A Touch Of Class: Accessories
The beginning of December reminds us that the holidays are here and with her
, finally, comes the time of tissue type Tweed, wool sweaters and a few weeks that will be characterized, among other things, for purchases.
Because on the one hand to the proximity of these dates and the other in the absence of a www.elristocrata.com article on the importance of supplements and accessories, we wanted to dedicate this chapter from December to try to help the most undecided to decide to be these small details that seek their attention when have to make holiday shopping.
There are few men who maintain that the great distinction often provide those little accessories that accompany our attire daily. While we are of the opinion that it is more important to match the colors of, for example, our suit-shirt-tie that choosing a certain twins, it is also true that to achieve the maximum level of elegance we can never forget those small but important details.
Surely we have all heard or read on occasion that gentleman jewelry should be made only by the wedding Anino, watch, a seal and tie pin. Although the list have been added over time some other supplement, as a starting point is a very accurate statement.
The clock
For me the most important accessory is definitely the watch. Watches have been together shoes supplements that have piqued my interest and somehow two of my great passions beside the finest materials from all animals: the Spanish horse.
A watch can tell us much more than just the time, we can talk and tell a lot about its owner. Surely the thinking, hobbies and friendships to an owner of a Audermars Piguet, a Richard Mille Roger Dubuis or differ enough from those of a man with a Patek Phillipe, a FP Journe or a Lange & Shne.
I would also like to say that these will differ, so will, for example, the cut of the suit, shoes or even accompanying home decor. It is amazing how much we can say a watch wearer.
As the most important accessory is also, to my regret, is usually the most expensive. However, if we stop to think just a few minutes we'll find plenty of reasons to justify such expenditure, that rarely investment. For example, today there are few that we record an important event with the purchase of a new watch.
As the years and admire those first pieces that occupied the top of our already old box of watches, quickly reminded us that infernal Selectivad test or that college or that first job or the day of our wedding or the birth our first daughter ..... Somehow become like those on other tattoos that decorate his skin and at the end of his days avatars remind all those who have spent their lives.
We should add that the gentlemen, contrary to what happens with the ladies, do not usually have many valuables that endure throughout our lives and that when the time are willing to continue being enjoyed by the next generation.
Surely many of us familiar phrase: never a Patek Philippe is all yours, yours is pleased to guard him until the next generation. This phrase, coined by this mythical although Swiss house, it could be extended to most parts counting with a timeless design and a big name behind accompany us until the moment that the second generation has earned the honor of guarding it until the third generation.
The choice of a watch is a very personal and no wrong choices. Gentlemen will sure give you the greatest importance to the design while others will enhance the character of certain houses manufacturing, which, incidentally, are far fewer than many jewelers dependent and not a few men think.
Although difficult to fail in choosing a watch, there are some minimum standards to which we should pay attention as the use you're going to give. For example, should not be the same clock to relocate when the clothe of sport that we choose when we do morning coat.
We must escape the maxi watches, so fashionable today, when classically clothe. The proportionality of the different brands of both Alan Flusser talks applies also to watch. A 44mm watch, much as we like, it is not appropriate dressing, for example, a morning coat or a three-piece suit. To find these options is much more successful as a pocket watch or a discrete steps of 36 or 38mm.
On the contrary if casual dress or tie but more informal, such as during the casual Fridays, a current clock measures can complete our set elegantly.
Nor watches jewelry, they are unique, are suitable in a gentleman. The elegant simplicity and discretion should be but never snobbish. It is for this reason that the leather watches are, as a rule, more elegant than steel or gold.
In short, this is one side to find a suitable match between your watch and the rest of our attire and on the other to get the clock than the first cynosure of our partners. There are plenty of watches beauty and enormous technical complexity need not be visible outside their materials or their size and yet ultimately are the ones who are more beautiful and that the second generation will look so proud.
Twins
Although the twins are not in that short initial list of pieces of jewelry that a gentleman can have no doubt that since the end of S. XIX have won on merit a privileged position in it.
While twins appearing in the S. XVII knights of the time did not use them to prefer these then close the cuffs with silk ties. It was only on S. XIX when the twins begin to become popular and become the perfect place to display beautiful pieces like topaz, turquoise or sapphire.
Again England and Anglomania was reigning at the time the big "guilty" that its use began to spread both within and outside its borders. Such Anglomania who travels the world in the 30s makes all men want to follow the new trend and close their shirts with cufflinks, something reserved to date virtually alone to evening dress.
That popularity is attractive to the jewelry houses and quickly expanded the offer addressed to the gentlemen with twins really beautiful. In fact, it was the careful work of the artisans of the time of Van Cleef, Cartier and Tiffany responsible for creating the most beautiful and unique pieces that have survived to this day.
Another major responsible for the popularization of the twins was the historic Caf Society. Prominent members of this as Cole Porter, Duke of Windsor or the same Cary Grant exported from there to the world an image where the twins were kept largely the protagonists.
