BEST OF SUMMER: ERNEST ALEXANDER

Accessories are one area where you can safely take risks. Watches, sunglasses, sneakers and beautiful bags, like this blazing orange Banker’s weekender from Ernest Alexander, will set you apart and help define your look. Having a duality with your style is important; next time you find yourself on a train heading south along the the Amalfi Coast and there’s an open seat next to a beautiful Italian girl, don’t let your laid back flip flops and tee shirt fool her – let your beat-up, waxed canvas bag paint the fuller picture. $525, available at Ernest Alexander.
