Looks like style has made its way onto the sidelines. Keen watchers of the World Cup may have noticed Germany soccer team head coach Joachim Löw’s trademark cobalt blue v-neck sweater; but look closer: you’ll see the bracelet on his wrist. Family heirloom? Self made? None of the above. Instead, Löw’s trinket is part of Tod’s new “My Colors” braided leather bracelets that have been fashioned in all the national teams’ colors. Word has it they were ordered for the entire German national soccer team, and while they lost to Spain in the semi-finals, they did at least get them that far.
Available in a slew of color combinations (light blue, white/red/green; red/black/yellow, red/white/light blue, white/red, yellow/green, yellow/red, with/light blue, blue/red/white, red/yellow/green), they’re meant to foster team spirit and togetherness. They remind of the lanyard bracelets I made as a kid; they’re fun to collect and I recommend wearing multiples at a time. It’s a chic and simple summer look that’ll easily and quickly add some oomph that crisp buttondown.
$225, available at Tod’s boutiques