Also the ladies were left trapped by the charm of the twins. This was the case of Princess Natalie Paley, Tallulah Bankhead, Amy Jolly or Marlene Dietrich same people whenever the occasion permitted displayed their little treasures.
The twins continued to evolve over time resulting in very different shapes and materials to those known to date. In the film L'Homme l'Hispano you can see the first twins made up entirely of plastic or leather and with very different designs to custom hitherto.
From the 70 twins gives way to the "functional" buttons and shirts industrial workshops and leave with a simple fist stitched sleeve.
Today, however, we see again a clear resurgence of the use of twins and no self-respecting gentleman elegant in our country not decant these cuffs on their shirts. By contrast, in countries such as Italy still very present button and the twins, although very popularized, they have the exclusive elegance.
Today we find a huge variety of twins and frankly many of them with interesting designs. However, although the midrange twins have improved in design, jewel twins being less defendants have not done at the same speed and the models found in jewelry today the world's major cities do not have a great attractive.
This has been seen as a business opportunity and craftsmen as David Webb twins have begun to make a huge jewelry beauty. However, it is not necessary to make a large outlay to buy a nice pair of cufflinks. For example, not so exclusive but always interesting design cufflinks archideseados Links or JAR or always fun delle Idee Il travaso are some very interesting options.
There are also real craftsmen working materials like ivory achieved with such a result in material near the twin concept jewel but look closer to the playful twin.
The choice of our shirt cuff is personal and very authoritative although opinions that maintain that simple fist is the most elegant, I am of the opinion that double fist makes a distinction above the shirt cuff simple. In addition, having this supplement will allow us to introduce a touch of color and variety to our final set.
Until quite recently, most of the gentlemen who decided to show on their shirts twins chose those close to the kind jewel. Today the vast and interesting array of twins allows us to choose this add on a more cheerful and multiple shapes and colors that stand today.
Like when we were talking clock, the choice of twin proportionality must keep proper and related to our attire. It seems logical that not the same calf which we use when clothe a tuxedo when we decantemos by an American casual with jeans. In fact, in our twins tuxedo shirts must always be equal to the buttons to relocate it.
The twins have won on merit being worshiped among many lords. A clear example is Bertrand Pizzin who is said to have over 2,000 pairs, most of them being twins gem. Another gentleman who for years got caught by the charm of this small addition was Harry Connick Jr. who is another great collector.
The twins are probably along the watch the only supplement that proper care can last for many years and hopefully also pass to the next generation.
The seal
While I recognize that I am not fond of this add, those gentlemen who want to take the shield of your family must keep its seal is too lavish. We burn our initials without the seal as it lacks all sense and elegance. Even those with a gemstone seals are, in my opinion, an essential complement.
Simplicity is often synonymous with elegance and rings should be reserved for the ladies. A ring is a piece a gentleman too presumptuous to be considered elegant.
Today only in very specific circles in England can still use keep watching. If this is not our natural environment, the seal safely produce certain rejection and less misunderstanding.
Bracelets
Nor bracelets are an accessory that wakes me interest. Every day is more often seen as perfectly dressed gentlemen choose this add that from my point of view sober breaks the rest of the set. Moreover, there are few occasions where not one but several bracelets occupy part of the wrist. For me it is still a contradiction dress, for example, a classic three-piece suit and carrying five bracelets.
In short, I could understand their use in a totally casual look but never formal. If despite this recommendation we complete our dress with one or more bracelets should at all costs avoid large bracelets with clasps with conspicuous logos or those of any precious material such as gold or silver. Surely a braided leather bracelet or thread will do less damage to our final picture than any showy bracelet.
The belt
As you all know I am not a supporter of seat belt use as costume clothe. Braces, or failing a side plates are infinitely smarter than the prettiest belt. The belt, as we have said repeatedly here, just get your body divided into two parts in a very visible and consequently shorten our figure.
In casual use, where the difference in fabrics and colors of the top and bottom is marked belt use becomes more understandable and often favors the outcome.
If we do not pay for it, we flee to exhibit large logos or prints of the mark on the belt. Neither makes sense to get carried away by fashion so popular among footballers wear a large brooch with initials in our belt. The only interpretation that you can find this is precisely what we have to flee at all costs.
If what you seek is not free advertising houses are usually Italian or French, even within these brands, belts much more interesting to consider.
The pashmina
Today is generically called a kind of pashmina scarf slightly longer and lighter material than this. However this is not entirely correct.
Pashmina is a type of wool from pashmina goats that live in the Ladakh region of Kashmir in India. In the Kashmir region occurs known as pashmina wool. Pashmina wool along with Himalayan Tibetan antelope and Peruvian vicua today represents maximum exclusivity wool.
As shown this fall, the increasingly cold weather and last less each year are more benign. It is for this reason that the use of traditional wool scarf has less and less meaning and functionality of the pashmina is more in keeping with the times, in terms climatological run.
