How to Style Men's Jewellery

Are you looking to add some style to your wardrobe this fall? Men's jewellery has become increasingly popular as a way to express personal style and add a fashionable touch to any outfit. Though the topic of accessorizing for men is often (sadly) ignored, knowing how to elevate your outfit is a surefire way to enhance your overall look in both professional and personal environments.

From the office to a night out with friends, finding the right accessories is a great way to express yourself and put together a more tailored presence. In recent years, the fashion world has embraced more statement pieces that allow you to show off your personality while tying your outfit together. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach or a bolder statement, these styling tips will help you master the art of accessorizing with men's jewellery.

 

What’s Your Style?

The first thing to know about choosing your own accessories is that you’ll want to spend some time reflecting on your personal sense of style. Are you drawn to classic looks that hold up over time? Maybe you prefer bolder, more "in-your-face" elements, or something that represents a little bit of both. Bear in mind that everyone’s preferences are different, so there’s no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" choice.

 

Key Popular Men’s Jewellery Items & Styling Tips

Whether you’re aiming to look fresh out of the pages of a catalogue or laid-back and relaxed, here are some of the most popular pieces to consider adding to your collection, along with tips on how to style them:

Chains & Necklaces

Chains are, for many men, what pendant necklaces are to women’s fashion. As a versatile piece, a chain can be extremely understated for just a hint of flair or more dynamic to pull extra attention. Whether paired with a simple T-shirt, nice denim, and sneakers or a freshly pressed dress shirt and slacks, chains are the perfect complement to showcase that you’re anything but ordinary.

• Balancing Chains: When it comes to styling chains, balance is key. If you opt for a chunky gold chain, balance the look by keeping other jewellery minimal and letting the chain take center stage. Pair it with a simple T-shirt or a button-down shirt with the top few buttons undone to showcase the piece.

• Subtle Options: For a more understated approach, choose a thinner silver chain or a pendant necklace that adds a touch of elegance without overpowering your outfit. Remember, less is often more when it comes to chains, so choose one or two quality pieces rather than layering too many.

Bracelets

Bracelets may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of men’s jewellery, but they are becoming increasingly common. From metal cuffs to braided leather, beads, and link chains, there’s plenty to choose from.

• Layering Bracelets: One popular trend is layering bracelets to create a stylish and personalized look. Start with a statement piece, such as a leather cuff or a metal link bracelet, as the focal point. Then, add complementary bracelets with different textures, materials, and widths.

• Combining Styles: Consider combining beaded bracelets with metallic accents or woven bracelets for a relaxed, bohemian vibe. Experiment with mixing metals, but keep the overall look cohesive by selecting pieces with similar color tones or a unifying theme.

Watches

A good watch never goes out of style! As a staple to any wardrobe, watches are a wonderful investment and are typically the most-used piece in a man’s ensemble. From everyday wear that allows you to showcase your pop culture allegiances, like Citizen’s line of Marvel watches, to more elevated pieces like those from Bulova, MVMT, or Guess, there are plenty of ways to dress your outfit up or down.

Rings

Another common piece for men is the ring. Married or not, more men are choosing to embrace wearing rings on either hand thanks to specialty comfort fits and sleek styles that can be integrated seamlessly into any lifestyle.

General Principles for Styling Men's Accessories

Mixing Metals

Don't be afraid to mix metals when styling men's jewellery. Combining gold and silver pieces can create a modern and eclectic look. For instance, pair a silver chain with a gold pendant or layer a gold bracelet with a silver cuff. Mixing metals adds depth and visual interest to your ensemble, allowing you to showcase different pieces simultaneously. However, be mindful of keeping the overall look cohesive by choosing metals with a similar tone or finish.

Adding Texture

Texture is an essential element in styling men's jewellery. Incorporate different textures to create contrast and add dimension to your look. For example, pair a smooth leather bracelet with a chain bracelet featuring textured links, or combine a beaded bracelet with a braided leather bracelet. Textured pieces draw attention and create a visually appealing aesthetic that makes your jewellery stand out.

 

Consider the Occasion

• Formal or Professional Settings: Opt for minimal and understated pieces. A sleek metal bracelet, a classic watch, or a thin chain necklace can add a touch of sophistication without being overly flashy.

• Casual or Streetwear Looks: Feel free to experiment with bold and statement-making pieces, such as a thick chain bracelet, stacked leather cuffs, or a pendant necklace with a unique design.

 

Elevate Your Style

Styling men's jewellery allows you to express your personal style and enhance your overall look. Whether you're layering bracelets, balancing chains, mixing metals, adding texture, or dressing for a specific event, the key is to find the right balance and create a confident, cohesive look.
