The All-purpose Men’s Leather Bracelet

Aug 092012

Let’s be honest – as much as we all want to have always the newest stuff – the latest clothes, the latest accessories, the latest iPhone, it’s always good to know that there is one piece in our wardrobe that can be worn we virtually everything we own. It’s nice to be able to rely on a men’s leather bracelet that can take you to work, then to a happy hour, then to a club, and then… you got the picture. With our fast lifestyles, we don’t always have the time to constantly change and constantly carry several outfits… and in our hurry to get to the next thing on our busy schedules, we miss to notice the little details.

And… as we know – it’s the little things that matter.

A men’s leather bracelet is one of these little things that can make or break your entire outfit. It’s one little detail that sends you over the edge of fashion and style. So, drum rolls, please, to our top 3 picks for all-purpose (aka “wearable-to-all-occasions”) men’s leather bracelets:

1) The Spanish Braid - Understated, yet intricate, this inspired by the sailing ships sterling silver and leather bracelet, is a piece of jewelry that you can never take off your wrist. With its ringbolt hitching originally used as a chafing guard and a “thump deadener” for deck rings, it easily turns from the bracelet that shows a bit from under your suit’s jacket sleeve to the center of attention at the club.

2) The Anchor – The simple must-have bracelet that turns heads. For the man whose presence is strong and true – whom others see as their port in the storms of life – this men’s leather bracelet with its heavyweight .925 sterling silver anchor is a most apt representation of his style and character.

3) The Heavy Bolo – This is a masculine leather bracelet for the man who wants to make a bold statement. The front of this thick braided leather bracelet is a band of luxurious, 7mm black nappa leather (a soft, unsplit full grain leather), each strand of which is folded before braiding to provide a smooth edge and consistent color throughout. The ends of the leather band are capped with solid and very heavy sterling silver.

And there you have them – the three men’s leather bracelets that can stay on your wrist from the very first business appointment in the morning to the very last drink that you have at the bar.

Take a moment and look down at your wrists. You probably don’t see what you should – a leather bracelet. What do you actually see? What’s on them at the moment? A clunky watch? An old, tired bracelet? Another lackluster accessory of some kind or another? Or maybe – nothing.

Every day, we use our hands and arms for a variety of tasks, from typing at our computers, to choosing a bottle of wine at dinner, to pushing a lawnmower, to opening a beer. Why not thank your wrists for all their hard work with a much needed makeover? May we suggest – a wrap leather bracelet or a rope bracelet from Sivani.

Feeling rugged and outdoorsy? To meet your needs for a quick layered look, there is no better choice than a leather wrap bracelet. Simple and versatile, our triple wrap bracelet is comprised of three coils of classic braided leather cord and subtle handmade, corrugated tube beads of .925 sterling silver — a distinctly masculine look that blazes a new stylistic trail from its American West original.

Stacked – Triple Wrap Rope Bracelet by Sivani

Another, more contemporary piece, such as the “Stacked” wrap bracelet can add a splash of color. The non-traditional material — rope, used for running rigging of a sailing vessel — definitely will give you the so much wanted “WOW” effect. Let’s face it, the combination of bold colors — lime green, black with red and yellow, red — and the fact that not one but two strands of rope wrap around your wrist three times, make this rope bracelet an essential must-have for the modern man with an edge.

Sivani’s wrap bracelets come in so many styles, materials and colors, it’s hard to wear just one. From leather to rope, and sterling silver to gemstones, your wrists are sure to grab attentions in one of these original, handmade creations as you go about the business of looking awesome each and every day.

Rebel Style For the Man Who Knows the Rules But Chooses to Break Them

Rebel Style for Men; SivaniDesigns.com

Thanks in large part to the new emphasis on men’s style in magazines and in culture at large, guys have been able to gain a level of freedom in fashion, a sense of rebel style, that hasn’t been seen in decades. As regular readers will know, we at Sivani are dedicated to helping all men look the part of whatever part it is they want to play. But we do have a soft spot for the fashion rebels – Sivani men who know all the fashion rules, but choose to break them. Think you have what it takes to be one of them? Read on.

Stylish rebel men know that fashion is sometimes in the details. In women’s fashion, we call these details ‘accessories.’ But you can think of them as tools for style success. It’s not just the flashy leather jacket, for instance - it’s the braided leather bracelet that goes with it that makes a real statement. These guys shun the notion that men don’t wear jewelry, proudly wearing their sleek, masculine pieces with pride. Whether out on the surf, dominating the boardroom, or in their favorite bar, these men know that what’s overt isn’t always the sexiest.

Speaking of details: why not let the rebel in you come through with a new haircut? If you’re been rocking the same ’do since high school, schedule an appointment now at the best place in town. A stylist can help you determine which look matches your personality and plays to your face’s strengths. Real rebels might even consider a streak of color somewhere in their locks – whether silver gray or bright red, you’ll definitely stand out from the rest.

We encourage men to break out of style norms and to truly express themselves through their style choices. So do it: wear pink and purple, and blue and brown together. Mix patterns and materials all you want. And remember: your style is your own – make it that way.

Better With Age: Rugged Jeans, Belts, Hats, and Leather Jewelry

Here at Sivani, we truly believe that investing in high-quality fashion and jewelry items is not always a smart idea. It’s ultimately better for your bank account, the planet, and oftentimes even for your look itself. What follows is our list of the top 4 clothing and accessory items that look sexier the longer they’re in your fashion rotation.

1. Jeans. The classic American staple is always at its finest when broken in. Made to be durable and an icon of the Old West, you can put these pants through the ringer and they won’t break a sweat for a good, long time. Once they do, though, don’t toss them: wear them with pride. Faded (or fading) jeans look excellent with everything from a white t-shirt and suit jacket to a plaid button-down and boots. Embrace your inner cowboy or cowgirl by settling in with a great pair of rugged jeans in a partnership that can last for years.

2. Belts. Once you’ve got those jeans tamed and worn down (and possibly ripped a bit for good measure), you will want to enhance the look with your favorite old leather belt. As leather ages, it wrinkles to a state of weathered perfection that no amount of money can buy: you simply have to earn it over the years.

3. Baseball hats. The more you take these out to the ball game, the better. Among true fans of the sport, there is little badge of honor greater than a cap that reflects the blood, sweat, and tears its wearer has endured (not to mention the sun or rain) in the pursuit of victory.

4. Leather jewelry. Leather jewelry is incredibly versatile, and can be worn in a variety of different ways. While you should always take care to protect your leather bracelets and necklaces from sun and water damage, leather jewelry does look sexier as you wear it. There is something sensual about the fine lines and slickness leather acquires as it ages which suggests a rugged maturity and wisdom in the wearer. If this sounds appealing to you, we welcome you to have a look at our Sivani Designs site for inspiration!
