Jewelry for Men
It's very cool to see jewelry on men! Good accessorizing shows fashion savvy, gumption and self-confidence. Here you'll have some ideas for men's jewelry, discussed more or less in order from most to least common:
Watches
A good watch is a man's most evident choice for a fashion accessory. In extremely conservative situations a watch, and a wedding band, are the limits of fashion. The main rule here is to wear a watch that coordinates with your ensemble and is appropriate for the occasion. Because of an exceptional watch will go well with anything, don't wear trendy or sporty watches with formal attire or in conservative social situations.
Rings
A ring doesn't need to be limited to only a wedding band! Feel free to wear a ring on any finger. As is true for women, the scale of the ring should be in keeping with body size. Don't wear metals or stones that will clash with other jewelry or clothing. Keep it simple and don't embellish every finger with a ring.
Necklaces and Pendants
Necklaces add sex appeal and personal style to your ensemble.Men's necklaces should be bold, simple and nice. Don't go for an entire rainbow of colors or for anything ornate. Strong, simple chains are the best choices, as are necklaces and pendants using natural materials, such as shells, stones, and wood. Precious metals (platinum, gold, silver) convey a sense of power and prestige; beaded or strung necklaces convey fashion sense and individuality. They should be worn inside the shirt (not hanging around a collar or outside a sweater). Neck jewelry works well with tee shirts and simple long sleeve shirts and sweaters.
Tie Jewelry
Tie clips, bars or tacks are all options for keeping a tie from wandering. Your choice depends to some extent on fashion trends. If comfort and practicality are the main issue for you, choose a simple design that coordinates with most of your wardrobe.
Bracelets
A bracelet is right for formal and casual wear. Choose a sleek, classic style that goes with any other jewelry that will be worn, such as a watch or ring. A man's bracelet should fit close to his wrist, and not slide up/down his arm or dangle onto his hand. While metal chains are appropriate for most occasions, beaded and woven bracelets are more sporty and trendy and should be reserved for casual wear.
Cuff Links
Cuff links can add a sense of attention to detail in a formal setting. You should choose cuff links that accent clothing and other accessories. Avoid wearing a bracelet with cuff links, since this can look fussy and the pieces may catch on each other.
Piercings
Jewelry for pierced ears or other body parts isn't reserved for casual situations. As with any jewelry, you should consider the image that an accessory will project. Piercings on men may be associated with rebelliousness and insecurity. While the jewelry may be fashionable, keep the social situation and culture in mind choosing any accessory.
Hair Jewelry
If you have long and thick hair, choose accessories that blend in with your hair or complement clothing and accessories. Matte metals and leather are good choices for materials. If you wear glasses, don't wear obvious hair ornaments or other jewelry near your face.
