Appreciate the beauty nature provides with a pendant necklace that showcases a silver mold of a wood fragment strung on a sterling silver chain.
This smock-style T-shirt with the word "FIGHT" embroidered on the front perfectly fits the boxer motif. Also, the subtle draping is reminiscent of an ancient Roman toga.
These lambskin boxing shorts in rich brown lambskin leather are a knockout piece.
This crossbody bag is minimalistic and practical in typical Sebastien Ami fashion yet stylish with its camel-colored canvas and nickel hardware.
Everyone needs an arsenal of everyday accessories. For example, this solid silver ear cuff could go with and elevate any look.
