You're an outlive. Most male jewelry wearing escapades stop and start at a watch. By clasping a chain around your neck, putting a bracelet on your wrist, or slipping a ring on your finger, you put yourself a bit outside the norm. This isn't a negative thing in the slightest, but being aware of this sartorial reality will further help you pull off the look successfully. Additionally, keep your personal style in mind. If you tend to stray on the more outlandish end of things, integrating jewelry into your everyday look isn't going to be much of a shift. But if you have a more "refined" style, it's a good idea to (initially) stick to subdued pieces. So, start slowly. Assimilate yourself to the jewelry wearing culture with moderate cufflinks, unobtrusive tie bars, and, in certain circumstances, simple leather bracelets. As you begin to feel more comfortable sporting accessories, you can move on to more substantial bling. The difference between style and fashion is quality. Stick to one metal. It can be done, but mixing various metal tones is a tough move to execute with positive results. The safest and surest route is to wear only one metal (i.e. silver, gold, etc.) at a time. Gold garners attention whereas silver is almost always appropriate and gives off a smooth feel. Bracelets are a good second step. A bracelet will make a traditional suit standout and elevate a basic pair or jeans and a tee. Try pairing your steel link watch with a colorful leather bracelet, or an ID bracelet with your leather banded timepiece.. And always, always make sure to put the watch on first. Jewelry dress codes. You wouldn’t wear a full suit to your buddy’s BBQ and, alternatively, you wouldn’t rock chino shorts and a tank to a job interview at a financial firm downtown. Save your big statement pieces for more glamorous events such a wedding or dinner party. Just like your outfit, your jewelry should match the occasion(s) you'll be walking into. Cap it at two. Don’t wear more than two pieces of jewelry on one hand. Match your jewelry size to your body shape. A giant faced watch and thick chain on a guy who weighs 124 pounds is going to look really awkward and only accentuate his thinness. Whenever possible, wear/purchase jewelry that is at least somewhat in a similar realm of your body shape, size, and manly curves. Keep it thin. When it comes to necklaces, keep 'em relatively thin and never wear more than two at one time. Many consider jewellery to strictly be a woman’s domain, but we beg to differ. With the right approach, jewellery can just as easily enhance a man’s repertoire. Jimmy Page’s classic ring, Matt Damon’s minimalist braided bracelet designs, Bradley Cooper’s cuff bracelets and silver dog tag necklaces are fitting examples. Even so, we agree that this may be easier said than done, and there are ways men could go wrong. So we decode how to get it right! Don’t be bogged down by trends. Your jewellery choices should not be a trend-driven decision. Don’t give into the herd mentality and wear a particular piece simply because it’s popular. Understand what works best with your personality and stick to it. So, just Keep it simple. Men Rings: Start with basics like rings. Over the top experimentation from day one may not work in your favour. Once you’re comfortable wearing rings, then you can introduce yourself other jewellery. Cufflinks: Save your best pieces for the important occasions in your life. For instance, you could pull out cufflinks to make a statement during the festive statement or for that all-important meeting! Men Bracelets: Understand that less is more in this case. Incorporating a smart but understated bracelet into your look can surely elevate your style and add a unique dimension to your look. Style it right - if the bracelet has a more casual vibe, it will be best worn with jeans and tee rather than formal wear. Keep it stylish but sleek. Neck-pieces for Men: Simplicity will be your best friend in this arena. So when it comes to neckpieces, keep them sleek. And never wear more than two at one time.
