say not necessarilymy style, but all of a sudden, this, this
right here i actually like these, i didn’texpect to, but when you find a pair of like the club master and so, go out there explore,find the perfect pair for you. and, if you want more, guys, in the descriptioni have an ebook where you can actually learn more about lenses and all the various typesout there. but, point number two, find unique watch thatyou love the way it looks, it’s proportion on you, it’s lightweight, and, again, unique. so, the reason i’m going with unique isyou’re going to be and people – more people are going to see the watch and you want somethingthat’s going to be a conversation starter. when somebody sees this watch and they’relike, wow, that’s a really nice play of
brown on black, it’s proportioned rightto my hand. this one in the sample i have here, it’sfrom original grain. now, fyi, i want to let you guys know i’veactually got a couple other samples. they sent me this and i said, “hey, guys,i want to have some samples for my audience so i can send it out.†i want you guys to go check out original grainand when you do that, in the comments below in detail, tell me which style which one youreally like, i’ve got a couple i would love to send out to you, guys, but you’ve gotto nail the exact style and tell me how it’s going to fit into your summer wardrobe.
so, getting back to the unique aspect, everyonei’ve had in the office for the last two weeks and i’ve had quite a few people inmy office, they’ve all seen this watch and like, wow, i really like the look. it’s a classic design, yet it’s got theblack face. it’s got the wood vessel and that’s what’sreally unique about original grain. they’ve got this one it’s a minimalistdesign. it’s a 1.7 mm, the smallest wooded vesselyou’re going to see out there and overall, very nice proportioned well, it’s 40 mmcase right here. so, things like that work specifically forme.
i love unique and the look overall of thewatch and so, it’s a great conversation starter. a couple of other things about the watch isthey use italian leather bands, japanese quartz movements. guys, go check them out and like i said, igot a couple i’d love to giveaway to you. must have accessory number three is a protectivehat. when i was in the marine corps, we wore hatsand guys in the military understand you wear hats all the time because they’re functionaland they will protect you from the sun. for some reason, nowadays, hats aren’t infashion or if you’re going to wear one,
you’ve got to have confidence. that would my key point with wearing a hat,guys, practice wearing it. wear it in your house, wear it around theyard. if you’re not used to how people are goingto react to it, then simply practice wearing them, but go buy yourself a really nice hatlike a panama, maybe a straw fedora, you know, maybe those aren’t your styles maybe youwant to get a linen newsboy. but, what you want to be getting is somethingthat when you put it on, you feel good, you know you look good and it actually is functional. if you’re in arizona, you’re over in southerncalifornia, maybe you’re down over in florida,
a hat is going to work great because in thoseareas it’s just going to be summer, you can actually wear it quite a bit more, thereforeyou can spend more money. and, when you’re looking to buy a hat, makesure you buy the hat from a hat store that specializes in hats. i was in a menswear store and they happento have a couple summer hats. i looked at them and all of a sudden i realizedhalf the hats that they had there on display were actually broken, the straw was breakingup. but the issue is, that’s an afterthoughtfor them, the hats were not their main business. you want to go to someone that’s going tohelp you find the right size, the right proportioned
hat, and it’s going to give you so manyoptions of, yes, you’re going to spend a little bit more, but you’re going to havesomething. when you put it on, you’re going to lookgreat. [0:05:08]must have summer accessory number four, lightweight footwear. so, we’re talking espadrilles, sandals,we’re going to talk boat shoes, canvas sneakers. guys, what you’re looking for is somethingthat’s going to be a lighter weight than what you normally are going to wear especiallyin the winter, something that’s going to be more breathable.
i like lighter colors as well it usually worksbetter with shorts. i love the lighter colors, they’re goingto be in your wardrobe at this time of the year. and, go, get a pair of no-show socks. these no-show socks have at least a few ofthem because you’re going to go through them very quickly when you’re sweating,they’re going to prevent your shoes from staining on the inside and from smelling. my final must have accessory for the summer,i like to have a really nice leather portfolio notebook.
i find that i spend a lot of time outdoorsand i like to think and i know that many of you guys, i mean i’ve got multiple electronicdevices; ipads, iphones, all the other tablets out there, but i find that actually havingsomething that is beautiful in design that actually has pens, paper, you know, allowsme to write my thoughts out is great. i just had a friend in town and he showedme his notebook and actually, every single day he categorizes where he puts out exactlywhat he eats and how he exercises. and his thing and it’s very interestingstrategy but he creates a streak. so, he has done this for over two thousanddays. think about that.
and so, everyday, he’s putting down whathe ate and how he exercise and the thing is he never wants to break the streak and he’sconstantly able to go back and see how he’s taking care of his body. so, something like that, you know, i’m notsaying you have to do that, but i do like the idea of having a beautiful portfolio,a beautiful notebook, a beautiful journal that you can have with you and that you cankeep track of things when you’ve got the all right, guys, that’s it. now, don’t forget, in the comments, i wantyou to go check out original grain. i’ve got a couple of watches i want to sendyou guys, all you have to do is go to their
website, i’m going to link to it right here. and, when you go to their website, in thecomments down below, let me know which specific style, be very specific as to which styleyou like you think would look great with your summer wardrobe. that’s it, guys. i’ll see you in the next video.
