The Best Jewellery Pieces In A Man’s Wardrobe
For the modern fashionable gent, there are seemingly never-ending extras that can be added to complete an outfit. Jewellery pieces can be the final touch that elevates even an otherwise boring ensemble to something that stands out from the crowd. In my latest article, I share the best options that you can incorporate into your everyday style.
Bracelets
One of my favourite jewellery choices is a classic bracelet, which offers a wide variety of options. A simple cuff is popular in the menswear sector (my personal preference is “oxidised”, which gives off a worn, tarnished appearance) and can easily be slipped on for everything from a formal occasion with a suit to casual affairs with a jacket and jeans.
Alternatively, you can opt for a silver or gold chain, such as a braided design, or one with coloured gems or stones for a pop of colour. If metal is not your thing, you could pick out a woven fabric or leather bracelet – these are particularly good for summer settings (especially with a linen shirt and shorts combo on the beach).
Rings
There is undoubtedly a vast spectrum of choice when it comes to rings, from a basic metal band (silver, gold, platinum, and beyond) to something a little more extravagant, with many adorning different stones, or even diamonds if you are feeling extra flush! Thanks to the sheer number of digits on your hands, you can wear multiple rings at once (perhaps avoid going for 10 or more!). The go-to would be 1-3 for everyday outfits, or add some extra spice with a slim thumb ring or even one on your pinky for fashionable occasions.
Necklace
Slipping a necklace or pendant around your neck is an easy addition, plus it can quickly be “hidden” if required by popping it beneath your t-shirt, sweater, or button-up (but you still know that you are wearing it, which can be particularly important if it’s of personal importance to you – for example, if it is engraved).
If you want something minimalist, you are easily covered, with plenty of simple chains available in different designs and metal types. If you want something a little more special, you can choose a style which includes a pendant (perhaps a hanging stone, gem, or an eye-catching shape or design). Instead, a variety of leather-crafted necklaces are available (often with a distressed metal pendant attachment) that, like a leather cuff, work great in the summertime.
Earrings
As time moves on and fashion progresses, more and more guys are booking in for an ear piercing procedure, which opens up a whole new avenue of jewellery style choices. Many men will typically start off with a simple design like a plain stud, then move up to a stud with a gem (another option to go bold with a diamond!). Finally, they promote themselves to a fully-fledged earring advocate and rock one that features eye-catching embellishments (feathers, spikes, and gothic crosses are excellent design ideas).
Jewellery Matching
If you frequently match your outfit with your partner (especially for special events or occasions), you can complement their jewellery choices with your own. For example, choose complementary metals (whether you are both wearing gold, silver, or all-black coated styles), or go all out with flashier pieces. For instance, showcase your power-couple status by wearing jewel-entrusted jewellery pieces that complement her choice in diamond engagement rings.
Final Thoughts
If you are new to the delights of jewellery for men, then the points in this guide will point you in the right direction. By investing in a selection of rings, bracelets, necklaces, or even earrings, you can effectively boost any outfit in your wardrobe collection. Furthermore, with effective planning, you can head to any event with your partner, wearing complementary jewellery pieces to showcase your keen eye for style and attention to detail.