The pashmina wool is characterized by being lighter than traditional wool and is distinguished by its softness and protection against cold. Finding a 100% pashmina pashmina wool is downright difficult and is often mixed with other fabrics such as silk. Also the mixture of silk and cashmere is fairly common. Notwithstanding the pure pashmina made of the most exclusive remain as number and price.
In addition to its functionality, the pashmina adds a touch of elegance and style hardly achievable by the traditional scarf. The possibilities it offers when knot it at the neck and long drop an extra set to give our look. There are several sizes although I would opt for those oversized shawl 36'' x 80'' and leave aside the scarf type usually measure 15'' x 60''.
Unfortunately in our country pashminas supply is very low and most of those sold as such are closer to traditional scarves both in action and in tissues. Definitely, we do not find it easy to get hold of interesting models.
Again we have to leave our borders and go to Paris or Florence to see some variety. In both cities the Knights do not have any complex in wearing a garment created thinking about the woman.
Glasses
Although contact lenses today are very sophisticated and tolerance to them has increased considerably due to the improvement of the compounds, there are still men who prefer to use the classic glasses.
Advising one model or another would make no sense to be a very personal choice and above all to possess every gentleman a different physiognomy. My only advice is to look at them the same style as we look in our clothes. If your style is classic should not opt for maxi so fashionable models. Instead, I see no problem in opt for this type of sport glasses with our clothing.
If, however, our style is more modern it is logical that we opt for more daring models. If you do not plan on changing glasses regularly is always better to opt for classic models that do not have a lot of horse.
Perhaps the only rule to keep in mind when purchasing our new glasses day (not the sun) is referred to Alan Flusser in his book "Dressing the Man". If we all agree that our face should be the main protagonist and clothing should help us so, or in his own words, if we admit that our face should be the picture and everything that surrounds the frame, we looking goggles not centralize it the look of our partners. Thus the choice of color is very important.
If we are always brown skin will be more convenient to opt for dark frames and unclear. If instead our complexion is clear, choosing dark glasses will not achieve our goal: that is our face and our glasses to the final photo to look at our partners as a goggle too dark highlighted by the sharp contrast of colors .
Although everyday sunglasses are used more in winter, its use is still much more prevalent in the summer. Whether they are an add much needed in our country, does not mean that their use is justified in all occasions.
Surely more than one of us will be tired of watching as summer weddings, there are even guests who act as witnesses and go to church with the latest model of the season. Like a 44mm watch is unfit to dress up in a morning coat nor the iconic pilot sunglasses Ray-Ban is a good companion for our tuxedo. Everything in its place and in time.
Likewise, neither is welcome to use sunglasses indoors let alone when we're sitting at the table for a long even insist that certain Hollywood stars in their attitude belie this claim.
The pen
The pen was not until the 50s a faithful alidade of the pockets of the jackets of the knights of the time. The simplicity of the pen, its lower cost and safety of not staining the jacket became the latter in his natural replacement. However, the romance of a feather will never be available to any pen.
Although fewer in number every day, there are still men who still use the pen as they were of old, and are reluctant to replace the pen impersonal. The signing is done with a pen gives the feeling that endure the vicissitudes of life more successfully.
Large firms have made history with a pen as they have done great works of literature. For example, Eisenhower signed the peace of World War II with a pen Parker51. The signing of the 1987 Nuclear Disarmament is done with Parker pens created for the occasion by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. Winston Churchill signed a Conway Stewart normally etc.
The "technology" of the nib has evolved a lot and we are no longer exposed to these unexpected spots. Also rarely leave us in the lurch as if they do, and on many occasions, pens.
We must recognize that before Belle was reserved only pen and pens were looked at her and did not care about such designs as the first. Today the situation has changed and we can find really attractive pens.
As we have said throughout the whole article, we always look for consistency in all of our accessories. No sense wearing a suit and carrying Huntsman cut inside plastic pen, for that is lightweight and comfortable, because we certainly see that gentleman would hit out at a dinner that pen to record any data.
Feathers, like clocks, can have great sentimental value to its owner. Whether good because with us for many years because we have inherited from a loved one or simply because we signed her an important event in our lives, we can bring a pen emotional memories. Today, even many of the men who use the pen daily reserve large firms to his pen.
Currently there are major collectors of authentic treasures possessing pens and have no qualms about going to the most exclusive auction to acquire this piece are looking for long time.
If buying a new pen I would recommend it, as would many of the accessories here treated us with period pieces in antique shops. For example, store the legendary Peter Ptz Colony has infinitely pens, cuff links, etc.. with great beauty and history.
The umbrella, mobile, wallet, luggage set ....
There are many other accessories that can make us all a touch of elegance and distinction. A clear example is the umbrella Swaine or James Smith & Son, which is a wooden hand polished to be chosen in three different sizes.
Although other items enter more in detail in the rules of chivalry to which all should pay attention sir, we must always remember that whe
