How to Wear Man Jewelry feat. Philip Crangi (Part II)

1. Workwear to Work 

“This is a bit of a work wear look for me.  As a matter of fact I wear this to work almost every day.”

“The toughness of this hex nut cuff goes well with this outfit. It’s a really wearable piece”

I’m not a big fan of mens bracelets, mainly because they’ve become a craze and it’s gone too far. I see guys wearing dozens of different wrist wraps in multiple colors and fabrics…it’s too much.

Philip does it right. He keeps it simple, with the focus on one awesome piece (that happens to be a perfect match for his wicked vintage Barbour).

Vintage Barbour jacket. Inhabit cashmere cardigan. J. Crew flannel shirt. Vintage Helmut Lang jeans. Comme des garçon wool scarf. Comme Des Garçon Dr.Martens. Giles & Brother Leather Hex Nut Cuff. Hermes Cape Cod watch.

2. Professor, “Worn in Luxury 101″“This professorial look is achieved with both the classic signet ring and lizard loafers.”

“The vintage Saville Row tweed blazer, like the gold hook bracelet, have a kind of worn in luxury that compliment each other well.”

Brown/green jacket, brown/green shades.

Vintage tweed, worn in cords, washed scarf.

Ostrich skin watchband, lizard skin loafers.

The little touches that bring his outfits together are subtle and tasteful.

The outfit gets better the more you learn about it and see the details.

Vintage tweed jacket. Dries Van Notten linen and silk sweater. RRL corduroys. Churches loafers. Inhabit cashmere and cotton scarf. Hermes Arceau watch. Barton Perreira sunglasses. Giles & Brother 14k gold hook with leather lashing. Vintage signet ring

3. Past Meet Present

“I’ve been feeling kind of nostalgic.  There is something about an ’80s proportion, not exactly “Buffalo” but with a nod to that kind of look.”

“This vintage coat was such a great find.  It feels so modern but it is from the ’50s.

These understated Giles & Brother pieces add clean modern lines to an otherwise vintage look.”

So much artistic personality in this look – from the graphic print, to the bandana scarf, to the white socks.

Vintage mohair coat. Keith Haring by Patricia Field sweatshirt. APC jeans. Vintage bandana. Hermes belt. Churches shoes. Giles & Brother Black visor bracelet and Black hook with leather lashing.

4. Sea Captain Swag“This is a favorite “winter in new york” outfit. Maybe it’s the blond beard but I tend to default to the seafarer look.”

  “The hex nut cuff and the id bracelet in black compliment the mood.”I love how Philips looks are often drawn from a specific inspiration – workwear, professorial, vintage, seafarer, etc.

It’s a common trait among designers I think.Vintage U.S. Navy peacoat. Prada wool cardigan. Commes Des Garçon shirt. Acne jeans. Red Wing boots. Giles & Brother Hex nut cuff hematite and Black Braided Leather ID Wrap Bracelet. 

5. Masculine EleganceMasculine jewelry isn’t reserved for casual occasions.

With a suited look, though, the touches should be even more minimal and subtle.“Cognac diamonds set in dark steel rings give this dress up look the right edge – one of the few cases where men look good in diamonds”Even his suited look is full of personality – the play on dark colors/fabrics, the flare on the pants, the minimal collar pin, the perforated slip-ons, the chunky tortoise shades, the badassbelt…Sabitino suit. Kolor shirt. Prada shoes. Jill Sander tie. Louis Vuitton belt. Tom Ford sunglasses.
