Jewellery – it's not just for women and it's not limited to feminine designs this day and age. Men's jewellery, as a matter of fact, has been a real star in the jewellery industry in the last couple of years. Male artists and celebrities shine brighter with jewellery. Businessmen and authority figures exude more power with jewellery. Any "boy in the ‘hood" could look hip and trendy with jewellery. Wearing jewellery is a new trend among men, and they love it!
When we speak of men's jewellery, we also speak of men's accessories. And there is certainly a wide array of items under that category. More conservative men would just stick to a classic watch and a wedding band for their accessories. The hipper, bolder and more experimental types, though, would love to try something new. So they would not mind sporting a huge, gold ring; a monogrammed pendant with diamond studs; a titanium dog tag; humorous cufflinks; or personalized silver bracelets. Wearing the right jewellery or accessory is key to smart-dressing and looking stylish. Men should not be afraid to jazz up their look with some serious jewellery, but they have to make sure it suits their image and profession if they want to be taken seriously.
Wrapped Around His Finger.
If the man is married, wearing gold, white gold, or platinum wedding band/ring is a given thing. But single gentlemen out there could decorate their finger with a plain, silver ring; a ring mounted with a stone; or a yellow gold ring. Whatever he prefers, it must look good and fit the rest of his outfit.
Accentuate Thy Neck.
Every man should own at least one necklace he can use to add spice to his outfit. A bold and simple trendy necklace made of either wooden or metal beads is good. It is best worn with a simple short- or long-sleeved shirt.
The Wrist Solution
Bracelets are less popular with men, but they could definitely add attitude to their attire and overall look. There are classic and more stylish designs. They can be plain, chain or more elaborate; and gold, silver and platinum. A classic platinum bracelet can be worn to a formal or informal get-together. Woven bracelets are alright for casual events.
Pimp My Ear
Earrings generally work for men who project a rock star or artist image and those who are in an informal business environment. Whether they are stud or hoop, earrings spruce up any rocker or artist's style. These are best worn with casual or rocker-style attires.
Fasten Those Cuffs
Cufflinks are essential to every man's formal wear. They are posh and can certainly add that touch of uniqueness and elegance into a-just-fine dress shirt. Vintage, monogrammed, novelty, and sterling silver are just a few styles of cufflinks.
The list of men's accessories and jewellery does not stop here. There are a lot of other things that can add spice to a man's outfit, whether casual or formal. As long as the man knows the right jewellery to go with his attire and he does not over-decorate himself with accessories, he'll look stylish. He'll look like a million bucks!
