It is difficult to find accessories in your clothing, but there is a whole philosophy behind it. “I don’t use much. Watches have never caught my attention and with accessories I have always been quite sober. Sometimes I wear a pendant until it falls off and then I renew it, the same with a bracelet that I always wear ”, he explains.
As a classic man who hardly resorts to accessories, Álvaro attaches great importance to what he wears. They are never branded and you don’t look for them either. They are things that come to him loaded with sentimental value for the moment or the person who gives them to him. Thus, he explains to us that he was recently wearing a miniature gold ham leg that his sister gave him when she recorded the video clip for “Guantanamera.”

He is one of the people who sees what he is going to buy several times before paying for it and, once she does, she does not part with those clothes easily.
“Sometimes I buy pants and t-shirts and they are the ones I wear for three months. People always tell me that when I take it off it’s going to walk alone (laughs). When I find a garment that I like, I wear it and tan it, ”she emphasizes.
