Jewelry For Men
A classic watch is undoubtedly a man's single most important fashion accessory. Some more conservative men will go so far as to say that a watch should be the only accessory worn and that anything else is simply superficial and useless.
The modern man, however, can definitely look stylish while wearing a bracelet, chain or ring, as long as he doesn't exaggerate and mimic Dennis Rodman with hundreds of body rings, a dozen chains and a ring on each and every one of his fingers.
So what kind of fashion accessories should men wear in order to look stylish, without looking over-decorated and tacky?
Decorate your neck
Every man needs at least one necklace in his fashion accessory collection. Necklaces should be bold and simple, not multi-colored, clumsy or 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 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, try to limit yourself to 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 or 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 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 and platinum chains display a classier and more powerful image than beaded or string necklaces. The chain should be medium-sized because if it's too thin and flimsy, 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 or platinum. Avoid fakes because they are pretty obvious and no one likes jewelry with too much luster.
Radiant jewelry is what you may see Liz Taylor wear, or anybody else with a flashy character. Finally, 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 popular accessory for men. Wearing a simple ring can be very elegant and stylish at the same time. But for a few guys, taking the ring off could get you in big trouble!
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 rin...
