Everyday Carry: Contrast
Do you want to look better, dress better, and draw more positive attention to yourself? Of course you do. So here’s the good news: With just a little bit of attention to color theory, you can create a signature look through the use of contrast in your EDC accessories. Dress these everyday carry essentials up with just about any outfit, and you’re guaranteed to look good.
The Ridge Wallet
The Ridge Wallet was already one of our favorite minimalist pieces of everyday carry gear long before they started adding cool color options. But now that you can get it in a rainbow of colors, materials, and prints, this slim wallet is even better. Try on the contrasting black and matte white colorway for size if you want to hear a lot of “ooh, where did you get that?”
The James Brand Folsom Knife
For under $100, The James Brand’s Folsom Knife is an absolute steal. The slim, bone-white scales conceal an extremely sharp and durable VG-10 steel blade with a versatile drop point design. A stable deployment liner lock completes the package, making this knife a fantastic choice for your daily carry.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300
Seamaster’s Diver watches are going on 30 years of popularity at this point, and with good reason: As well as being gorgeous statement pieces endorsed by James Bond himself, they’re extra durable and water resistant to 1000 feet. The polished white ceramic on this colorway contrasts perfectly with the blackened hour and minute hands, stainless steel case, and black rubber strap.
Oakley Chainlink Sunglasses
Active lifestyles demand a different sort of gear—and when it comes to sunglasses, Oakley really delivers on that front. Their Chainlink Sunglasses (pictured here in high contrast matte white and half-black arms) are built for dual purposes, being stylish enough for everyday wear while also durable enough for your favorite sporting activities.
