Jewelry For Men

You love to see jewelry on you!! Good accessorizing shows fashion knowledge and self-confidence. Here are some ideas for men's jewelry, discussed more or less in order from most to least common:

• A good watch is a man's most obvious choice for a fashion accessory. In extremely conservative situations a watch, and perhaps 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. While an exceptional watch will go well with anything, don't wear trendy or sporty watches with formal attire or in conservative social situations.
• A ring doesn't need to be limited to 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 hand/body size. Don't wear metals or stones that will clash with other jewelry or clothing. As always, keep it simple and don't adorn every finger with a ring.
• Necklaces add sex appeal and personal style to your ensemble. A man's necklace should be bold and simple. Don't go for an entire rainbow of colors or for anything fussy. Strong, simple chains are good choices, as are necklaces and pendants using natural materials, such as shells, stones, and wood. Precious metals convey a sense of power and prestige; beaded or strung necklaces convey fashion sense and individuality. Necklaces and pendants should be worn inside the shirt. Neck jewelry works well with tee shirts and simple long sleeve shirts and sweaters.
• Tie clips, bars, and 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, choose a simple design that coordinates with most of your wardrobe.
• A bracelet is great 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 or woven bracelets are more sporty and trendy and should be reserved for casual wear.
• Cuff links can add a sense of attention to detail in a formal setting. 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.
• Jewelry for pierced ears or other body parts should be reserved for casual situations. As with any jewelry, you should consider the image that an accessory will project. Piercing on men may be associated with rebelliousness and insecurity. While the jewelry may be fashionable, keep the social situation and culture in mind when choosing any accessory.
• If you have long 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.
