Necklace, Chain, Ring, Earring- How to Wear These
Necklace
Every man needs at least a necklace in his fashion accessory collection. Necklaces should be bold, simple, not multi-colored, clumsy and overweight. Instead, opt for something trendy like a necklace made up of wooden or plain metal beads.
The beads should be plain-colored wood or some different shades of natural wood. You can deviate from plain colors by buying color-dyed beads. Most styles of necklaces are offered in various colors. As a general rule choose the neutral colors that match most of your clothes; that way you'll be able to wear your necklace everyday with any piece of clothing you have available.
How to wear it
These types of necklaces are best worn with t-shirts or plain long-sleeved shirts. It's a great way to upgrade and polish your overall look for dress down Fridays, important dates, or even before hitting a trendy nightspot.
Many celebrities have been seen wearing them, the most known being Latin sensation Enrique Iglesias and the actor Brad Pitt. It goes without saying that these necklaces can add a little touch of sex appeal and uniqueness to your personal style when worn with the proper attire.
Gold, silver or platinum chains display a classier and more powerful image than beaded and string necklaces. The chain should be medium-sized because if it's too thin, it defies the whole purpose of trying to look stylish... and it might also look effeminate. On the other hand, if it's a very thick chain, it could make you look like a racketeer.
Metal chains
Choose a chain with a medium-sized diameter, made of real metal such as gold, silver and platinum. Avoid fakes because they are pretty obvious and no one likes jewelry with very revealing luster.
Radiant jewelry is what you may see Liz Taylor wear, or anybody else with a flashy character. A little tip on how to wear your metal chain: keep it nicely tucked in your shirt. Leaving it hanging outside your shirt is simply tacky and looks childish.
Rings aren't only for weddings
A ring is also a very popular accessory for men. Wearing a simple ring can be very elegant and stylish at the same time.
Besides the good old ring finger on your left hand, you can wear a ring on your pinky finger, your middle finger, or for you more daring guys, your thumb. These days nobody really cares about which finger you wear a ring on, as long as the ring looks good and fits the rest of your outfit.
Simplicity and elegance should be your main guidelines when choosing a ring. Silver rings always look good whether they're plain, combined with black, or mounted with a stone.
The same applies to white gold or platinum. A yellow gold ring can either look very good or tacky and over-opulent. The ring can't be too big because it'll seem disproportionate with your fingers, and will come across as flashy.
Yellow gold doesn't match with many colors. So avoid wearing a yellow gold ring with a red ruby stone and a blue suit -- you'll look like a fool. Then again, if you're living a gaudy lifestyle and money is no object, buy yourself the biggest ring you can afford.
Earrings are for...
It's impossible to talk about fashion accessories without mentioning earrings. Women, teenagers or rock stars wear earrings. Again, it depends on the type of work you're involved in and what image you want to portray. Any kind of piercing --lips, nipples and ears might mirror a rebellious and unprofessional image.
I enjoy more unusual and daring trends, but earrings on men is something that never caught my eye. So, for you guys looking to spruce up your style with earwear, I recommend you think twice about it. Most women find earrings on men unattractive, and you're a rock star, they might find it out of place.
Remember, you can wear fashion accessories or jewelry as long as they are simple and classy. Just make sure they match the rest of your ensemble's color and style, and you'll look like a million bucks.
